Two of our J109s have been enjoying fantastic conditions down in the west country as they take part in the annual Blind Sailing wee. Working with Coutts bank this is the second season that we have provided boats for this event and the J109s have proved to be very popular with the visually impaired sailors taking part.
Meanwhile our J122 Jolly Jellyfish has been made ready for this weekends Cowes , Dinard, St Malo race. We are looking forward to setting off later today with a full crew keen to gain experience of RORC racing. If you would like to join us for future off shore races please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss the packages that we have available.

The early start was more than made up for by the spectacle of the sun rising over the fleet as it made its way down the Western Solent. All of our guests enjoyed a fantastic days sailing with all of the crew members fully participating in the running of the boats. Of particular note was the performance of Jumping Jellyfish which came a creditable third in class and won the trophy for the first sailing school boat to finish.

The day was rounded off with a very welcome beer (or three!) and some interesting target practice involving some large catapults and water bombs!

Jolly Jellyfish hot on the heels of Ran at the start of Race 1 of the Warsash Spring Series (C) Eddy Mays

With the clocks gone forward and spring finally sprung, it is now the half-way stage of the Warsash Spring Series 2010.  Jolly Jellyfish, the J122 of Jellyfish Charters, lies in 2nd place overall in Class 1, having had some stiff competition from 1st place Artemis, a Grand Soleil 43 B.

The weather has shown all its extemes of mood during the series so far, with Jolly making the most of the fickle zephers to win handsomely on 21st march but Artemis got into her stride when the breeze came on during 14th and 28th March.

If the weather proves to be as capricious during the second half of the series as the first, a close finish seems almost certain…

The new website has been developed so that you can share some of the experiences of people that have already taken advantage of a trip with Jellyfish Charters and also so that you are able to see the sort of days that we can provide.

Our fleet is made up of J109’s, a 35ft racer-cruiser, which has the popular carbon fibre retractable bowsprit with an asymmetric spinnaker system. The accommodation is quite flexible too, with a 2-cabin interior layout which provides standing headroom. The J109 is designed with a very low centre of gravity, long waterline, and large sailplan which unusually makes for outstanding competitive racing and yet gives the stability for relaxed cruising when required. The J/109 is stable, easy to sail, and a proven performance boat. There is generous interior space and all the necessities for comfortable cruising.

Our fleet has also been expanded to include the J122 which is a 40ft alternative to the J109 and provides a bit more space overall.

We hope that you enjoy browsing through the website and that it inspires you to get in touch with us to find out what sailing with Jellyfish is all about.
