history
The dinghy was designed in 1909 by the German Sailing Association as a national dinghy . The DSVb. responded to the rapid growth of small sailing ships. The boat was intended as a cheap training boat. About 300 national dinghies had been built by 1915 . The character of the training boat soon disappeared, because the sailors developed fast racers to win regattas.
In 1916 the building regulations were adapted: weight and price limits were no longer applicable, the boats could be planked with woods other than oak. You were now to build karwel. The J (pronounced I) was introduced as a sailing symbol in 1919 . The dinghies weigh around 400 kg with a length of about 6 m and are rigged with a real sail area of over 30 m². Spinnaker and backstays are part of the equipment. The 22 m² racing dinghy is a team boat that challenges all three sailors equally. The dinghies are very fast and start planing easily. Until 1945 the inland dinghy was considered the most demanding Central European dinghy class.
The 22 m² racing dinghy was built in:
- Germany
- Austria
- Switzerland
- Hungary
- Italy
- Yugoslavia
Around 600 boats were built. The J-dinghy class was the first dinghy class in which a European championship was held from 1933.
In 1950 the J-dinghy became the DSV age group. J-dinghies regatted in Austria and southern Germany until the 1960s.
Around 100 J-dinghies still exist today, including many from the 1920s, and there are two new buildings.
Class association
The J-dinghy association has existed since 1981 with a focus on Constance on Lake Constance. In 1994 the association was incorporated into the Internationale-J-Jollenvereinigung 22-m²-Rennjollen e. V. passed over. The aim of the association is the preservation and restoration of the old dinghies and regatta sailing.
