The highly sought-after new J/80s are back by popular demand! The North American J/80 Class is thriving, with an unprecedented demand for both new boats and resale value. We are excited to reintroduce the NEW J/80 program for 2024. This model features an AG+ Spar package, a Profurl R-250-10 custom jib furler, a cockpit-operated bilge pump, Antal winches, a composite tiller, and molded floorboards below.
Sailing is one of the best family activities, especially with a boat that captivates sailors of all ages. The J/80 excels in this regard, offering exhilarating 15-knot rides under spinnaker as well as peaceful sunset cruises with just the mainsail. SAILING WORLD has praised the J/80 for being easier to manage, less intimidating, safer, and more suitable for offshore sailing compared to other modern sport boats. If you're looking to broaden your sailing adventures beyond protected harbors and lakes, the J/80 is your ideal choice.
The specs speak for themselves: with a 1,400 lb. fixed lead keel and a 48% ballast ratio, the J/80 provides a big-boat experience that can be handled by less experienced crews. The high boom enhances safety and visibility, and the spacious 12-foot cockpit means no one has to navigate a cabin top.
Get sailing in just 3 minutes! Remove the boom cover, hoist the mainsail, and cast off. You’ll be cruising faster than other boats with full canvas. Want more speed? Simply uncleat the furler line and pull in the jib sheet. Ready for some excitement? Pull the sprit launch control line, hoist the asymmetric spinnaker, and trim it—now you’re planing!
The J/80 is easy to trailer, launch, and own—equipped with a single-point lifting bar for quick hoisting on a small (3-ton) hoist. When loaded onto a double-axle trailer, the J/80 remains within legal towing width for most countries and can be towed long distances by an 8-cylinder SUV or van. With a portable gin pole, two people can easily hoist and rig the mast.
Join over 1,600 satisfied J/80 owners who have realized their dream of a single boat that combines ease of operation, confidence-boosting stability, and exceptional performance in a low-maintenance, trailerable package. The J/80 truly is a unique sailboat for the whole family!
