AH, friends of ours have a J120, what a fun racer! We have crewed on it a few times in the past... Deb had lots of fun with the asymetrical spinnaker... something new to us...

and WOW, and Islander 37! rare boat, we also have friends who have one, it's really old and they are very rare anywhere but on the West Coast...
The only other one I know of is a wreck at a dock near Mystic Seaport in Ct... it's in really bad shape!

I know that boat well, as I sailed on it for years b4 we got the Tartan, and YES, it's a lead sled!
Definately not a racer! but an excellent cruiser! and a great performer in big seas!
I solo'd it once from LI to Nantucket, where I picked up my friend & his two brothers for the trip back...
I made a two day trip out with an overnight on Block Island...
second day was in 20 knots, trailing seas (thank God), with a stinging hangover! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/hammer.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
Block Island in the 80's was way too much fun for a single 30 yr. old...
