32' J Boats J/99 Racers and Cruisers

Overview

The J/99 does it all - combining great sailing performance and stability with belowdecks comfort in a boat that can be sailed by just one or two people. The deck layout and sailplan are optimized for easy handling, while the roomy cockpit accommodates 8+ for fun daysailing. Want to jump into the next adventure-style overnight race or cruise rally and canâ��t find crew?�  No problem. The J/99 will reward you with easy, high speed sailing whether solo, twin, or with the whole gang. Now more than ever, sailors are attracted to adventure-filled, signature events (Fastnet, Middle Sea etc.) where straight-line speed, sail handling, strategy and weather routing are all equally put to the test. The J/99 is designed to excel in these events (both fully crewed and short-handed) while delivering the exhilarating, family-friendly experience the J Sport range is known for. The J/99 has a versatile cockpit for both cruising and racing that can comfortably accommodate as many as 6. The deck layout has several optimized features including a floating jib lead system, 8:1 inhauler system, cockpit-led outhaul, cunningham, and double-ended boomvang; and an optional water ballast system. The 48:1 cascading backstay system leads to both sides of the cockpit. The two self-tailing primary winches are located within reach of the driver. The J/99 interior� is roomy with clean lines and uncluttered spaces. The main cabin features two full length settee berths. The L-shaped galley has everything for the weekend cruise including a stove, an ice-box and an inboard sink with a pressure water system.� Thereâ��s a proper sit-down, forward-facing, nav station to starboard. The drop-leaf main cabin table is a nice extra, usually seen only on cruising Jâ��s. There are matching double aft cabins with privacy doors. This versatile layout allows 2-4 crew to sleep on the windward side for good offshore weight distribution, and up to 8 for the occasional inshore regatta or weekend cruise. The forepeak is dedicated for the head and sail storage, and otherwise kept as light as possible.�

The� J/99� is the first J with a fixed carbon bowsprit. The sprit is easily removed by way of two bolts just aft of the stem, and is supported by a Dyneema bobstay to the bow. The primary benefits of a fixed bowsprit for offshore sailing are reduced weight in the bow and better protection against water intrusion.

Tapered, fractional AG+ aluminum mast with black anodized finish includes two pairs of swept spreaders attached with through-bars. The mast is a keel stepped configuration with adjustable mast step.�  The mast section shape was developed specifically for the� J/99� and includes a unique extruded track to accommodate standard luff car sliders or bolt rope on mainsail.�  Other features include standard tack reef hardware, boom and boom vang gooseneck fittings, long welded mast head crane with backstay termination, internal side shroud terminations, headstay attachment hardware, halyard sheaves.�  A watertight dam installed inside the mast tube with a drain hole located just above deck level.�  Steaming light wiring exits the mast above deck and leads through deck via watertight gland. Belowdeck mast includes tie-rod.�
