New J/80s are back ..... by popular demand!
The North American J/80 Class is on a roll and demand for boats (and J/80 resale value) has never been higher. We’re pleased to bring back the NEW J/80 program. The 2024 model J/80 includes an AG+ Spar package, the Profurl R-250-10 custom jib furler, a cockpit-operated bilge pump, Antal winches, a composite tiller, and molded floorboards below.
Sailing can be the world's best family sport. The key is a boat that holds the attention and interest of many types of sailors, young and old. J/80 does it all, with thrilling 15-knot rides under spinnaker or relaxed sunset cruises with mainsail only. SAILING WORLD rated J/80 as easier to handle, less intimidating, safer and better suited for sailing offshore than other modern sportboats tested. If you would like to expand your sailing horizons with a modern sportboat outside protected harbors and lakes, there's only one choice: the J/80.
Numbers highlight the reason: Thanks to its 1,400 lb. fixed lead keel (48% ballast ratio) J/80 has a big-boat feel and requires a less experienced crew. The boom is high for safety and good visibility. No one has to clamber over a cabin top because everyone sits in the 12 ft. long cockpit.
Be sailing in 3 minutes. Take off the boom cover and hoist the mainsail, and cast off. You're now sailing faster than other boats with full canvas. Ready for more speed? Uncleat the furler line and pull in the jib sheet. Presto, now you're really flying. Time for the afterburners? Pull the sprit launch control line, hoist the asymmetric spinnaker, and trim. Now you're planing!
Easy to Trailer, Launch & Own - the J/80 features a single-point lifting bar which allows easy hoisting on a small (3 ton) hoist. Loaded onto a double-axle trailer, the J/80 is within the legal towing width for most countries and can be pulled long distances behind an 8-cylinder SUV or van. With the help of a portable gin pole, two people can hoist and rig the J/80 mast.
Join the over 1,600 J/80 owners sailing who have discovered how well J/80 fulfills their dream: a single boat that combines the simplicity of operation, confidence building stability, and sparkling performance in affordable, low maintenance, and trailerable package. Truly, a unique sailboat for the entire family!
