Updated

JOKER (AUT 109) is a J/109 designed by Rod Johnstone and built by J/Boats. She has been racing since 2025. She sails with a smaller sail plan and a shallower keel than most J/109s. Against a typical J/109 she is slower upwind in light air and on a beam reach.

How JOKER compares with a typical J/109

Her main 2026 measurements against the middle of the fleet: one boat per sail number, the latest full-crew configuration with spinnaker, J/109s measured since 2025.

Above the line she is quicker than a typical J/109; below, slower. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.

True wind
Upwind-0.12 kn
Beam reach-0.06 kn
Broad reach+0.00 kn
Downwind-0.02 kn

Full width is 0.4 kn either way.

At 10 knots she gives away time to a typical J/109 on the upwind.
