J/95 Sailing Swiss Lakes
J/Lane, the J Dealer based in Strasse, Switzerland has its J/95 just about ready to roll on the gorgeous Swiss lakes, starting with the HallwillerSee (Lake Hallwiller). Peter Bangerter is quite excited about the enthusiasm they're seeing for the revolutionary shoal-draft J/95. The fact that it can be towed on European Community roadways ensures that J/95 will have broad appeal to those who wish to explore not just remote reaches of their own lakes and shorelines but to take it far afield to the Med, the Atlantic or to the Adriatic Sea-- it will be interesting to see how far European J/95 sailors push the limits of its capabilities- the ultimate in sailing freedom. Take it anywhere you wish to sail in complete comfort and with remarkable performance.
