Sport Cruising and Family Sailing in a 36' Yacht
The J/112E is the newest addition to J/Boats’ “E” Series of versatile sport cruising yachts. The “E” is for elegance and evolution in performance cruising design. Why settle for anything less than sailing where and when you want to in comfort, style and speed? Dual Purpose Upwind is a Breeze – Downwind is a Blast
J/112E is a moderate displacement design with a high aspect, non-overlapping sailplan. This efficient set-up provides ample sail power in light winds (while most others are motoring), and easy to down-shift options when the wind builds. J’s are known for being able to sail well under mainsail alone, jib alone, and nearly any combination of mainsail and small jib. The J/112E is no exception. All one needs is a mainsail and 105% jib to enjoy easy, high performance sailing in winds from 5 to 25 knots. For downwind fun with minimal effort and crew, one can deploy the asymmetric spinnaker from the retractable carbon sprit. |

In the 2016 Chicago to Mackinac Race, the J/112E finished 2nd in her 40-boat section, and was reported to have hit sustained speeds of 17.6 knots under spinnaker in just 25 kts of breeze. In 2017, the J/112E sailed the Grand Prix du Crouesty in Crouesty, France, winning her IRC Class quite handily. Then, she placed 3rd in IRC class at SPI Ouest France. For 2018, it has been a banner year for the J/112E. The season started out with a 1st in SPI Ouest France Regatta in IRC 2 Class in Les Sables d'Olonne, France; then winning IRC B Class in the Warsash Spring Series in England; followed by a 1st in IRC 3 Class and Overall in the IRC European Championship in Cowes, England; then being crowned both IRC C Class and Overall Champion of the Offshore Sailing World Championship in The Hague, Netherlands racing under combined scores of IRC and ORC! If that were not enough, in recent United Kingdom events, two J/112E's took 1st and 2nd place IRC 4 Class at LENDY Cowes Week Regatta sailed on the Solent off Cowes; a J/112E won the J/CUP IRC Overall; and a J/112E won IRC 1 Class in the Around the Island race (65.0nm around the Isle of Wight). |
