⛵El Ocaso - 2023 winning boat returns!⛵

Last year’s overall winning boat, Chris Body’s J/122 El Ocaso (GBR), is back but chartered to Tony & Sally Mack as McFly on El Ocaso. Team McFly have chartered boats for years in the Caribbean, but race together in the UK on the J/111 McFly and are reigning National Champions.

“Now we are looking forward to sailing in warm weather,” commented driver Tony Mack. “Jeremy Smart of North Sails is our tactician, while the crew are made up of a group of very good friends from the UK, Ireland and the USA. Racing at Antigua Sailing Week gets the team together for excellent racing, something that training at home cannot come close to providing.”

Today’s Flashback Friday takes us to France. Pictured is one of the first J/99s being pulled from the mold. The J/99 is Jeff Johnstone’s current favorite J/Boat because of the versatility. He says “there is no limit to what you can do with it. It’s just pure sailing” The J/99 has quickly become one of the most popular boats in our line with production on the rise in France. With the ‘24 sailing season right around the corner, it’s not too late to join the ever growing fleet! Email us at [email protected] to connect with your local dealer!

Rumors that Hooper's Yachts is going out of business is untrue. We have the real estate up for sale, but will continue to be J/Boat dealers and sell used sail and powerboats. If new owners take over the property, storage will still be available for existing and new customers. Boats listed for sale on the property will still be represented as will boats we have for sale anywhere. If the property does not sell, we will continue on as usual offering all that we have in nearly 40 years of business.
