J Class
Dykstra & Partners have gained over 20 years of J-Class Yachts experience and where responsible for the rebuilds of the J-Class Yachts: Shamrock V, Velsheda, Endeavour, refit of Ranger and the new build Hanuman (Endeavour II project) and Rainbow.
To keep the J-Class fleet and races alive and to encourage new build yachts to enter the field, new JCA maximum performance rules have been developed, including allowing aluminum as building material. The new rule is a VPP (Velocity Prediction Program) based rating system which puts limits to the performance. This new rule has been developed by the Dykstra & Partners office and the Wolfson Unit in Southampton. The aim of the JCA, the Dykstra team and the rule is to bring fair & close racing to the fleet and to give all designs a chance of winning (on a handicap based system). Over the years the Dykstra team gained an enormous amount of hands-on information by racing on all the J Class Yachts in the current fleet.
