Thomas Nilsson tests the JPK 1050, a French racing sailboat, sailing two-up with Jean-Pierre Calvert — the designer whose initials name the boat and who won the Rolex Fastnet Race overall weeks before the test.1:19 The boat hit 20.5 knots on the log and peaked at 30.8 knots surfing down a wave face, accelerating continuously until the log stopped climbing.0:33 At 3.5 tonnes, the hull is built to plane before competitors; the wide-forward, flat-bottomed hull form is directly inspired by the TP52 generation, and the boat must heel to move cleanly through chop — it slams hard when flat.0:58 Under 20 hp with a straight shaft, the hull exceeded hull speed with minimal power, though the engine is loud and vibrates noticeably with no sound insulation.4:27 Interior finish is spartan and functional: pipe berths with sleeping bags, a minimal chart table with foot braces added after sea trials, a mast stepped on deck, and a head without a holding tank.4:27 Base price is 3.7 million Norwegian kroner; the test boat, equipped with sails, electronics, and safety gear, carried a 4.5 million kroner price tag.1:07 JPK builds one boat per month.0:49
