Although designed as a high-performance cruising sailboat, the J/40 was named Sailing World's Boat-of-the-Year among US designs-- a first for a cruising sailboat in the premiere American sailboat racing magazine.

The J/35 was lst Overall in the Miami-Montego Bay sailboat race and, furthermore, the J/35 won the New England Solo-Twin-- where two sailors will go sailing the boat both single-handed as well as double-handed.



The J/28 cruising sailboat (pictured above) was introduced to critical acclaim- a small cruising sailboat with the renowned J/Boats performance. It was designed as a "couple cruising" boat that had stand-up headroom and a very roomy interior. The interior was remarkably open and accommodating for a couple cruising for long weekends or longer. The interior is pictured below.



In the same year, J/Boat also introduced a larger cruising sailboat sistership called the J/37. The J/37 was meant to meet the needs of a racer/cruiser marketplace that had not been addressed by the J/40. The J/37 is shown below on a mooring in Brenton Cove in Newport Harbor, Newport, Rhode Island. The interior picture is below that.
