Celebrate The LOVE Of Sailing- The J/9 Daysailer!

(Newport, RI)- “With the J/9, we set out to reimagine how to make sailing easier, more relaxing and more inclusive,” said Jeff Johnstone of J/Boats. “This is a boat you can sail by yourself in just minutes, or bring along the whole gang with plenty of room to spare. Escaping to the water and enjoying shared family adventure has never been more important, and the J/9 is the perfect solution.”

The July 4th Independence Holiday weekend in America is all about celebrating family, freedom, and the joy to celebrate such experiences with family and friends around the world.

“We sailed the J/9 on a cracking fall day on Chesapeake Bay in an ideal 10 to 12 knots, and man, it did not disappoint. As advertised, the layout is simplicity personified: one hand on the tiller, the other on the mainsheet. There’s no traveler, the boom is controlled by an ingenious bridle setup. There’s a clear view of the B&G plotter on the coachroof, the solid Sparcraft vang aids in boom control, and lazy jacks for the main keeps everything manageable. And, the J/9 sails like a witch, notching just shy of 7 knots hard on the breeze, and topping that number cracked off on a reach. The joy of sailing, eh? Here’s your ticket.”  Excerpted from Boat Reviews article by Herb McCormick, Cruising World Magazine
