The JPK 960 stands as the foundational pillar of JPK Composites, the vessel that effectively transitioned Jean-Pierre Kelbert from a specialist windsurf shaper into a premier yacht builder. Launched in 2003, this 9.6-meter cruiser-racer was the first collaboration between Kelbert and naval architect Jacques Valer, a partnership that would eventually dominate the European IRC racing circuit. Designed specifically to challenge the dominance of heavier, traditional designs, the 960 introduced a hull form that prioritized stability and early planing without sacrificing the rating efficiency required for competitive handicap racing. According to the JPK Composites official history, the model was revolutionary for its time, proving that a lightweight, infused composite boat could be both a fierce offshore competitor and a manageable platform for short-handed sailing.
