Jean-Jacques Provoyeur, aka "JJ", (born November 1950) is a South African sailor and yacht constructor. He competed in the BOC Challenge 1994-95 single single-handed round-the-world yacht race, which he completed in 133 days.[1]
Provoyeur has built numerous monohulls and catamarans, principally employing the cold-moulding and Dudley Dix "radius chine plywood"[2] techniques, using plywood and epoxy. Such vessels range from small sailing dinghies to large 60' racing yachts and 55' cruising catamarans such as the Dudley Dix DH550.[3]
Provoyeur is based in the Algarve, Portugal, and is married to Esther Provoyeur.
