The J/70 represents the pinnacle of the modern sportboat movement, serving as the technical and spiritual successor to the legendary J/24. Launched in 2012, this 22.7-foot (6.93m) ramp-launchable keelboat was designed by Alan Johnstone to bridge the gap between high-performance racing and accessible family daysailing. It is the first slip-launchable performance keelboat from J/Boats, engineered specifically to be easily towed behind a standard SUV and launched via a hoist or ramp. With over 1,500 hulls delivered globally, it has established itself as the fastest-growing one-design keelboat class in the world, characterized by its carbon fiber rig, retractable vertical keel, and a powerful asymmetrical spinnaker flown from a retractable carbon bowsprit.
