With the improvement of sailboat design, it has now an increased speed. As a matter of fact, it has been easy cruise or race with less number of a crew member. The US Sailboat Show to be held in Annapolis in the month of October saw 3 main builders showed some designs which are changing the market and each of the segment which offers short-handed sailing.

No boats in the show represent obvious or evolutionary steps since each and every one of them anticipates the improvement of the segment. However, all of them are important.This isn’t a coincidence that the three boats have a strong connection to the shorthanded racing in France.

The president of the boats based in Rhode Island, Jeff Johnstone stated that a few years ago they saw that short-handed distance races such as the Three Bridge Fiasco of San Francisco.Again, the classic races such as the Fast net, the Chicago-Mac, and Newport Bermuda had been keeping people associated with the sport.

The two races point to a fast boat which people will be able to sail with a lesser number of crew members. At the Annapolis show last year, J/Boats showcased the J/121 boats, with easy to handle roller head sails and also tanks that are water ballast assist which carries 850 pounds on every side for taking the place of 4 people that rides the rail.

After a year, hull number 5had been put on display and 5 more had been ordered. All new owners made a bucket list that contained the Caribbean 600, the Middle Sea Race, the Transpac, and Chicago Mac. 4 boats have sailed last June from Newport Bermuda that comprises of the class winners.The Beneteau displayed had 3 black boats.
