J/99 Offshore Doublehanded Experience!

 

(Les Sables d'Olonne, France)- When we launch a new J/Boat, it's important to test it in all weather conditions. Whether in lovely seas, or in very rough weather, we test each of our boats, with shorthanded crew, in order to check performance, stability, maneuverability and general behavior at sea.

Ten days ago, J/Composites took advantage of tropical storm Alex in the tempestuous Bay of Biscay to sail aboard a J/99 in heavy seas (8 to 12 foot swell) with a very strong wind (25-30 knots), all with a doublehanded crew!

Downwind or upwind, the J/99 has proven its capabilities and performance in rough weather, which few owners have had the opportunity to experience. Its maneuverability and behavior at sea give the crew a maximum pleasure and satisfaction, in complete safety!

For all sailors that love performance, come and appreciate the planing capabilities of the J/99, a real racer! Learn more about J/99 here.  Watch the J/99 YouTube video here.Add to Flipboard Magazine.
