90th Anniversary 2025
2025 is a significant milestone for the Jubilee One Design Class as we celebrate the 90th anniversay of the launching of "Freydis" J1 at Royal Brighton Yacht Club in May 1935.
Celebrations are in the planning stages centred around the relaunch of Freydis following her renovations and a lunch of Jubilee sailors past and present to be held at RBYC.
​
"FREYDIS ' J1 RESTORATION
In 2017 “Freydis J1" was gifted to the Jubilee Yacht Association by Bryan Linacre who at the age of 91 had retired from active sailing. "Freydis J1" was the first Jubilee Class Yacht and was built for Bryan's father Jim A. Linacre, in 1935 by Charlie Peel Boat Builder of Melbourne and has been in the Linacre family for most of its 83 years. She had been sailed regularly at Royal Brighton Yacht Club until 2017 on Bryan's retirement.
In gifting "Freydis J1" to the Jubilee Association of Victoria, the Linacre Family requested that she continued to be sailed and used to promote and further the development of the Jubilee One Design Class.
After an initial stripping of the hull, the restoration was interrupted by Covid and it wasn’t until November 2023 that the team of John Brewer, Joe Luciani and Paul Crosbie commenced work in earnest. Over the last six months we have invested 410 hours into the project and are happy with our progress. 3
The relaunch of Freydis will be held at Royal Brighton Yacht Club on 29 March 2025.
