The J/88 serves as a pivotal bridge in the J/Boats lineup, designed by Alan Johnstone to fill the performance gap between the ubiquitous J/70 speedster and the offshorecapable J/111. Launched in 2013, this 29foot "family speedster" was conceptualized as a versatile platform that could provide highoctane onedesign racing on Saturdays and relaxed family daysailing on Sundays. Unlike many of its smaller siblings that rely on outboard engines, the J/88 incorporates a 14hp Yanmar inboard diesel with a saildrive, signaling its intent as a more substantial, "real" yacht while maintaining a trailerable 9.5foot beam. According to the official J/Boats design brief, the goal was to create a boat that balances the thrill of a modern sportboat with the stability and security of a fixedkeel cruiser.
