J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Events and Scheduling Newport International Boat Show 16-19 Sept 2010

A nice touch in the galley is the addition of sliding drawers with locking latches. Here is a view of one drawer open underneath an Origo alcohol stove. Al said that some people prefer propane, and others alcohol, so they offer either option.


Unlike the J/30, the J/111 Nav station has a bench that you can sit at that faces forward. All of the instrument and power panel breakers are located on the stbd side outboard of the Nav station. It appears that there is ample room at the panel to mount whatever instruments and communications gear you want. The first J/111 was equipped with a stereo to keep the racing crew energized with tunes!
