 The J/35 Breakaway has been updated and optimized for PHRF and short-handed racing- Added a new mast in 2012, retractable carbon sprit and asymmetrical spinnakers in 2018. Breakaway has been a regular contender in the NE Solo Twin race, the Ida Lewis Distance Race, and has sailed the Bermuda 1-2 in 2017.

It is probably safe to say that no racer-cruiser in the annals of fiberglass sailboat production elevated the self-esteem of sailors as dramatically as the J/35. When it was introduced in the spring of 1983, it was the closest thing ever seen to instant gratification in an offshore handicap racer and one-design. If it is an exaggeration to say that new owners stepped aboard, raised the sails and began winning races, it is a small one.

What made the J/35's dazzling performance so accessible to sailors of varying experience and ability? Primarily it was its pure hull form, a sweet easily driven shape free of the rating rule-induced exaggerations that made other handicap racers of the 1980's cranky and difficult to sail. With its lightweight and long sailing length, big but uncomplicated rig and sensible deck layout, the J/35 was graced with a responsive yet forgiving nature over a wide range of conditions.
