(Annapolis, MD)- With its successful introduction this past winter, the
J/108 shoal-performance cruising yacht has far surpassed the
expectations of its lucky owners. The first J cruiser to combine
stand-up headroom with legendary J-performance in a 35 footer that can
wander across the shallows of the world's best cruising grounds drawing
less than the original J/24! Now that's shallow. At only 4.0 feet with
board up, the horizon is nearly your only limit for cruising grounds--
in other words, the ENTIRE Bahamas Banks are your cruising ground, not
just a few corners of a few million square miles. And, when you need to
dial-up some upwind performance, the 8' draft with board down assures
you of sparkling VMG's upwind, a near impossibility with competitive
shoal-draft cruisers. Be sure to visit the J-booth at Annapolis to see
this revolutionary J cruiser.
Also featured at the show will be the new J/111 speedster,
the boat that has been taking the offshore world by storm. It's perhaps
the most evolutionary/ revolutionary J designed to date-- simplicity,
speed and minimalism, comfort and control in a uniquely thrilling
package. Nearly a year after it's launch in 2010, over 40 J/111s are
now sailing and the "winners list" reads like a "who's who" of events
worldwide, quite a remarkable start for any boat. Better yet? Success
at a world-class level has been achieved by a cadre of corinthian/
amateur sailors having a great time at what they love to do best---
sailing with friends and family, having fun, and winning a pickle dish
or two for the trophy shelf. Isn't it time to join in on the fun?!
