JS 9000, the Easy Speedster

js 9000 review

My first encounter with the JS 9000 happened on terra firma. While staring up at its ridiculously narrow canoe body, its needle nose, its plumb bow, and thin appendages that seemed to stretch into eternity, I realized an adolescent dream had come true: I was standing in front of the ultimate “baaad-ass” boat. And this term is not to be taken lightly. It’s the highest decoration bestowed upon cool, unusual, mean, and fast-moving objects. The boat comes to U.S. shores from Down Under, and is designed by John Swarbrick, member of an established boat-building family in Western Australia. Swarbrick apprenticed under Alan Payne, worked on Chris Dickson’s Whitbread 60 Tokio, and for Team New Zealand’s recent AC campaign. Earlier this year, Swarbrick had an injunction upheld against Boldgold Investments, an unauthorized builder of the JS 9000. It isn’t easy to copyright a boat design, but the judge considered “the original handcrafted model of the yacht, and the yacht itself … works of artistic craftsmanship.” If nothing else, the incident is proof that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Given Swarbrick’s pedigree, it’s not exactly surprising the JS 9000 looks a bit like an ACC boat, drawing its performance from a light, narrow hull with deep appendages and a massive bulb at the business end of the keel. It’s a low-drag machine with little form stability and absolutely no intention-or necessity-to get on a plane. Two people in the huge cockpit may get lonely, but two pairs of hands is all this boat needs. The self-tending jib and a trim pod on the centerline in the forward half of the cockpit keep the throttles within the crew’s reach. There are no hiking straps or trapeze wires because what’s the point of hiking when the boat heels more than 30 degrees and the 1,500-pound keel bulb projects much farther to windward than any butt ever could? This gives the driver leisure to play with traveler and sheet to adjust the 200-square-foot square-top main. A look down below reveals basic home cooking and a lot of emptiness. It will take a bit of imagination and Houdini skills to find a place for the Porta-Potty and a pipe berth, but it isn’t impossible. The laminate is hand-laid fiberglass mat vacuum, infused with vinylester resin, over Herex core. Structural bulkheads are made from molded composite sandwich and the transverse chainplates are stainless-steel plates bolted to the hull-deck knee. The original high-aspect ratio rudder has been tweaked for better balance and more lift. It’s attached to a 32-mm shaft made of marine-grade stainless steel. The composite keel case has to deal with impressive loads generated by the lead bulb. Strut and ballast are encapsulated in fiberglass. On a boat that draws close to 7 feet like the JS 9000, a lifting keel should be standard, not just an option. Motor? What motor? This thing is so slippery, a sea bass could push it. But if you insist, either stern or side-mount motor brackets are available. Anything less than an optional carbon stick on this runnerless rig doesn’t make sense. Early shrimping experiments and breakage motivated sparmaker Composite Spars and Tubes to make modifications. The top of the tube remains flexible to allow the main to twist, but the bottom half now has more wall thickness. The boom is aluminum. The JS 9000 is so skinny that the asymmetric kites can be flown directly off the bow-no bowsprit required. After shoving off from the dock in Alameda, Calif., in a mild 10-knot breeze it became clear that a keelboater’s sense of speed and distance gets radically modified and you must be comfortable on an incline. Holding fast and bracing one’s feet is key for first-timers, even in a light to moderate breeze. Once the crew sorts through the colored control lines, trimming is easy over the center winch. Here, a two-speed model would be a huge improvement. A source of migraine were the small Spinlock rope clutches, which seemed to have a mind of their own, closing but not biting-a problem possibly due to either the hardware or line being improperly specced. The control pod is cramped, so whatever alternative there is, it must be narrow. The Spinlock clutches for the halyards were up to the job. The test boat, one of the first in the States, had a hodgepodge of hardware installed, which the importer promised to change. Even with the self-tending jib there’s plenty of stuff to play with, e.g. halyard tension, sheeting angle, or main downhaul, and the boat dutifully responds to the changes. The rudder is pleasantly light and commands the boat with precision-as long as there’s flow on the thin foils. In other words: don’t stall it. The loose-footed main needed a bit of tweaking, but could be coaxed into decent shape, even though it clearly was cut for a higher breeze range. Sailing to weather, the plumb bow digs up a fountain-a.k.a. the “reverse waterfall” because the water jumps straight up into the headsail. Otherwise, the boat sails dry, putting the crew high above the water and far back so that a dose of spray on the nose is rare. Off the breeze, the jib is furled before the kite emerges from the companionway. Even with the 300-square foot chicken chute it moved well, easily outrunning a nearby RC 27 trimaran. On all angles of sail the Windex points forward, a function of the apparent wind generated by the boat’s swift movement through the water. “In light air the boat is deadly, not at all sticky like comparable sportboats with a wide stern that need planing speeds,” says Larry Anderson, a former beach cat sailor, who found a new calling as a JS 9000 jockey. “I’m intrigued by the design, the performance, and the sailing characteristics.” He notes that exorbitant pointing angles are not necessary, “because her speed results in stellar VMG, anyway.” Anderson, although not a hard-core racer, cleaned up in his PHRF class ( www.jsyachtsusa.com

  • Description

Seller's Description

ISO either model, retractable keel, Boat must be in Canada or US.

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)

Self tacking furling jib. Asymmetric spinnaker flown from the fixed bowsprit. Spinnaker Area: 612 sq.ft./53 m2

44m Vitters new build fast cruising sloop Project Magic for sale

The 44.3-metre Vitters fast cruising sloop Project Magic is newly listed with Eleonora Pitasso and Jamie Small of Burgess .

The Reichel Pugh design is currently under construction in aluminium at the Dutch yard, with launch scheduled for early 2025. "Interior superstructures" are by Design Unlimited in collaboration with Pieter Laureys. 

The brokers pointed out that she "combines a contemporary interior aesthetic with dynamic, modern exterior lines". One highlight is the superstructure and its extensive glazing which provides panoramic views and a feeling of space.

Accommodation is for 10 guests across five cabins including a full-beam spacious owner's suite aft that has an office. Two guest cabins are also located aft of the engine room, while another guest plus a children's bunk cabin are positioned forward. There are quarters for a crew of seven.

Retractable glass doors and oversized glazing encourages a connection with the outdoors. The saloon includes a formal dining space opposite comfortable seating. The coachroof extends over the recessed cockpit, offering security for guests while lounging or dining.

Wide central steps lead up to the twin helms, cantilevered from the bulwarks, as well as a more exposed seating area around a pair of tables on the teak deck. Aft of the inviting, beamy, teak-laid aft deck, the transom hatch opens to form a beach club.

The 304GT Lloyd's-classed yacht for sale features a number of innovations developed by Vitters, including retractable V-bollards for sleek aesthetics on deck as well as a submarine anchor system that "ensures a clean and functional bow and foredeck" as well as keeping the weight away from the bow.

Under her single 591hp diesel engine, Project Magic has a cruising speed of nine knots, range of 3,000 nautical miles and top speed of 12 knots.

Project Magic 's asking price is on application.
