The wood is good, says skipper/owner Oivind Lorentzen. His latest boat, the 43-foot Botin-designed Jax, was cold molded by Brooklin Boatyard in Maine, designed to plane in brisk conditions and intended to compete under ORC and in the Spirit of Tradition class at classic yacht regattas.

"How are things going? So far, so good" he says. After two races, Jax sits in third in ORC C at Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex.
