J-22 International One-Design Class: The Ultimate 22 ft Sailboat For Sailors Who Love Sailing, Racing, Day-sailing or One-Design Sailing

The J/22 is an 815 kilogram fin-keeled sloop with deck-stepped mast, three sails, large cockpit, and suitable deck layout for 3-4 person crews. Hulls and decks are built with Baltek cored laminates designed to endure years of hard use. In fact, 12-15 year-old boats routinely win major J/22 championships.

J/22 offers the exciting performance of a sportboat with the stability and safety of a fixed lead keel. The J/22 is trailerable behind a medium sized vehicle. Two boats can be loaded in a 40 foot open top container.

The J/22 Class and its builders have provided J/22s for women’s and men’s regattas for over 15 years. The J/22 has been one of the most actively provided boats to date in women’s match racing as well. On the merits of its sailing characteristics, worldwide distribution and smaller 3-4 person crew number, the J/22 was selected to replace the J/24 for use in the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship and continues to be a favorite among the sailors.

If your looking for a great class to get involved in, look no further than the International J/22.
