BOAT

The world’s fastest growing sailing class. Almost 1.000 boats delivered is a really incredibile number considering that J/70 was born in 2012 from the designer Alan Johnstone. Characteristics of the boat are the key success factors:

Manageable

Easy to sail also in three persons.

Comfort

The 11? long cockpit and moderate height boom allow easy crew movement across the cockpit while tacking and jibing. The small cabin below is a bonus, and provides weather protection

Deck

High-quality deck hardware and winches to facilitate sail trim and adjustment, including under-deck Harken jib furler.

Trailerable

Easy transport & launching. 30 minutes from trailering to sailing. Very easy ramp-launch with drop in rudder and vertical-lifting keel- draws 1.5 ft water at launch.
