Producer - Director Don Ramey Logan shot and produced this short video for the Wikipedia Foundation and it serves as a example to all of the grandeur of these majestic yachts. The first-ever J Class World Championship pitted six of the finest historic super yachts against each other Names like Ranger, Lionheart, Velsheda, and Topaz harken back to the golden age of sailing, when financial magnates like Harold Vanderbilt and industrialists like Sir Thomas Sopwith skippered their own resplendent J-Class yachts through the 1930s in what was arguably the heyday of America's Cup racing. When World War II started, the golden age of sailing died. J Class World Championship Repeats History The first-ever J Class World Championship pitted six of the finest historic super yachts against each other. With their majestic sails billowed, six powerful J-Class sailing yachts glide past the manicured lawns of the New York Yacht Club summer clubhouse in Newport, RI. Jockeying for position, the long, elegant yachts are soon in full-blown racing mode, crews of 25 scrambling aboard 140-foot-long decks as they trim the monster mainsails or giant spinnakers in synch with the helmsman turning the wheel, often racing just feet from their competitors. Names like Ranger, Lionheart, Velsheda, and Topaz harken back to the golden age of sailing, when financial magnates like Harold Vanderbilt and industrialists like Sir Thomas Sopwith skippered their own resplendent J-Class yachts through the 1930s in what was arguably the heyday of America's Cup racing. When World War II started, the golden age of sailing died. The latest generation of J-Class yachts are either relatively close replicas, or in one or two cases, the steel hulls of the original J-Class designs. The class is unique to the sailing world partly because it's an exclusive club, with only nine active J-Class yachts and only six racers, but also because the yachts are built to J-Class guidelines from the 1930s. The sailing super yachts have the same beautiful lines and sail plans as their great-grandfathers, but these days they have modern sails and electronics, different ballast ratios, and space-age build materials. History repeated itself last week as Lionheart, a direct descendant of Ranger, the 1937 America's Cup winner, won the first-ever J Class World Championship with the same kind of nautical beauty and sailing finesse that Ranger displayed some 80 years earlier. Producer and Director Don Ramey Logan takes you up front and personal with these sailing giants. The video is located on the official class Wikipedia page.
- In 1947, the founding members of the Newport Ocean Sailing Association (NOSA) got this crazy idea about getting a bunch of people together to promote ocean sailing and the development of racing from Newport Beach. Members called the first race the Governor's Cup and 117 boats paid $22.50 to register for that just-for-fun race April 23, 1948. One year, the Governor actually showed up to hand out the trophy. At the time, the fastest and most modern sailboats had wooden hulls and flew natural-fiber sails. You could buy a home in Orange County for $8,000 or a gallon of gas for 16 cents. Today, the race offers a history of innovation and the rise of technology in sailing but there's still an ongoing narrative of mankind's quest to pit sailboats against fellow competitors and Mother Nature in the quest to break records or knock off an item on one's bucket list.
