28' J Boats J/9 Daysailers

Manufacturer Provided Description

Responding to a growing need amongst sailors for a more comfortable, simpler and easy-to-own daysailer, J/Boats is excited to announce a sleekÃ?  28 footer (the ââ?¬Å?J/9ââ?¬ï¿½) with perhaps the most comfortable cockpit and easiest-to-manage sailplan in this size range.Ã? 

The J/9 cockpit has four great corner seats to nestle into and enjoy the day. With friends and family aboard, everyone can find the perfect place to relax. And access aboard has never been easier. A swim platform behind the cockpit allows walk-through boarding, and on those downwind sails home, you can cool off by dragging your feet in the water. Sailing the J/9 is as easy as hoisting the mainsail and trimming the sheet. Why make it any more complicated? Look around on the water and youâ��ll notice 80% of the sailboats are sailing with only one sail. The answer is keep it simple!�  One tiller, one sheet. The big difference with the J/9 is you will be sailing with one sail more comfortably and quicker than most others with two sails or under motor. Ready for the afterburners? Simply unroll the jib and enjoy effortless, stable & smooth sailing from the comforts of the best J/Boats cockpit ever.�
