The Jubilee

The Jubilee Photo: Jubilee Yacht Association

The Jubilee is an 18', open displacement yacht for a three or four person crew. Designed in 1935 as a one design class, the Jubilee will handle almost any conditions - and accordingly there is energetic competition and the local, State and national levels. While the majority of Jubilees are sailed in Victoria, a few boats are located in the other states.
