The J/70 one-design speedster has become the world's fastest growing sportsboat with over 1,400 launched since 2012. Today, there are 14,500+ J/Boats, ranging from the International J/22 to the J/65 and ranging in style from one-designs to racers, cruisers to daysailers and, of course, the ubiquitous J sprit boats- J/Boats' innovation in 1992 for easy-to-use asymmetric spinnakers and retractable carbon bowsprits. J/Boats has an enviable record in sailing for innovation and designs as evidenced by: 20 Boat-of-the-Year Awards; the SAIL Award for Industry Leadership; two American Sailboat Hall of Fame Designs; and five World Sailing recognized international keelboat classes (J/22, J/24, J/70, J/80 and J/111) which hold annual World Championships.
