Cruiser-Racer

The J/99 is a modern performance cruiser-racer sailboat designed by J/Boats, combining speed, handling, and offshore capability in a compact 32.6-foot package. Designed by Alan Johnstone, the J/99 features a lightweight, high-performance hull with a powerful sail plan, a fixed carbon sprit for asymmetrical spinnakers. Built for both short-handed sailing and fully crewed racing, it has gained popularity in competitive circuits like the doublehanded offshore scene. Its responsive helm and efficient deck layout make it suitable for sailors seeking performance without sacrificing safety or ease of use.

Below deck, the J/99 maintains a functional and comfortable interior, ideal for weekend cruising or extended races. It offers six berths, a compact galley, a nav station, and a fully enclosed head, with a practical yet minimalist finish suited for its dual-purpose role. Storage is optimized for offshore gear, and the open layout allows for easy movement and gear handling. With a CE Category A rating for offshore sailing and a track record in events like the Fastnet and Sydney Hobart Race, the J/99 represents a compelling choice for sailors seeking a versatile and competitive 30-foot range sailboat.
