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 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. 

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.
