What is this site about?

I have been sailing for almost all my life. I love sailing, fast boats, sophisticated materials / equipment. For many, many years I have been sailing fast dinghies, especially 505s. My boat currently is a JOD 35.  Maybe you can find some useful hints or links on this website.

The JOD has a worldwide community of enthusiastic single handed sailors as well as people who simply enjoy the simplicity and beauty (if you like a big ass...) of this unique boat.

JOCKER is based in Germany at the baltic sea and  will be modified over next few years for single handed sailing. I will try to share as many details as possible. This site is non commercial!

The JOD 35 was designed by Daniel Andrieu in 1991. The purpose was one design racing, also for companies and charter guests. The major event was the Tour de France a` la voile. The JOD was later replaced by the smaller Mumm 30
