New phone number: 612-590-7235  thank you., here's the scoop.

AS OF 11/22 MY BOAT YARD AND ALL THE ASSETS WITHIN WAS SOLD TO BRIAN SHELTON (612-867-2984) OF RIVER MARINAS & MIDWEST YACHT SALES.

HOOPER'S YACHTS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK OUT OF THE NEW WISCONSIN OFFICE. WE CONTINUE TO SELL CUSTOMER USED SAILBOATS AND POWERBOATS AND CONTINUE TO BE A J/BOAT DEALER.   THE WEB SITE REMAINS THE SAME WHERE YOU CAN ACCESS THE BOATS WE HAVE LISTED FOR SALE AS YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OVER THE DECADES.  BOATS FOR SALE THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE FORMER HOOPER'S YARD ARE WELCOME TO STAY THERE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO REPRESENT THE SELLERS AS AGREED NOT ONLY IN THE AFTON YARD BUT, WHERE EVER CUSTOMER BOATS ARE LOCATED. 

SINCE I WILL NO LONGER BE MAINTAINING A STORE, OR HAVE A FACILITY FOR SERVICE WORK, ETC., WE CAN CONCENTRATE ON BOAT SALES EVEN MORE, SO IT IS ONLY AN ADVANTAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. WE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF CUSTOMERS IN THIS YARD OR ANY YARD OR MARINA. TRANSPORTATION FOR HIRE IS AVAILABLE FROM THE NEW OWNER. USE OF THEIR FACILITY IS AVAILABLE TO ME TO TAKE CARE OF MY CUSTOMERS FOR LOADING OR UNLOADING AND FOR COMMISSIONING OF NEW BOATS.

JUSTIN HAS TAKEN A JOB IN NORTH CAROLINA AND SO IS OUT OF THE PICTURE. IT WAS FABULOUS WORKING WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY. NOW IS A NEW CHANGE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO REPRESENTING YOU IN SELLING YOUR BOAT, HELPING YOU FIND THE BOAT YOU WANT, AND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH HAPPY CUSTOMERS AS WE HAVE FOR THE LAST NEARLY 40 YEARS (AND EVEN MORE YEARS WORKING FOR OTHER DEALERSHIPS BEFORE). THE STAR/TRIB ARTICLE WAS NICE, BUT TO MANY, IMPLIED THAT IS WAS A RETIREMENT CALL, AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH MY FORMER AND NEW CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS. ALREADY WE ARE LISTING NEW BOATS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR AND BOAT SALES ARE STARTING TO RAMP UP - INTEREST IS INCREASING AND J/BOAT SALES HAVE BEEN ON THE UPSWING AS WELL WITH SOLD BOATS ON ORDER.

The last few years have been phenomenal for boat sales and so inventory has been down.  We are getting more good listings and boats that are in demand seem to sell quickly because of the availability shortage. Having been in the business for as long as I have, I have a vast amount of knowledge and resources that is useful for both the party selling their boat as well as the party buying it. I understand boat differences and can be useful in helping you find the boat to suit your needs and sailing area.  We can even suggest sailing areas and where to keep your boat. We might represent the boat owner, but we are honest with both sides and strive to create a happy conclusion to the sale for all. Our experience in sailboats include, coastal and offshore passage-making and the cruising lifestyle as well as racing handicap and one-design boats, right down to the smallest of day sailors.  While sailing is in our blood and gave us the start so long ago, we also are powerboaters and own powerboats and have knowledge for that too and have experience with small runabouts to large cruising boats both inland and offshore. We have boat maintenance and service experience in most areas of boating and so understand the good and bad about what goes on in the world of boats. In short, we know what we are doing and can sort through the complexities of boat sales purchasing, if needed. But, most sales go smoothly and in the end, people walk away with smiles and anticipation on their faces.

SAINT CROIX SAILING SCHOOL

The sailing school is looking for an adult sailing program director and sailing teachers. The director job is paying job and would be perfect for an adult who likes to work with kids, be on the water and coordinate all that the shcool involves including the teaching staff and the boats.  For more information you can go out to the web site: [email protected]

Tip on how to save fuel costs:  "BUY A SAILBOAT !"

Need a slip to put your boat  call us, we can help.  .

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD SAFETY PROCEDURES THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW:

It’s also important to mention that as a mariner, you are required to keep a constant radio watch on channel 16 and be aware of what is happening on the surrounding waters. your vhf scan list includes both channel 16 and the alternate coast guard frequency on channel 22., the three acronyms you hear all summer long on channel 16 are french words. m’aidez (help me), panne (breakdown), and sécurité (security/safety) are decreasingly urgent calls used on channel 16. the first two – mayday and pan-pan – are calls for help, while the third – sécurité – is a transmission of important navigational information. it can be used to announce travel in fog in congested situations or to announce debris in the water or anything else that could be of a navigation hazzard. pan-pan is the international urgency call indicating that someone aboard a boat is declaring an urgent situation that is not an immediate threat to either the vessel or the people on board. may day is to be used for serious situations and not used for situations that are not serious.  it implies a threat to life and will bring immediate response from the coast guard or other rescue agencies. false may days are criminal offenses and can be penalized with fines and reimbursement of rescue operations. pan pan can be used for "normal" emergencies. a typical may day call would be: mayday, mayday, mayday, this is sailing vessel/fishing vessel/motor vessel (name of boat) and announce the problem (i.e.: i have a crew member collapsed on board and is not breathing). wait 20 seconds for a response and if none, repeat., channel 16: do’s & don’ts.

VHF Channel 16 is the international distress frequency; it broadcasts on a frequency of 156.8 MHz and is received worldwide by any VHF radio. It is used for distress and emergency calls as well as for informational broadcasts from the Coast Guard. Channel 16 is not a radio check channel, and it’s not a conversational channel. On summer weekends, there is a constant litany from the US Coast Guard: “Please be advised Channel 16 is not a hailing frequency, it is for emergency use only.” Don’t be “that guy” asking for a radio check or having a conversation with your buddy on 16. Switch to a working channel and hold your conversation there. If you need a radio check, Channel 9 is a good place to start.

What are the top five things you want to know from a sailor or boater who makes a distress call?

Position : latitude and longitude are ideal, but the Coast Guard is familiar with buoys, daymarkers, and other landmarks.

Number of people onboard : it helps to know if there are children, or older persons, and whether the persons onboard can swim.

Lifejackets : How many people are wearing lifejackets?

Nature of the distress : tell the Coast Guard what’s wrong. For example, is your vessel disabled, do you have a medical concern, are you lost in inclement weather?

Description of the vessel : In addition to length, hull color, sail or power, the Coast Guard wants to know information such as: is the bilge pump keeping up, has the hull been breached, does the boat have a tower, is part of the boat submerged, are there items floating in the water that would help make you easier to spot, such as a cooler or fenders? Have you set off a flare?

We hope you never have to make a MAYDAY call, but if you do, with the pointers above, you should be well prepared to call for help. If you cannot get any response in a dire situation, then that is when you should activate your EPIRB.

DCS & MMSI – Electronic Maydays

If you have a radio built in the last 10 years, it’s likely to support Digital Selective Calling (DSC). DSC is a radio messaging protocol that, when correctly set up, sends out your Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) and GPS location as a coded message on multiple radio frequencies. The means of encoding provides a more powerful signal than is present in a verbal radio transmission. You can typically initiate a DSC distress call by turning your radio to Channel 16 and pressing a large red DSC or DISTRESS button after removing its protective cover.

There is a caveat to this “magic button,” and it is a large technical caveat. First, you must register your MMSI or radio identity with the FCC. This can easily be done online with either Sea Tow or BoatUS and is free if you are a member. The next step is to enter that MMSI number into your radio correctly. Finally, you must link a pair of radio wires either directly to your GPS or to a NMEA 2000 bridge.

Only after all three of these steps are done will that big red button correctly summon help.

INTRODUCING TWO NEW J/BOATS THAT WERE INTRODUCED IN 2021

The new j/9 and j/45, read below:.

Is This The Most Comfortable J/Boat Cockpit Ever? YES!  In response to the growing need among performance sailors for a more comfortable, simpler and easy-to-own daysailer, J/ Boats announces an exciting NEW 28 footer (the “J/9”) for 2021 with perhaps the most comfortable cockpit and easiest to handle sailplan in this size range. J/9’s deep, secure cockpit has four great corner seats to nestle into and enjoy the day. With friends and family aboard, everyone can find the perfect place to relax. And access aboard has never been easier. A swim platform behind the cockpit allows walk-through boarding, and on those downwind sails home, you can cool off by dragging your feet in the water.

The boat width is 8'6" for trailering without a permit and will be available with either a diesel sail drive or Torqueedo electric inboard or fitted for an outboard. A deep and shoal keel is also offered.

  We have financing opportunities that make buying easy with terms out to 240 months to keep monthly payments down at historically low interest rates .   Contact Hooper's for more details.

The J/9 is the first in a new series of modern J daysailers dedicated to making sailing easier, more comfortable, and more inclusive, at a time when escaping to the water and enjoying shared family adventure has never been more important.  For more information, pricing, or to get your name on a hull, please contact Hooper's Yachts.  CCF is putting out one boat every 3 weeks and capacity is scheduled to increase. Hull #38 just arrived at her new owner. The next J/9 is for 2025 completion. We have hull#56 sold and on order. Base price is $122,950.

Expand your Bucket List with the NEW J/45 Offshore Sailing Yacht

yacht brokers minnesota

Images by Onne VanderWal

The stunning J45 (Hull #2, pictured right) is out the door at J/Composites and was the first of this design headed to the USA and now she has arrived in Newport RI.  ACADIA arrived unscratched from the UK. This was following a 500-mile offshore delivery through gale-force conditions that rounded out a successful sea-trial for the next J/45 to launch since the new design debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival last September. She then underwent 5 days of recommissioning, sail testing, photo-shoots and sailing with magazine editors. Then the new owners and several members of the J Family including Rod & Lucia Johnstone took her for the first state-side sail.  Dave Reed, editor of Sailing World, posted a short action video taken during Sailing World's test sail.  Watch it at:  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1655734521494719&ref=sharing

The video shows how smoothly the carbon Furlerboom operates. The entire mainsail hoisting and furlingoperation is managed with a single electric halyard winch, which greatly reduces the clutter on the mast vs. other systems. The main sail bolt rope improves the air flow over theleading edge of the main and there's no extra weight aloft or rattling sounds. The next available J/45 is expected to be available in April of 2024.

ACADIA is extensively equipped for cruising for a family of 6 with an interior plan of 3 cabins & 2 heads & comfort features such as A/C, genset, inverter & built-in sound system.

Set up for 2 people to sail, ACADIA is equipped with an electric windlass, electric main halyard winch, retractable bow thruster & in-boom mainsail furling.

  The next available delivery is January 2024.

The new 45’ offshore sailing yacht that may change all of your sailing plans.

Leading-edge hull design meets refined interior design to raise the bar on cruising comfort and performance like no J before it.

J/121 Wins Boat of the Year Award

yacht brokers minnesota

Sailing World Magazine just posted the BOTY winners on www.sailingworld.com.  Simply put, the J/121 is a bucket-list boat, designed to tackle adventure-style races where it's more about the experience than winning. Jeff Johnstone observes that signature races were attracting record fleets. These are the short-handed, adventure style races. J/Boats goal was to cut the crew in half on a 40-foot boat built to be a point to point distance boat, but still pass the beer can and day sail set too. The concept was to build a boat with a crew of 5 with no need for rail meat. The 800 lb. water ballast, controlled from the cockpit takes care of that. In 15-20 knots the boat is really fast and stable with or without the water ballast. The rudder never loses her grip. She's rock solid in a breeze - a great boat all around. She has a 5-sail inventory, most of which are on furlers. The J/121 isn't configured for cruising, but will provide comfort for distant racing and the V-berth option increased sleeping capacity. The berths are designed for passage-making, there is synthetic flooring, molded furniture and mahogany trim making it homey while taking on the day to day race abuse. The cockpit ergonomics are excellent and the winches are well-positioned. Headsails are trimmed with hybrid floating jib leads that allow in-hauling or barber-hauling.  You can tweak all day long on a long offshore leg. There are already 4 J/121's entered in the Bermuda Race this year including one in the double-handed division. On the heels of a victory in the 2019 Transpac Race, 2 west coats boats are gearing up for the 2020 offshore circuit. The next available production slot is TBD. www.jboats.com/j121

yacht brokers minnesota

 $419,900 Production not currently scheduled.  Call for details. 

  J/BOATS  - The new E series from J/Boats offers the perfect blend of all-around J/Boat "Sport Cruising" performance with live-aboard cruising luxury.  The E is for Evolution and Elegance in performance yacht design. Why settle for anything less than a great sailing boat that can take you where and when you want to go in comfort, style and speed?  Responsive, stable and pure magic to steer, this is what sailing is all about.

J/112E - We know of no other 36 footer on the market with such a comfortable cruising layout that can sail upwind at 7+ kts and hit 12.5 kts downwind in 20 kts of breeze. It's enjoying its highest rate of production in 5 years. With ORC racing on the rise in North America, many seem to just be discovering this versatile family cruiser can also win bucket list races like the Chicago Mac. 

$349,950 base.  The next estimated finish date now is March 2024

Here is a video link to the exciting new modern J/112E Interior:  https://www.facebook.com/771428382916607/videos/962881567104620/

INTRODUCING FROM J/BOATS:  J/122 "E"   Call for details

yacht brokers minnesota

The J/122 is one of the most successful 40 footers worldwide of the past five years, compiling a record unmatched by other 40 footers- winning major events on three different continents in both double-handed and fully-crewed events. However, what truly sets the J/122 apart from other performance boats is her dual-purpose appeal as an all-around family cruiser. That attraction increases dramatically with the recent unveiling by J Composites (at the La Rochelle Show) of the J/122 "E" - a fully restyled J/122 with new cabin port layout, hull ports and beautiful interior, designed to enhance the J/122 cruising qualities while still delivering the same race-winning performance. Both the "E" and "Classic" versions of the J/122 will be offered for 2014 in the two cabin and three cabin arrangements.

 The first J/122E for North America is already on order. The new owner is planning to cruise the Great Lakes as well as sail in the Chicago-Mac Race.  Contact Hooper's for more details and pricing.  Next availability TBD.

NW YACHTING MAGAZINE J/122E REVIEW:   http://www.nwyachting.com/2015/01/j-122e-new-boat-review/       

The most exciting and fastest selling J Boat introduction since the J/24. 500 orders in just 19 months and the largest one-design fleet in her intro year at nearly every major East Coast Regatta including Key West RW, St. Pete NOOD, Charleston RW & Annapolis NOOD and 90 entries for the 2013 NA Championship in Annapolis.  All ages can sail the boat (How many boats can excite juniors and young adults yet be stable enough for infants and elders?) She can be launched at a ramp and rigged without marina help.
