Petter Gustafsson, a competitive sailor known for his long-distance racing campaigns, has acquired a J/99 to focus on double-handed offshore racing.0:59 He plans to campaign the boat primarily under the IRC rating rule, targeting major 600-mile events such as the Fastnet Race and the Baltic 600.5:29 The boat is currently based in France, where he will prepare it for the Spi Ouest-France regatta during Easter to gain experience with the new platform.6:01 His upcoming season includes a mix of transport sailing and competitive events in Scandinavia, including Færderseilasen.7:05 Gustafsson previously campaigned a J/111 and a J/109, noting that while the J/111 was a fast, sporty boat, it struggled to rate competitively under established handicaps.3:34 By contrast, the J/99 is specifically chosen for its performance under IRC.5:07 He emphasizes that his shift toward double-handed racing reflects a broader trend among serious amateur teams in Scandinavia, who are increasingly adopting boats like the JPK 1030 and Sun Fast 3300 for long-distance competition.17:18
