... and thwarted destinies
by Jean-Pierre Kelbert
Big brother of the JPK 960, the JPK 110 was somewhat of a victim of its early performance.
Jacques Valer, however, had taken care of his copy: the boat, very well fitted out for cruising, had proved ultra-dominant during the 2005 winter training sessions.
The rest is not so funny because the IRC office, probably worried about this domination, imposed a penalty equivalent to 15 thousandths (1 minute per hour of sailing) which transformed this versatile winner into a boat that was too breezy, after a reduction in sail size to remain in its IRC 2 class.
This boat will mark a turning point for our shipyard: that of splitting our range of boats into two. A range of IRC racers, racing oriented, and a range of Fast Cruisers designed differently by Jacques and without any concession to the rules.
JPK 998
Initially conceived for the Tour de France à la Voile to replace the excellent Mumm 30, the choice "on paper" of the organisers for the M34 will have been a real deception for the yard.
Supported by the Brittany region, we invested in complete tooling and three prototypes to create the ideal support. Ultra lively, fast and versatile, the JPK 998 was quickly adopted by almost all the riders.
Politics, unfortunately, took precedence over all other considerations. The tragic history of the M34 will prove the stupidity of this choice.
The excellent hull of the 998 was then proposed in a lake version (light keel and maximum sail area) and in a dayboat version (heavier keel, teak deck and succinct layout). Finally, the victory in our class at the Bol d'Or 2016 on Lake Geneva against the Psaros 33 and other "machines" with canting keels will remain a great moment for me and a great reward for this magnificent boat.
JPK 40
A racing boat has to win immediately!
With an efficient hull but without a top class racer to exploit it, the JPK 40 will still finish 5th in the 2011 Jacques Vabre after leading for a long time.
The hull, later validated by Halvard Mabire with a 24 hour record, will unfortunately have been overtaken before it could impose itself.
