The NEW J/111

“(Annapolis, MD- October 8th)- J/Boats announced today a new 36′ sportboat design planned for 2010 introduction. The J/111 is a sleek, modern one-design, with a large daysailing cockpit, easy-to-handle sail plan, and 6′ headroom below for weekending. “The J/111 is all about more speed and fewer crew,” says J Boats president Jeff Johnstone. “The low wetted-surface hull, high-aspect, non-overlapping sail plan, and low VCG bulb keel combine to provide a real acceleration mode in light air plus high righting moment for good upwind performance in a breeze. The masthead asymmetric spinnaker set off a retractable carbon sprit will deliver planing speeds in moderate breezes.” J/Boats has applied its experience in building one-design fleets to draft J/111 Class Rules to insure all boats are alike in construction and performance. Class rules specifying owner-driver, a reasonable crew size, and a simple sail inventory will encourage class sailing that’s user- friendly and affordable.”
