The J/99 (32.6') is the ultimate sailing companion, expertly fusing impressive performance and stability with cozy accommodations below deck, making it perfect for solo sailors or couples. Its thoughtfully designed deck layout and sail plan ensure easy handling, while the spacious cockpit can host over 8 for enjoyable days on the water. Whether you're gearing up for an overnight race or a cruising rally without crew, the J/99 promises thrilling, high-speed sailing—whether you're alone, with a partner, or with a full crew. Today’s sailors are drawn to exhilarating events like the Fastnet, Middle Sea, and Chicago-Mac, where speed, sail handling, strategy, and weather routing are put to the ultimate test. The J/99 is crafted to excel in these competitive situations, whether fully crewed or short-handed, while still offering the family-friendly experience that the J Sport range is celebrated for. The cockpit is versatile enough for both day cruising and racing, comfortably fitting up to 6 people. The deck features several enhancements, including a floating jib lead system, an 8:1 inhauler, and cockpit-led outhaul and cunningham controls, along with a double-ended boom vang. The innovative 48:1 cascading backstay system is accessible from both sides of the cockpit, and the two self-tailing primary winches are conveniently positioned for the helmsman. The J/99 is tiller steered and can be outfitted with a single centerline balanced rudder or an optional twin rudder configuration, which is favored for offshore sailing with auto-pilot. A wheel package is also available. Inside, the J/99 boasts a spacious and streamlined interior. The main cabin includes two full-length settee berths with optional flip-up pilot berths, while the L-shaped galley is equipped for weekend getaways, featuring a stove, an ice box, and an inboard sink with a pressurized water system. A dedicated forward-facing nav station is located to starboard, and the drop-leaf main cabin table adds a touch of cruising comfort. The matching double aft cabins come with privacy doors, allowing for 2-4 crew to sleep on the windward side for optimal weight distribution during offshore trips, and it can accommodate up to 8 for inshore regattas or weekend excursions. The forepeak is designated for head and sail storage, kept light and functional. **J/99 Specification Features** - **High-Quality Composite Engineering & Construction:** Exceeding ISO 12215 standards for Category A offshore sailing, the hull and deck are constructed with strength by J/Composites of France using the SCRIMP resin-infusion process, ensuring high-strength laminates and long-lasting integrity. - **AG+ Custom Mast Section:** The J/99 features a custom-engineered alloy mast (anodized black) by AG+ Spars of France, designed specifically for this model.
