J/9 daysailer in container cradle

Yes, in the case of a J/9 shipping via container to Switzerland!

(Newport, RI)- One of the little-known attributes of Al J’s clever design for the new J/9 daysailer is the J/9 daysailer inside 40 ft containerfact that it can be “shoe-horned” on a special cradle into a 40-foot container! The keel, rudder, and mast (cut & sleeved) all fit inside, too! An amazing feat of engineering, to be sure.

If you are in the market for a J/9 and wish to ship it worldwide, it can be done quite easily using the world shipping standards for containerization- a 40 foot high-cube. The benefits are excellent for your boat, since it stays clean- no road grime, no exhaust film, no snow, no rain, no ice!
