(Les Sables d’Olonne, France)- J/112E hull #1 is out of the mold and
production is off and running at J Composites in Les Sables d’Olonne,
France. Hull #2 follows shortly as things gear up for a mid-summer
product launch and busy fall boatshow schedule in Europe and North
America. More progress photos and details to come!J/112E is the newest addition to J/Boats’ “E” Series of versatile performance sailing yachts. The “E” is for elegance and evolution in performance cruising design.
This dual purpose design has 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 on long passages.
Her moderate displacement design with a high aspect, non-overlapping sailplan has proven to be a very efficient configuration. It provides ample sail power in light winds (while most others are motoring), and offers easy to down-shift options when the wind builds. J’s are known for being able to sail well under mainsail alone, jib alone, and nearly any combination of mainsail and small jib. The J/112E is no exception. All one needs is a mainsail and 105% jib to enjoy easy, high performance sailing in winds from 5 to 25 knots. For downwind fun or extensive offshore passages, one can deploy with minimal effort the asymmetric spinnaker from the retractable carbon sprit.
