Dear Sirs The 1930s was an era of great engineering design and development. In aviation, now famous planes such as the Boeing Clipper, Flying Fortress, Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire were all designed. Amelia Earhart flew solo across the Atlantic. Scientists split the atom. It was the era of some of the greatest class car designs from Cadillac and Rolls Royce. The 1930s were undoubtedly the the age of the ocean liner. In 1930 the steam train 'Mallard' achieved 126 mph, unbroken even today. In 1931 the Empire State Building became the tallest building in the world, the Hoover Dam and Golden Gate Bridge were built. And in yachting it was arguably the era of the greatest designs, the beautiful J Class yachts. They were at the leading edge of technical development and made just for racing, for winning the "Americas Cup". Ten yachts were built between 1930 and 1937. Fortunately three survived and since 2000, the J Class fleet has steadily been reborn. We are now pleased to announce our plans for a J Class yachting event in 2012, in the attached press release. All updates to the programme will be posted to the official website.
