J Boats J80 2026

Introducing the highly anticipated return of the new J/80s, back by popular demand! The North American J/80 Class is thriving, and the demand for these boats, along with their resale value, has reached new heights. We're excited to unveil the 2024 model J/80, featuring an AG+ Spar package, a custom Profurl R-250-10 jib furler, a cockpit-operated bilge pump, Antal winches, a composite tiller, and molded floorboards for added comfort. Sailing is the perfect family sport, and the J/80 captures the interest of sailors of all ages. Whether you're enjoying exhilarating 15-knot speeds under spinnaker or a leisurely sunset sail with just the mainsail, the J/80 delivers an exceptional experience. SAILING WORLD has praised the J/80 for its ease of handling, safety, and suitability for offshore sailing compared to other modern sport boats. If you're looking to broaden your sailing adventures beyond sheltered harbors and lakes, the J/80 is your ultimate choice. With a 1,400 lb. fixed lead keel and a 48% ballast ratio, the J/80 provides a big-boat feel while being manageable for less experienced crews. The high boom ensures safety and excellent visibility, while the spacious 12-foot cockpit allows everyone to sit comfortably without needing to climb over a cabin top. Getting underway takes just three minutes: remove the boom cover, hoist the mainsail, and you're off! Experience superior speed compared to other boats with full canvas, and if you want to kick it up a notch, simply uncleat the furler line and pull in the jib sheet. Ready for some fun? Pull the sprit launch control line, hoist the asymmetric spinnaker, and watch as you start planing! The J/80 is designed for easy trailering, launching, and ownership. Its single-point lifting bar makes it simple to hoist on a small (3 ton) hoist. Loaded onto a double-axle trailer, the J/80 adheres to the legal towing width for most countries and can be towed effortlessly by an 8-cylinder SUV or van. With a portable gin pole, two people can easily hoist and rig the mast. Join the community of over 1,600 J/80 owners who have found their ideal vessel—a boat that blends operational simplicity, confidence-enhancing stability, and exhilarating performance, all within an affordable, low-maintenance, and trailerable package.
