2016 J Boats J/70

The J/70 introduces a new dimension of fun, fast sailing in a stable, easy to own boat. A natural evolution of its J pedigree, the J/70's 22-foot long waterline with high aspect, all carbon rig and deep, lifting bulb keel provides spirited performance and stability that feels like a much larger boat. Knifing through the water upwind with confidence and ease, the J/70 has that legendary “J” feel - light, controllable with a wide-groove to sail consistently fast. With an adjustable cascading backstay, one has total control over sail shape and dynamic rig tension across the full range of conditions, making it not only easy to change gears on the J/70, but faster and safer. Off the wind, J/70 will simply light-up the crew with a smile! Set the masthead asymmetrical spinnaker off the retractable carbon bowsprit, point the J/70 where you want with its deep, high-aspect rudder and the J/70 pops up on a plane and takes off in a moderate breeze.

SAILOR FRIENDLY
J/70 is all about making sailing inclusive, not exclusive. With its easily driven hull, large cockpit, and manageable three sail inventory, the J/70 is perfect for three adults, two couples, or four juniors. Sailing is about friends, it’s the joy of sharing the experience with others. When your family and friends can enjoy sailing in all weather, the return on investment will be high.

TRAILERABLE- EASY TRANSPORT & LAUNCHING
In today’s crowded harbors, it’s not always possible or economical to own a permanent mooring, marina slip or rent space in a dry lot with crane. J/70 offers a practical solution. Launch at the local boat ramp, raise the lightweight all carbon rig, lower the lifting bulb keel, hoist the sails and off you go on a sailing adventure in less than 30 minutes. The only limitations are how far you want to drive and willingness to camp in the great outdoors. Trailerable behind a family minivan or SUV, you can go anywhere.

This J/70 is well maintained and cared for. It has been used as a daysailer, never been raced, by its current and only owners in light winds (less than 15 kts), approximately half a dozen times per year. The deck, hull, keel, and rudder are like new, and there's no damage or scratches to the gel coat; the boat has never been in an accident. It is always kept under a full-deck, over-the-boom cover when not sailing. The mainsail and jib are in very good condition and are stored rolled, not folded; the spinnaker has barely been used and is in excellent, race-ready condition. The boat is kept in the marina dry-docked on its trailer, and has never been hauled on local roads or highways. This boat is ready to go, in need of nothing to get on the water immediately, either racing or daysailing. Moreover, there is a long list of additional equipment that adds to the readiness of this boat to set sail. Come take a look today!
