J Boats J88 2017

The J/88 combines comfort and ease of handling with a delightful balance, impressive speed, and exceptional comfort, ensuring an enjoyable sailing experience. This model represents the perfect blend in J Boat's new performance sprit range – spacious enough to offer the comforts of a sit-in cockpit, inboard diesel engine, overnight accommodations, and a head; yet compact enough for single-point lifting, owner towing, and storage. With no wood on deck, minimal systems, and a straightforward interior, you can spend more time sailing and less time on maintenance. If sailing is about having it all, the J/88 is like indulging in an entire dessert menu. Key design features include a high-aspect, non-overlapping sail plan (eliminating genoas) paired with a lightweight carbon fiber mast that is deck-stepped for easy rigging, tuning, and to keep the cabin dry. The 6.5 ft fixed keel, with its smooth molded finish, ensures a fair foil surface and a low vertical center of gravity, offering a ride that is both stable and thrilling, matching the speed of its J/88 speedster siblings. It excels upwind with remarkable fingertip balance and showcases exciting downwind potential in moderate to fresh breezes, aided by the user-friendly masthead asymmetrical spinnaker and retractable carbon J/Sprit. Since its successful debut, with nearly 100 J/88s sailing globally in 2016, the growing J/88 Owner-managed one-design class has fostered competitive racing in the US and UK, along with enjoyable social events for owners, with more activities being added each year. With a maximum crew of six and strict sail limitations, the class rules keep costs manageable, making it ideal for sailors seeking a simplified one-design experience that includes friends and family.
