There has been tremendous support for J Boats from the fleets, owners and admirers around the Great Lakes. In 2017, the first annual J/Fest was hosted by ABYC and was fantastic. With a desire to build on the success, National Yacht Club could not be more excited to invite all J Boat owners to participate in what promises to be fierce one-design and PHRF competition and just as exciting shore parties.
