There has been a revival of the J class over the past few years and this year is the first time to incorporate a J Class regatta into The Superyacht Cup Palma. Hoek Design have been very involved with the J's come back and are currently working on four different J Class yachts; Lionheart J H1 , the J class yacht J8 , presently under construction at Holland Jachtbouw and the J class yacht project "Svea " that is presently in design stage, as well as design elements for Enterprise which is currently on-hold.  

 The J Class Association which represents the owners' interests requested an extra day racing and a fleet start for the four boats; Velsheda, Ranger, Rainbow and Lionheart . The J's will therefore race on 19 th , 20 th , 21 st and 22 nd June whereas the rest of the fleet will race the traditional 3-day regatta, 20 th , 21 st and 22 nd June. They are sure to be a spectacular sight and add a new dimension to this popular superyacht regatta. http://www.jclassyachts.com/
