J/42 'Crisis Mode'

A short email came across the J/Boat news desk recently and reads as follows:

“Just finished a 13 month circumnavigation on my J/42. The boat has served me well in all sorts of conditions. Thanks for a great boat!”

This understated note is from owner Todd Hybels and follows a great achievement and cruising adventure covering 29,000 nm in 18 months across the Pacific, Indian, and Altantic Oceans. Congrats to Todd and his crew and friends Jeremiah Dodson, and Joe Hays.

Now temporarily based out of Leverick Bay in the British Virgin Islands Todd and his extended family are celebrating Crisis Mode's successful voyage before setting sail in a few weeks for his home port of South Haven, MI. ...
