We raced on the J120 last year, the asymetrical kites are fun, they had one on the J33 we raced too.

My husband and his brothers bought the Islander 37 as a hull and deck. They cut in all the windows and hatches, put in the interior, pored the lead in the keel, put on the toe rail, etc. It was a big project! But the boat is solid glass, no core, so it is a very seaworthy boat and you don't have to worry about rot. It is a really nice cruising boat.
