New J/70 Hits the
Water!!
The J/70 is undergoing sea trials on Narragansett
Bay this week and throughout the Spring and we are being treated
to some spectacular Spring sailing weather. The new ramp-launchable
keelboat (a first for J/Boats) is proving to be one special
platform and we're very excited to have some new sailing photos
to share which are now posted over at the
J/70 site.
J/70 promises a new dimension of fun, fast sailing in a
stable, easy to own boat that all of your friends and family can
enjoy. J/70's 22-foot long waterline with high aspect rig
with all carbon
mast and boom provides spirited performance and stability that feels like
a much larger boat upwind. Off-the-wind, J/70 will simply
light-up the crew with a smile! Set the masthead a-sail and
plane away in moderate breezes.
Fleet discussions are underway in over a dozen locations in America and Europe.
Contact your J/Dealer now for a demo sail in Newport, Rhode
Island in late spring/early summer to discover the excitement
for yourself.

J/70 is the choice of New York Yacht Club for the 2012 NYYC Invitational US Qualifying Series and
is generating buzz everywhere, from London to San Diego, Chicago to Paris,
Dusseldorf to Gothenburg... and the list goes on....
J/111
One-Design Speedster
2012 marks the first full season of J/111
one-design sailing around the world. With numerous events
organized in Europe (France and England) and in the USA (East
Coast, Great Lakes, Pacific Coast), J/111 sailors will enjoy the
camaraderie of sailing close, tactical racing around-the-buoys
and in major offshore events. In some instances, 111s will
have the opportunity to win silverware in both one-design as
well as handicap classes- proving this 36 foot speedster permits
you to have "your cake and eat it too"-- unique amongst modern
offshore sailboats.
J/111's have established a remarkable
sailing record offshore in the past twelve months. Learn
more about this extremely versatile, easy-to-sail, offshore
racer-cruiser and, more importantly, join in on the fun and set
your sights on one-design racing in the world's greatest
sailing areas- Cowes, Newport, SPI Ouest, San Francisco, Great
Lakes, Harbor
Springs, to name a few.
