Worth knowing
JJ Boats Ltd; cover, cost and conditions
JJ Boats is a small British dinghy builder based in Norfolk. The business is the appointed builder of the Javelin and keeps masts and booms for the class in stock. Alongside that it builds wooden dinghies for a number of classes, with Enterprise, Scorpion, Solo and the Norfolk Punt at the top of the list, and it makes wooden foils for many dinghy classes. It has been building Enterprises since 1998 and repairs hulls in both wood and glass fibre. A JJ Boats hull is recognised less by a house design than by careful hand finishing and by the racing classes it serves.
Our model records hold one design for JJ Boats Ltd, the Javelin, a sailing dinghy 5.35 metres long, listed with build years from 2013 to 2021. The British Javelin is a racing dinghy drawn by Peter Milne in 1968, with a Bermuda rig and a glass fibre hull. It should not be confused with the older Javelin by Uffa Fox or with the New Zealand Javelin skiff. Our records show that the class was still being built new decades after the original design. Older Javelins from other yards, for instance from Germany, appear on their own brand pages.
A racing dinghy lives a hard life, so a buyer of a used Javelin should check the hull for stiffness, especially around the centreboard case, the shroud plates and the transom. Look at the foils for chips and delamination, at the mast and boom for corrosion around fittings, and at the condition and age of the sails. Fittings that have been replaced over the years are normal, but loose screws in a soft deck are a warning sign. Javelins are sailed mostly at club level on lakes, rivers and inland waters such as the Norfolk Broads, and on sheltered coastal waters.
