List the characteristics you want in a sportboat–in addition to speed–and thats what Swarbrick Yachts promises with the JS 9000: lifting keel for trailering, easy to singlehand or race with a crew of three or four, self-tacking non-overlapping jib, asymmetric chute tacked to the bow, no backstay, and good stability. Add to that the pedigree of designer John Swarbrick, the brains behind the 12-Meters Kookaburra I and II and Chris Dicksons Whitbread 60 Tokio, and its easy to get excited about a $26,500 speedster that comes fully rigged with Spectra running rigging, die-form standing rigging, aluminum mast and boom, and Dacron mainsail and jib.
The boat is built to European CE standards with gelcoat over vacuum-infused vinylester resin and glass skins surrounding a Herex H80 (PVC foam) core for both the hull and deck. The keel is a galvanized-steel strut with lead bulb all encapsulated in fiberglass. The boat doesnt have a PHRF rating yet, but its IRC rating (1.050) puts it right behind Mumm 30s and J/92s.
Consistent with the builders intention of creating a worldwide one-design class; 16 boats are already on order in Europe and the North American distributor, Sam Birger, hopes to be able to bring four into Newport, R.I., this summer. The boats price, subject to exchange rate, excludes spinnaker and trailer.

That IS a "Gentleman's Sailboat". Finally, the sail people are getting it right. It looks proportioned for a human being. And I love 2 seat "Gentleman's Race Boats". I would try her in a heartbeat.

Js 9000 Great boat! But I wonder what a boat like her would do with 40% less ballast and a canting keel- or some other form of movable ballast? Would she still be a Gentlemans Sailboat" ? Huh?

Fact is Bob, that you are completely right - however, this is a fun boat. Nothing serious, no straing attached, a daysailor, ans any water that is deeper than the 7 or 8 feet, can host this boat.There are more people offering funsailors for a much higher price. If you ask me, "shall we go to England?" - I would say "why not?" ( a 110 NM from Dutch shore to e.g. Southwold). So, I am not that pessimistic. We know three of a kind ( I don't play poker, sometimes maybe) of sailors. 1) the funsailors (society sailors) - they don't take anything serious; they complain about the quick abrasion of their Dubarry's; 2) the racers - total different environment - rules, ratings, protests, gossip; 3) the serious yachtsmen - for them, sailing is more than a lifestyle rather than a hobby. I know already quite a few in this forum who are the real addicts, who are - or could be - the generation populating our future waterworld. Bob, I f I have a chance, and I would like to thank you for the kind words you have said in another thread/post, again, if I have a chance you will be very welcome on my boat and I am pretty sure that you will finally belong to the last category as so many of the Forum - whether or not registered. The JS9000 might be just a station in between the serious beginner, later on becoming a serious engaged admirer of yachting. The bad things of the sea, you will forget reasonably quickly, but remember that beautiful morning when you rounded Cabo São Vicente, sailing along the green and glass-clear sea along the Algarve. Sailing Bob, is living in another world, another planet.
3 posts and it modified so much, no one would reconize it ever again.
That's not too bad, it happens all the time....

Reminds me of Francis Chichester's Gypsy Moth IV: narrow beam, plum bow/sharp forefoot. Developed a terrible lee helm when heeled.
It is a well established fact that Sir Francis did not have a good word for the Illingworth/Camper & Nicholson exercise. However, he made it, received his knighthood and what can you say more? The JS 9000, as one claims, sails very neutral on the helm - of course this is 2nd or 3rd hand testimony, I have it from the corresponding sites, ok, you have to find out the truth hen you can sail her yourself. For the moment, as I see it, it's a fun boat - unless somebody makes something more out of this design.

I have to agree with Sharpii on the keel being a hassel for trailer types. A break 18 " down should be doable once the loading at that point is known from the designer. Otherwise, the one time emperical overdesign is in order. A " lap " cutting, or a tongue and groove of robust dimensions. About 12" long and filling any center hollows with heavy cloth and Epoxy. Thru bolted with 3 - 3/4" bolts should preserve all the handling and safety originaly designed in. That would allow removal or a jump over the side with a lifting rope. The keel could then be lowered on the trailer to prevent chafing the hull finish. Self locking nuts and spares are obvious. Obviously, 1 thru bolt at the top would ALWAYS be left in , tight or loose.

I was not able to sail it very well downwind alone, but was the fastest boat upwind, faster than e.g. a Bavaria 35 Match. 15-20 knots wind. No 2 home, 3 on corrected. The boat is a brilliant concept and an elegant design, easily handed by two, even in full race mode (even though you really need one extra to keep the ropes tidy).
My boat a JS 9000 GBR 9000T is in South Africa she was built in 2004 in Australia. She has a mk1 mast with backstay as she was a UK boat previously sailed by Peter Barton (now a moth sailor). The second JS9000 in SA is SIN700 built by admiralty has a mk2 mast and no backstay. J.
Thread starter. #4. I race against a lot of the top J-105s in the country and I will tell you one thing is for sure. The JS 9000 will sail away from a 105 like it is going backwards. We rutinely beat up on them in a Junneau sunfast 36 and the 9000 sails about 20 seconds per mile faster.

The JS9000 IS ALL those things you said. Having sailed on one several times, one begins to appreciate its unique characteristics. For this 30'r, DH is the best crew size. There are really only two positions, helm, and trimmer, that's it.
