Notes
- 5.5 J-1 "Roy" - performance comments - 01.09.2009 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- Biwi Reich reports on the test sailing after the launch at Corsier: "...the Japanese 5.5m J-1, an S&S design, was built 1963 at Corsier and test-sailed by myself together with Rod Stevens and Yul Brynner. The sailing performance of "Roy" were no impressing myself nor Rod Stevens, which was later reconfirmed when the boat came in as penultimate before the Mexican boat in the Enoshima Olympic races in 1964..."
