JOD 35
Jeanneau · Daniel Andrieu · 1991
Updated
The JOD 35 is a 10.63 m semi-displacement racing yacht designed by Daniel Andrieu and built by Jeanneau, first launched in 1991. It races in Class C. Across the measured fleet it goes better than its own numbers promise, ahead of 15% of the designs it races against. It comes alive as the breeze builds, and gives time away in the light.
Goes better than its own measurements promise, and does it better than 15% of the boats it races against.
135th of 159 in its class.
This design has been found in real race results — 192 starts across 42 events — not only in measurement files.

A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Sharper round the buoys. Short courses reward acceleration and manoeuvring, and that is where this design makes its money.

Where it wins and where it pays
Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.
It needs pressure to show what it can do. Give it a fresh day and long legs and it delivers more than it promised; in a drifter it is working uphill.
Where it gains
Its best ground is cracked off when it blows, where it does more than its size and sail area promise, and by a margin worth having. It holds that advantage on a reach as well, so the gain is not down to one leg of the course.
Where it pays
It falls short on the run when the breeze is soft, giving away time it never gets back.
Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.8 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the upwind.

How they are set up
The range each sail spans across the fleet.
Nearly all carry a folding propeller. Crew weight is declared around 530 kg.
Rigging
JOD 35 rig and sail dimensions
A JOD 35 carries 13.10 m of mainsail hoist on a 5.23 m boom, a forestay 12.05 m above the deck and a 4.10 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 29 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 55 to 78 m² depending on bowsprit and set-up. Before ordering a sail, read the figure on your own measurement record rather than the typical one for the design.
