J/Boats proudly introduces the J/9, a beautifully designed 28-foot daysailer crafted to meet the needs of sailors seeking comfort, simplicity, and ease of ownership. This innovative boat features a remarkably comfortable cockpit and an effortless sail plan, making it stand out in its class. "With the J/9, our goal was to transform sailing into a more enjoyable and accessible experience," explains Jeff Johnstone from J/Boats. "You can easily sail solo or invite friends and family aboard, ensuring everyone has space to unwind. In today's fast-paced world, escaping to the water for shared adventures is priceless, and the J/9 is the ideal vessel for that purpose." The cockpit is designed for relaxation, equipped with four cozy corner seats, perfect for enjoying the day with loved ones. Boarding is a breeze thanks to a swim platform located behind the cockpit, allowing for easy access, and on those relaxing downwind sails, you can cool off by dipping your feet in the water. Operating the J/9 is straightforward—simply hoist the mainsail and adjust the sheet. Why complicate things? Most boats you see on the water sail with just one sail, and the J/9 allows you to do the same with greater comfort and speed than most with two sails or motor. When you’re ready for more speed, just unfurl the jib for a smooth and stable sailing experience in the most comfortable cockpit J/Boats has ever created. The J/9 marks the return of a dedicated daysailer design from J/Boats, following the award-winning J/100, which remains a favorite among enthusiasts. This new model combines the spacious cockpit and sailing advantages of a larger boat with a competitive price that rivals the best brokerage options. Key features include: an easy-access cockpit with secure 8.4' deep seats and backrests, a self-draining design, and convenient swim platform access; an efficient deck layout with all sail controls leading to the cockpit; secure 20” lifelines and rails with boarding gates; a keel-stepped, tapered aluminum mast with single spreaders; a jib roller furling system with a single-line self-tacking option; responsive tiller steering that allows you to comfortably brace your feet across the cockpit, and an auto-pilot available for solo sailing; a low vertical center of gravity with a standard 4.9’ fixed keel or optional 3.9’ shoal draft; multiple auxiliary engine options including inboard diesel, electric, or a transom bracket for portable options; a cozy interior with main cabin seating, storage, ventilation from two opening ports and a skylight, and a marine head system with a privacy curtain; and lastly, it’s easy to trailer behind an SUV or transport overseas in a container.
