Compare And Contrast…: Check out this great picture of Mari Cha IV and the J-Boat Velsheda alongside one another. The J-Boats were the most formidable racing design of the 1930s and Mari Cha IV is without doubt the fastest monohull ever built. I guess yacht design has evolved just a bit, though I’d be more than happy to sail on either one…
