About Our Large 65' Custom Sailing Yacht
 This
beatiful yacht was designed by Judson Kelly as a long distance
ocean racer and built at Stephens Brothers Shipyard in Stockton,
California. She was lunched June 5th, 1938. She was commissioned
as a graduation gift for Jack from his parents Alta and Delbert
Axelson. The name JADA is an acronym comprising the first letters
of their names. JADA was homeported for her first 23 years at
Newport Beach Harbor. Originally rigged as a staysail schooner,
her length overall was 65 feet, with a narrow beam of only 11
feet, and a draft of 9 feet. She is one
of TWO identical yachts.
The yachts were actively raced and sailed along the coast from
Santa Barbara to Ensenada, Mexico. On September 25th, 1939,
she was moored alongside the Axelson family pier on South
Bay Front. “El Cordonazo”, the only tropical storm
to make landfall in California in the 20th century, caused
much damage at Newport Harbor.
The wind increased in velocity so quickly
that Jack was unable to get the boatoff the lee shore float.
Jack and his crew spent the night arranging fenders and shoring
up the pilings to prevent damage to her. The fierce wind subsided
at daylight and she managed to came through the storm with
no major damage.
There are unconfirmed reports that she may
have been purchased by Marlon Brando, where he enjoyed her
for several years in French Polynesia. It’s much more
likely that the actor was a frequent visitor.
Later she was purchased and operated by Classic
Yacht Charters in 1992, and moved to Honolulu Hawaii for charter
service. This was the beginning of her commercial career.
She was relocated to San Diego in 1996, where she was a star
nautical attraction at the Republican National Convention,
hosting events for party members and guests. She continued
to sail in and around San Diego for the next two decades.
After extensive renovations, she is currently
owned and berthed at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina
on Harbor Island. She is actively offering private charters
to corporate and social groups and public charters for whale
watching, sunset and afternoon bay sails.
