BENEFIT FROM CUTTING EDGE EQUIPMENT
The strengths of this yacht primarily rely on its latest generation equipment, with a carbon rig and top of the range construction technology, which make it lightweight and stiff with great longevity.
SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE
When the weather is fine, why wait to make the most of it? A small sportsboat measuring 7m, the J/70 is light on the helm, easy to transport and simple to launch and rig. Her keel is retractable, meaning she’s easy to tow with the reduced height on the trailer.
BE PART OF A PERFECT SPORTS ORGANISATION
Its small manufacturing tolerances are a guarantee of sporting equity for all. The network of owner classes offers events of a regional and international scope in each country.
DEMAND RELIABILITY
Even when used intensively, the build quality of the J/70 guarantees unrivalled resilience and solidity, which translates as a high resale value. Thanks to a genuine ‘racer’ culture, a constant eye for detail, highly selective materials and strict production control, this boat is bordering on perfection in operating terms.
MAKE THE MOST OF THE ERGONOMIC COCKPIT AND CABIN
The cockpit is clean, well designed, uncluttered and easy to move around. With her small cabin, you’re protected from bad weather and also all the equipment for the boat and the team can be easily stowed and transported inside. The outboard engine can be fully stowed down below while sailing.
GET INTO RACING
The characteristics of the J/70 make her accessible to all. She is perfectly suited to crews of all ages and genders, with light sheet loadings and great cockpit design, layout and equipment. The strict rules on ‘no hiking’ mean that those who don’t take part in intensive training can still easily compete against more honed crews.
