SAIL Magazine’s Poster Child- the new J/9 Daysailer!

(Newport, RI)- The June 2022 issue of SAIL magazine features the J/9 daysailer out for a lovely evening cruise on Narragansett Bay.

The SAIL magazine boat review team (comprised of Adam Cort and Lydia Mullan) was in Newport, RI to give the J/9 a thorough “test” and an in-depth review of its endearing qualities and features; the huge “living room sofa” cockpit, the light touch on the helm, the benefits of mainsail-only maneuverability, the remarkable sea-kindly motion, and its extraordinary “stiffness” and stability. Read more about the SAIL magazine review here (a 10 MB PDF fie). 

The J/9 has proven to be incredibly popular with J/Sailors far and wide, exceeding most people’s expectations for how a daysailer can perform.  Learn more about the J/9 daysailer here
