I went sailing on a J-80 with Simon yesterday; it was fantastic. We raced Greg and Pete. These are fabulous boats. When the wind gets up, which it did, they really motor, and have a crazy angle of lean - getting the rail right into the water, which feels somewhat precarious to someone who usually sails a dinghy - apparently you cant flip them though - which is a good thing, because they are quite big small boats. Never thought I'd find a sailing boat outside a windsurfer thrilling - but it really was.
