The J/70 introduces a new dimension of fun, fast sailing in a stable, easy to own boat that all of your friends and family can enjoy. The J/70′s 22-foot long waterline coupled with her high aspect, all carbon mast and boom provides extremely spirited performance with the kind of stability upwind that one would enjoy in a much larger boat.
Features include:
Creature comforts come in many forms on the J/70: The 11′ long cockpit and moderate height boom allow easy crew movement across the cockpit while tacking and jibing. For sitting and hiking comfort, mid-height padded backrests/lifelines run cockpit length, making J/70 one of the most comfortable boats to helm without having to rely on hiking straps to keep you in the boat. The small cabin below is a bonus and provides weather protection personal privacy which is essential to keeping everyone happy if spending a day on the water. The J/70 one-design class rules will provide for a 2.5hp outboard engine, petrol or electric. The J/70 also sports an impressive carbon rigging package from Southern Spars. Developed in collaboration with the J-Boats and the Southern Spars design and engineering teams, the package includes:
The J/70 is on-track to take the world by storm in 2012 and has already been chosen by New York Yacht Club for their NYYC Invitational US Qualifying Series in September. Now that the first J/70 out of the moulds has just been splashed, the verdict following her maiden sail in a few short words is ‘a sweet ride! She has jets upwind and down, is stable, easy to handle and a joy to steer.’
