Saw three interesting boats at the NE boatshow are great for racers or cruiser/racers.  Also there were only 10 or so booths that  were appealing for sailors, less if you weren’t interested in new sails.  The photo above is a J-100 which obviously has been on the racing scene for a while but is still cool.  The rating in PHRF is favorable and the boat is super quick and comfortable.  This boat has lifelines though which isn’t standard and I prefer the boat without.
