The J/160 stands as a significant milestone in the evolution of the Johnstone family's design legacy, representing a definitive move into the realm of high-performance, blue-water cruising flagships. Launched in the mid-1990s, the J/160 was engineered to prove that a large, comfortable offshore yacht did not have to sacrifice the "spark" and agility for which J/Boats was famous. Measuring nearly 53 feet, it was the first J/Boat to be built using the patented SCRIMP (Seemann Composites Resin Infusion Molding Process) technology, which allowed for a superior strength-to-weight ratio by meticulously controlling the resin-to-fiber ratio in the hull and deck laminates.
