The J/35 is inducted into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame ceremonies in Atlantic City.

The J/125 wins "Sportboat of the Year" from Sailing World.

The J/120 J-BIRD clean sweeps the Puerta-Vallarta race with 1st to finish, 1st in class and 1st overall- only the 3rd boat in history to do so (the other two were 70' sleds).

J/22s are featured in the Santa-Maria Cup (women's match racing) in Annapolis, MD and for the ISAF Women's Match Racing Worlds. J/30 and J/35 classes combine efforts to run their 20th and 15th North American Championships in Annapolis.

The largest keelboat one-design class ever is hosted by Storm Trysail Club's Block Island Race Week- 25 J/105s sail one design at Block Island. Over 275 J/105s now sailing in 15 fleets worldwide.

For the time since 1985, the ROLEX International Women's Keelboat Championships return to Newport, Rhode Island to be raced in J/24s. (for more info- see Rolex site- http://www.rikwc.com).

Finally, the J/46 performance-cruising yacht is launched (see pictures below).
