Everyone can relax and enjoy
Creature comforts come in many forms on the J/70. The 11' long cockpit
and moderate height boom allow easy crew movement across the cockpit
while tacking and jibing. For sitting and hiking comfort, mid-height
padded backrests/lifelines run cockpit length, making J/70 one of
the most comfortable boats to helm without having to rely on hiking
straps to keep you in the boat.
The small cabin below is a bonus, and provides weather protection, a
place to nap and personal privacy... essential to keeping everyone happy
if spending a day on the water. And, for children safety is paramount.
The J/70 one-design class rules provide for a 2.5 hp outboard engine
(gas or electric). This means one can sail
further away from homeport without worrying about paddling home or
hailing for a tow. Race Committees can start races on time and finish
them later in the day without having to arrange towboats. And, if
a storm hits quickly, sails can be dropped, the engine turned on and the crew
can head for home fast and safely.
