Dragboats of the 1960s Photo Archive
The mavericks dared to mix unleashed speed-on-the-water

were there; only they could have created this riveting history
on the fastest, most exciting and dangerous era in water sports.

J/Boats: Sailing to Success
In 1975 Rod Johnstone finally decided to build the boat he’d

J/Boats’ success, as inspiring as it is unlikely, unfolds for the
first time in this illustrated history, which tells how Rod and his
brother Bob turned one homebuilt boat and a $20,000
investment into the company that dominates the
performance-oriented sailboat market today.
