There's Nothing Like a J/Boat
That J Feeling. Over 10,000 J/Boat owners know the feeling: The rush of acceleration. The instant, fingertip response to the helm. The excitement of speed, upwind and downwind, and the confidence that comes from always sailing in complete control.
J/Boats are easily controlled, forgiving and sea-kindly but at the same time they are incredibly exciting to sail and race and cruise comfortably. The advanced composite construction ensures that for their size, these boats are faster, lighter and stronger than their contemporaries. The patented SCRIMP process pulls triple the normal vacuum-bagging levels to draw all the air out of the cored hull & deck laminates and to draw a slow-curing resin into every void in a single step. It offers higher strength (due to 65% glass content vs. typical 40%) and a void-free laminate far superior to hand lay-up or chopper gun construction. |
J's Are Fun and Easy to Sail.
Every J/Boat is designed and built to give its owner a hassle-free, rewarding sailing experience. The unique J design formula starts with an easily-driven hull that delivers unmatched performance under mainsail and jib (or mainsail only), a boon for shorthanded and family crews.
Because J/Boats perform well in all wind conditions, J sailors spend 75% of their time sailing instead of using the engine to get places. J/Boat cruising and racing innovations, such as two-person-handled asymmetric spinnakers and well-located, minimum-muscle sail control systems, mean fewer crew are needed to enjoy a fun and satisfying sail.
With over 2,200 J/Sprit boats launched in the past decade, sailing with asymmetric spinnakers is now firmly entrenched and J/Boats is leading the charge. In famous sailing venues like Annapolis, Newport, San Francisco Bay and the Solent, it’s now commonplace to see more asymmetric spinnakers than conventional; and for good reason. A-sails are easier!
Take a Test Sail
There's only one way to find out what J sailors of the world are smiling about, and that's to test sail a J. Once you're underway you'll notice a lot of important things you can't discover at a boat show. Such as the light, balanced feel of the helm. The boat's eager response to the wind and to your sail trim. The reassuring stability, the sea-kindly motion, and the security of the cockpit. The way the boat tacks nimbly and slices through the chop with gusto. Before you know it, you've got that J feeling. |
