History of this model :
Commissioned in 1933, Franck Murdock was responsible for a number of innovations in sailboat equipment, such as instruments for measuring wind speed and direction.
This J-Class was equipped with an incredible array of cutting-edge technical gadgets.
Architecturally, the design was classic and even conventional, but it made for a very competitive boat.
Never before had the English come so close to retaking the America's Cup in 1934, despite being faster and more technically advanced than their American rival Harold Vanderbilt's Rainbow.
The English yacht won the first 2 races. A collision occurred in the third race.
Charles Edouard Nicholson design. J-Class built for Sir T.O.M. Sopwith and launched in 1934 for the America's Cup.
