When the familyrun performance builder JBoats decided to expand its horizons beyond its established offshore cruisers like the J/160, the result was a yacht of magnificent proportions and uncompromised speed. Conceived in 2004 and launched with initial hulls in 2005 and 2006, the semicustom J/65 emerged as the ultimate private sailing flagship. Designed by the fatherandson team of Rod and Al Johnstone, the J/65 was engineered to prove that a large, luxurious yacht could be easily managed shorthanded while maintaining the sparkling performance and responsive helm dynamics that define the brand’s smaller racing models. Constructed in Rhode Island by Pearson Composites, the J/65 represents a rare, highperformance masterpiece with only a tiny, highly exclusive fleet of documented hulls ever built.
