J/109 is a 35 ′ 2 ″ / 10.7 m monohull sailboat designed by Rod Johnstone and built by J Boats starting in 2004.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shoal draft version: 5.75’/1.75m. Volvo D1-30 diesel offered later.

J109 SPEED GUIDE

Who sails a j109.

The J109 powers up quickly in light air, so it’s important to sail class regattas near max crew weight.

What’s involved in crewing?

What are three top tips for j109 speed.

• Spend time in the boat with a committed core crew. Practice!
• Learn proper sail trim and rig tune. It’s critical to keep the boat on its lines and at top speed. Having the crew weight and sails properly balanced wins races.
• Prep the hull and rig, clean the bottom, and save your best sails for big events.

What should buyers know when choosing a J109?

How many sails are required, j109 tuning.

Jib spreader marks help repeat trim settings.

What are the keys to rig set-up?

Jib sheet inhauler positions should be marked on the deck for repeatability.

What other control systems are important on the J109?

J109 upwind sailing, how much heel is fast on a j109.

Sailing flat is fast, but maintaining a consistent angle of heel and minimizing rudder movement are the top priorities.

Upwind, where does the crew sit?

A soft shackle easily attaches jib sheets to the clew, allowing sheets and inhaulers to stay rigged during sail changes.

How do you trim the J109 jib upwind?

In 8-15 knots TWS, the jib is inhauled until the clew is inside the handrail. Adjust the inhaulers for different wind conditions. In light to medium (8-15 knots TWS), the jib clew should be inhauled until it’s inside the metal handrail. As the wind increases, ease the clew so it trims outside the rail. In very light air , sail with the clew outside the rail as well.

How do you trim the J109 main upwind?

Because the leech profile is so vertical, even a small change in jib lead location will make a big difference to the sail’s power.

How do you shift gears upwind?

Who says what when sailing upwind.

Adjusting leech twist on both sails is crucial to balancing height and speed.

J109 Downwind Sailing

Downwind, where are j109 crew located, how do you trim the spinnaker downwind.

When the tack moves to leeward of vertical, pull on tack line and sail higher angles.

How do you shift gears downwind?

When sailing deep, ease the tack line off up to three feet for maximum projection and rotation.

J109 Boathandling

What are your top tips to starting well in a j109, what are the keys to tacking a j109 well, what are the keys to jibing a j109 well.

After a jibe, cross quickly to the high side to flatten the boat and help it accelerate. In light-air jibes, don’t turn the boat too fast and jibe the spinnaker first. Then the mainsail trimmer grabs all parts of mainsheet and “pops” the main through to keep the upper leech from hanging up on the backstay. In heavy air, get the main across as quickly as possible, while the boat is at full speed. Otherwise you may have to turn the boat too far, which may lead to a round up as you finish the jibe. Easing the vang a little bit will help.

How do you make a fast spinnaker set?

What are the keys to a good spinnaker takedown on the j109, what are the most common takedown mistakes, how do you recover from a broach, what j109 best practices do you recommend.

• Set daily objectives and evaluate after sailing, so you can get better every day.
• Identify crew responsibilities.
• Mark everything so you can duplicate settings, especially jib leads and sheets.
• Practice tacking and jibing; choreograph movements so each crewmember knows what to do.
• Document rig tune and settings.

What’s the coolest thing about the J109 class?
