JPK 1080
IRC Racing
All the optimisations carried out on the JPK 1010 have made it possible to progress each year to achieve the perfect season in 2013: SNIM, spi Ouest France, Giraglia, Tour of the Isle of Wight, Cowes Week, Atlantic Trophy double, RORC Championship, Atlantic Duo and in climax a historic double in the Fastnet won by the tandem Alexis and Pascal Loison.
The JPK 10.80 takes full advantage of all the developments made on the 1010. Jacques Valer, our architect, called the "magician", did not forget any detail of the project to realize a perfectly balanced and optimized "machine" able to win in IRC 2 in all the race formats and whatever the crew configuration.
Loyal to the "spirit of the IRC rule" the boat nevertheless retains a degree of finish and interior equipment consistent with a boat of this size. Unbeatable in racing, bright and stylish on deck and inside, the 10.80 represents the best of our know-how, from a team of technicians and passionate sailors.

Racing machine
A few months after its launch, the boat has already shown great potential. True to his "magic" style of drawing, Jacques Valer has once again succeeded in the challenge of an extremely competitive hull with a smooth and forgiving behavior and impressive stability.
Results inshore or offshore are the best proof of this.
The 10.80 benefits from the optimisation work carried out on the 1010 with a design that is accurate in terms of performance but tolerant and reliable in terms of sea keeping. It is a "light" and lively IRC that performs well for its size.
The hull is especially optimised to combine high power for performance in breezes and low drag for speed in light airs and open wind performance.
The deck layout has been designed for efficiency and comfort, with a very well designed steering position (coamings angled forward).
All the fittings are designed for maximum efficiency and versatility between full crew and single/double crew operation.
Tired of getting sprayed and stupidly chilled on watch, we designed a sliding bubble to protect the companionway.
Assis sur le surbau de descente, elle offre un poste de veille parfait à l’abri du vent et des embruns avec un panneau translucide permettant de contrôler les voiles et vérifier la route.
In strong winds, upwind, it perfectly protects the descent from the spray and secures the instruments on the chart table.
Quand les conditions redeviennent clémentes, on la coulisse sur l’avant et la descente redevient classique. Sur les course inshore d’équipage, on la démonte en 2 minutes et on peut permuter les inhauler de génois au centre.
Dans le même esprit, les planchers sont recouverts d’un antidérapant translucide et les main courantes sont disposées aux endroits “naturels” de préhension.
Inside, everything has been thought out for the quality of life while sailing.
The open roof allows you to rest on the port and starboard side with a panoramic view of the outside. Combined with the frame bunks for stacking or sleeping for the crew during the race and a "wet" area for storing sails and gear, the concept responds to the pleasure of cruising by its simplicity, its modernity and its clarity.
