White-Star is a J-34 IOR sailing out of North Flathead Yacht Club on beautiful Flathead lake in Somers Montana.
It was a
great summer of racing in our little corner of heaven.
During the 2006 season, we did have some ups and downs with starter trouble. Why is
there a $%#@ engine on a sailboat anyway?
We are now, planning ahead, and getting geared up for 2007. It should be an exciting year with several new boats in A fleet, along with the usual line up of dastardly competitors. Where did those Stupid Stars come from?
We lost several key team members this winter when Chris bought a J/24 and joined the yacht club. Lose a team member but gain a club member, that's a good trade. We will have a lot great crew coming back in 2007, and we'll be looking for some new people this year. If your interested in giving it a try, go to the crew signup page or send us an e-mail and let us know.
White-Star always gets a lot of
comments from everyone that sees her.
Some people think that she looks fast, while others just think she is pretty. In our concerted opinion, she's both. The J/34 is without a doubt the best looking boat ever to come from JBoats .
If you own a J/34 or know some one that does, please drop us a e-mail we would love to hear from you! We have added a new page under the boat menu called Other J 34 Owners, where we are keeping a list of the J 34 Owners that we know about, along with links to their sites, and pictures of their boats. I would like to eventually complete the list will all the owners and add perhaps add a tips section, maintenance issues, and whatever else might be fun or helpful. There are only 25 of these boats out there, but it might be fun to have a J 34 Class association! Let me know what you think. I'll need something to do over the winter while White-Star rests.
North Flathead Yacht Club completed the new docks last year and is an amazing place to see now. We have water and power to the slips, along with great new environmentally friendly lighting. The new breakwater works superb, even in the worst storms the boats ride comfortably in their slips.
