J-70 Speed Star

J/70 Sea-trials Begin

We’re very pleased to report that thanks to an incredible weather window J/70 hull #1 splashed (ahead of schedule) for some initial sea-trialing on Narragansett Bay earlier this week. In a few words . . . a sweet ride! She has jets upwind and down, is stable, easy to handle and a joy to steer. Many more details to follow as we continue internal evaluations and lock in final hardware and rigging specs with suppliers, etc… Sailmaker trials begin next week, with some of the top one-design sailmakers in the industry traveling to RI to put the first two boats through their paces and lock in the final class sail sizes and fine tune their sail shapes.
Since we can hardly talk about the J/70 launching without showing a picture or two, here’s a quick peek of hull #1 sailing in the summer-like light southwesterly we had on Wednesday…




J70/SpeedStar

J70 Speed Star は、2012年のセーリングに旋風を巻き起こします。

J70はファミリーユーズにも楽しめる安全設計ながら、高性能な帆走を実現するニュータイプのキールボートです。

The J/70 introduces a new dimension of fun, fast sailing in a stable,easy to own boat. A natural evolution of its J pedigree,
the J/70's 22-foot long waterline with high aspect, all carbon rig provides spirited performance and stability that feels like a much larger boat.

Knifing through the water upwind with confidence and ease, the J/70 has that legendary “J” feel - light,
controllable with a wide-groove to sail consistently fast. With an adjustable cascading backstay, one has total control over sail shape and dynamic rig tension across the full range of conditions, making it not only easy to change gears on the J/70,

but faster and safer. Off the wind, J/70 will simply light-up the crew with a smile! Set the masthead asymmetrical off a retractable carbon bowsprit and the J/70 pops up on a plane in a moderate breeze.

J/70 Website Additions:
SAILOR FRIENDLY J/70 is all about making sailing inclusive not exclusive. With its easily driven hull, large cockpit,
and manageable three sail inventory,the J/70 is perfect for three adults, two couples, or four juniors.

Sailing is Friends. It’s all about the joy of sharing the experience with others. When your family and friends can enjoy sailing in all forms of weather, the return on investment will be high.

EVERYONE CAN RELAX AND ENJOY
Creature comforts come in many forms on the J/70. The 11' long cockpit and moderate height boom allow easy crew movement across the cockpit while tacking and jibing.

For sitting and hiking comfort, mid-height padded backrests/lifelines run cockpit length, making the J/70 one of the most comfortable boats to helm without having to rely on hiking straps to keep you in the boat. The small cabin below is a bonus,
and provides weather protection, a place to nap and personal privacy...
essential to keeping everyone happy if spending a day on the water. And, for children safety is paramount.

The J/70 has convenient, on-deck stowage for an outboard engine, providing safe, quick access to the transom.
This means one can sail further away from homeport without worrying about paddling home or hailing for a tow;
a Race Committees can start races on time and finish them later in the day without having to arrange towboats;
and, with an oncoming storm, sails can be dropped, the engine turned on and the crew stay warm and dry in the cabin while
the J/70’s intrepid captain steers the boat home.

TRAILERABLE, EASY TRANSPORT& LAUNCHING
In today’s crowded harbors, it’s not always possible or economical to own a permanent mooring, marina slip or rent space in a dry lot with crane.

J/70 offers a practical solution. Launch at the local boat ramp, raise the lightweight all carbon rig,
hoist the sails and off you go on a sailing adventure in less than 30 minutes.

The only limitations are how far you want to drive and willingness to camp in the great outdoors.
Trailerable behind a family minivan or SUV, you can go anywhere.
