IF Mayan prophecies come true in 2012, could it be true this might be the last J/24 Worlds on Planet Earth? Probably not, since even the Mayans themselves didn't' make it-- if they were so smart, why aren't they around today?! Many sailors are looking forward to the epic 2012 J/24 Open Worlds in Rochester, NY-- the first ever OPEN J/24 Worlds! Could there be a world-record set for J/24s (or any one-design ISAF keelboat) racing in a World Championship? Perhaps. PRO Hank Stuart thinks it will be "no problem, we'll just keep setting more 'mid-line' boats equipped with low-intensity lasers that burn holes in jibs as a simple means of "branding" teams pushing the line too hard." Ooops. Don't want too many of those tattoos, some jibs may look like Swiss Cheese! :) So, for more entertainment value, have a look at this YouTube video for the Argentine J/24 Worlds (it is amusing, to say the least).J/24 Worlds promo- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5EVfzg-Oq0
