J/Composites and J/Boats are pleased to announce the New J/40, an offshore-capable, high performance cruising yacht capable of double-digit speeds with exceptional comfort, both in port and at sea. From the same team that launched the award-winning J/112E, J/122 and J/45, comes an exciting new 40-footer that boldly pushes the envelope on performance, versatility of use, and cruising comfort.
The pure joy of sailing and the thrill of steering a well-balanced, stable, high performing sailboat, are part of the J/Boats DNA. The New J/40 doesn't fit into a specific category or rule, except the rule of the sea, the ultimate rule that rewards boats with predictable, smooth motion that can quickly adapt to changing conditions with minimal effort by the crew. Like other J's before it, the New J/40 is designed to track smoothly through waves, nearly steering itself. The simple but versatile, high-aspect sailplan allows almost any combination of sail (mainsail only, jib only, reefed main with inner jib, etc. ) for comfortable cruising, while also able to be optimized for signature events such as Rolex Fastnet, Newport-Bermuda, Transpac and Chicago-Mac.
With inspiration drawn from the J/45, the interior design and styling is by Isabelle Racoupeau in collaboration with J/Composites. Beautifully varnished, handcrafted, natural wood (solid and veneer) is featured throughout, with a design priority placed on natural light, attractive sightlines, and the overall feeling of space. The standard 3-cabin, 1-head layout maximizes sleeping accommodations and is ideal for owners sailing with a larger family or crew, and for high-side sleeping while offshore racing or rallying. The 2-cabin, 2 head layout maximizes cruising storage and is perfect for all-around family sailing, and extended cruising with one or two couples.
The J/Composites Shipyard (in the Vendee region of France) is a world leader for high quality, sandwich/infusion construction - the first European builder to adopt resin infusion molding technology in the mid 90's. The J/Composites commitment to precise weight control on large composite parts is critical to meet important design objectives for stability, durability and performance. The New J/40 is the only 40-footer on the market with a fully infused hull, deck, structural grid, and main bulkhead. The custom-engineered structure provides exceptional hull stiffness and optimal strength-to-weight, without sacrificing the comfort of the living spaces below.
