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

1960s Photo Archive is a team effort by many of those who
were there; only they could have created this riveting history
on the fastest, most exciting and dangerous era in water sports.

JBoats: Sailing to Success
In 1975 Rod Johnstone finally decided to build the boat
he’d been planning since completing design
correspondence school 10 years earlier. Thirty years
later, the J/24, the boat based on that first garage-built
vessel is the most popular recreational offshore keelboat
in the world. The story of 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.

The boat and the trailer were both in rough shape when they
were purchased, but we were able to start sailing immediately.
It became obvious that it needed major repairs to preserve
the boat and prevent further decay. Here you can see
pictures of the restoration process performed on the boat as
well as modifications to the boat including the addition of a 5
hp outboard motor.
