J Boats reward their owners with superior handling and performance. That means winning ways on the racecourse and fast, safe passages on coastal or offshore cruises. Every J has a low centre of gravity for stability and sail-carrying ability, a balanced hull shape for a sea-kindly motion, and a spade rudder for the ultimate in maneuverability. 

Range

The International J/24 was the first production boat designed by Rod Johnstone and J Boats, with the first boat being launched in 1977. There are now over 6,000 racing one-design throughout the world.

The current J sprit range includes 8 models with asymmetric spinnakers and retractable carbon bowsprits. J Boats pioneered this asymmetric sailing system which not only enhances performance but also provides ease of handling. The range includes: the J/80, J/92 S, J/105, J/109, J/122 and the J/133.

The recently launched J/95 Lift Keel yacht and the J/97 Cruiser Racer are making an impact around the world, winning a number of 2010 Boat of the Year Awards. The design, drawings and specifications have just been released for the new J/111 which is a sleek, modern one-design, with a large day-sailing cockpit, easy-to-handle sail plan, and 6' headroom below for weekending. The first J/111's are due in 2010, with hull #1 making it's way to New Zealand.

The J/100 is an elegant day-sailor perfect for weekending with speed and style. The J/100 now has the option of the retractable bowsprit to fly asymmetric kites.

The J/65 was designed specifically for performance cruising and blue water sailing and is the ultimate luxury yacht.
