Since 1977, beginning with a garage-built family boat (the J/24), J/Boats has been an undeniable pioneer and leader in the sailing world. With the Johnstone family still at the helm, the manufacturer remains a predominant name in the one design, performance cruiser, and racing yacht market.

36 feet is a magic size in the J/Boats line-up. With a spacious two-cabin accommodation plan and a comfortable, ergonomic cockpit, the all-new J/112E is as well suited for the annual cruise as she is sprinting to Mackinac Island or short-handing through rough weather. Versatility in sailboat design means not only a sailboat that can do many things, but one that can do them across a wide range of conditions, both fair and adverse.
Every now and then a new sailboat comes along that fulfills a real need in the market. The J/111 is a sleek, speedy, one-design 36 footer that is the ultimate day sailor, racer and weekender. J/111 is an easy-to-handle, comfortable sailboat that accelerates quickly, slices to windward at 7+ knots and hits double-digit speeds downwind. Performance to date in a wide variety of sailing conditions has been nothing short of remarkable.
The J/99 (32.6′) does it all – combining great sailing performance and stability with belowdecks comfort in a boat that can be sailed by just one or two people. The deck layout and sailplan are optimized for easy handling, while the roomy cockpit accommodates 8+ for fun daysailing. Want to jump into the next adventure-style overnight race or cruise rally and can’t find crew? No problem. The J/99 will reward you with easy, high speed sailing whether solo, twin, or with the whole gang.
The J/9 daysailer has a deep, secure cockpit (8.4’ long) with four great corner seats to nestle into and enjoy the day. With friends and family aboard, everyone can find the perfect place to relax. Access aboard for all ages has never been easier. A swim platform behind the cockpit allows walk-through boarding, and on those downwind sails home, you can cool off by dragging your feet in the water. This is the most comfortable J/Boats cockpit ever!
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.
The J/70 Speedster (22.75 feet) is J/Boats’ first ramp-launchable, keelboat – designed to fulfill the need for an easy-to-own, high performance one-design that’s exciting to sail, stable enough for the entire family, AND easy to tow, rig, launch and sail. Since its introduction in 2012, the J/70 has become the most prolific sportboat in the world with 1800+ boats sailing in 30+ countries. It all started with a boat that’s a BLAST to sail!
