Irish Quantum Sails agent Mark Mansfield, a J109 specialist himself, highlights the amazing run of victories for Quantum Sails in the J109 class in the United States. Three different Quantum Sails boats have won the J109 US Nationals since 2014 right up to 2019. There was no US J109 Nationals in the US in 2020 due to Covid. From 2016 to 2019, the same J109, Loki, has won the Nationals each year, while in 2014 and 2015, two different Quantum sails boats were victorious.

In the United States, Quantum, along with another sailmaker, share the majority of the racing market. In Ireland and the UK, many owners do not appreciate how competitive Quantum has been in recent years.

Many will know that the US America's Cup foiling monohull—American Magic, uses Quantum sails and two of the Top TP 52s on the TP Circuit, Platoon and Quantum Racing, both use full Quantum inventories. However in Ireland, few will appreciate how well the brand does in one design and other events like the J109 class.

The J109 class over there also uses non-overlapping headsails, as they do in Ireland. The option of choice for these winning J109's has been the Quantum Fusion 5 and Fusion 7 Carbon Membrane sails, with Superkote spinnakers.
To win such a competitive class six years running is unprecedented in one-design classes.
Irish J109 owners and owners of other cruiser racers now have a choice when they are selecting their sails for the coming year. The knowledge gained from these top one-design classes trickles down into all cruiser sails and even into cruising inventories. Quantum pricing structures are very competitive and winter discounts continue with discounts of up to 15% available.
