  Canterbury J - General

April 20, 2008

HOWEVER......... There is a little class .... smaller that the existing 12 metre classes that do have a boat that they do want to make and sell called a CANTERBURY J. J's are the class of yachts that battled for the America's Cup before the 12s got involved. So one could say this class is a kindred class to 12s. Only someone perdantic would discriminate here. Be that as it may , these boats are made in New Zealand and the people involved are keen to produce!

These CJ's as I call them are shorter, 48" long and are only 6 to 7 kgs in weight  and I think this CJ would make an IDEAL yacht to replace the yacht we just can't get.
