Aug 18, 2005 · Yesterday Carol and I took the JY15 out for a sail in the light air of the morning.\u000BWe were pleased at the ease of rigging, and set out with both sails up.\u000BOur points of reference were the H216 which we once owned, and the WW Potter 19 which we have up for sale in Orlando\u000BThe JY moves in breeze...

Feb 14, 2011 · It goes through step by step what you need and how to apply. Also on the website is how to add a windex to the top of your mast. It does this for a JY 15 however these can both easily be applied to the JY 14. The material is called SeaDeck and I think it is one of the best additions to make to the boat. I love it.

Jun 26, 2018 · The leading cause as told was the manufacturer changing the formulation of the plastic sheets without authorization by JY or Hunter. When that happened, those boats being affected did correspond to the lots of material wherein the formulation had been changed without authorization. Both JY and Hunter had filed legal action.

Aug 22, 2017 · The biggest issue is when the manufacturers changed forumualtion of the ACP materials without any notice to JY and later Hunter (Hunter bought out JY and later moved the company to Florida to a controlled environment) which caused cracking. When that happened, cracks could be seen, many of the boats being repairable.

Jun 26, 2018 · Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new boat. Your process looks good to me. As for dremeling the crack, you should do this step to open the track a bit to make a larger surface for the Plexus to bond to.

Jun 3, 2003 · size matters The sail area varies from boat to boat but is a 100% jib just passes before the mast on a tack, then a #1 headsail would be about 150% area, #2 is about 135%, #3 is 100 to 110% of jib, #4 is about 80% and #5 is small, 35% or so.

Apr 4, 2011 · Everyone is probably scared to comment. But, I have seen cracking in those boats that have that construction method. I also saw a 216 with a Hobie float atop the mast. Does that mean it is tender? J Boats first had their JY line of daysailors built by the same method and they had terrible cracking problems.

Apr 25, 2003 · My 235 is a 1988 wing keel version. (We have a fin keel 235 on a trailer but she hasn't been put in yet - it would be a great tuning guide!) Our race fleet is a mixed bag: S2-7.9, SanJuan 34, several SanJuan 24's, C&C Mega-30, Cat 27's, Helms 27, JY-15's, Thistles. Portsmouth numbers from 79 to 96!

Jul 23, 2000 · Happy Birthday, Megan! First off, the Hunter 90, Hunter 140, and JY15 are all made out of a material that is supposed to be 8 times more durable than fiberglass. This is a "plus" to me. I sail a Hunter 140, although mine was made by JY Sailboats.

May 26, 2020 · Dyer Dhows are a good platform too. They are easily handled. But, it's a little small for two and a bit too heavy to use as a tender. Puffer looks pretty good but I can't recall ever seeing one on the water. I don't know the minifish. JY 14 are fun to sail and can work for two people but I don't think you could call them "Car top."
