4th J-Class Replica to be Built
The J-Class Association will soon make an announcement to the press that a fourth replica is to be built. Details are scant at present, but a contract has been signed between an owner and a shipyard for the build of the yacht. She will join two other replicas in build at the moment - of Endeavour II and of a Ranger variant - as well as a replica of the original Ranger built in 2002. With the three original Js that are still sailing - Shamrock V, Velsheda and Endeavour - the total class will increase in number from four to seven. More news on development within the J Class will follow in May’s issue of Classic Boat. — Steffan Meyric Hughes, Classic Boat, www.classicboat.co.uk/auto/newsdesk/20080225161442cbnews.html
