Introducing the NEW J/7 from J/Boats, a contemporary 23' (7m) family daysailer that features an expansive, sit-in cockpit and an easy-to-manage sail plan, offering unparalleled stability for its size. This daysailer strikes the perfect balance—spacious enough for the entire crew, yet compact enough to be towed by a mid-sized SUV. Designed for DurabilityThe J/7 is crafted to withstand the rigors of daily use, drawing on over 45 years of expertise from the J/22, J/24, J/70, and J/80 popular in programs around the globe. Its hull, deck, and structural bulkheads utilize composite sandwich construction, incorporating biaxial E-glass and vacuum-bagged Corecell foam core, with high-density inserts for robust deck hardware. This makes the J/7 one of the toughest models ever made by J. Maximize Your Sailing ExperienceSimplicity meets elegance with the J/7, allowing you to sail effortlessly with one hand on the tiller and the other on the mainsheet. All sail controls are conveniently positioned within reach, and an adjustable backstay ensures you can easily flatten the sails in breezy conditions. With remarkable stability, the J/7 allows you to carry both the main and a small jib in various weather, and it performs exceptionally well with just the mainsail, giving you more chances to enjoy sailing when others are docked. Comfort and Style on the WaterThe cockpit of the J/7 rivals that of the larger J/9 (28'), known for its comfort. It provides ample space for five or more to unwind, with four adults able to sit comfortably on one side while sailing upwind. The walk-through swim platform offers extra room for leisure, perfect for dipping your toes in the water or serving as a secure spot for teaching. From the helm, visibility is excellent, enhanced by the high boom and sleek cabin profile that offers protection from the elements for those in the forward corner seats. Key Features of the J/7: • Spacious, easy-access, self-draining cockpit with secure 8.5' (2.6m) seats and backrests, plus a step-on transom for easy access to the swim platform. • Streamlined deck layout for efficiency, featuring an end-boom mainsheet and bridle—no traveler to trip over! • High 46% ballast-to-displacement ratio and low vertical center of gravity (3.8') all-lead keel ensure exceptional stability in all weather conditions—no hiking required! • Jib roller furling system for convenience. • Integrated ORC toe-rail from bow to stern, with a single gate across the transom. • Deck-stepped, single spreader aluminum mast for straightforward rigging and sail adjustments. • Compact interior cabin with settee seats and a V-berth platform, perfect for shelter, storage, napping, or personal privacy. • Capable of single-point lifting and easy to trailer behind a mid-sized SUV. • Optional features include Flexiteek cockpit sole, cockpit cushions, swim ladder, fixed sprit for an A-sail, and symmetric spin gear for team racing or match racing.
