J/122: Mini Review

Cruising World 2008 New Boat Showcase

Sep 12, 2007
By Jeremy McGeary (More articles by this author)
 J Boats introduced the J/122 at the Paris Boat Show last December, for two very good reasons. Paris delivers a heckuva cool atmosphere in which to make a debut and the boat was built in the J/Europe factory in Les Sables d'Olonne, a popular and prominent sailing venue on France's west coast.

In the mold of its siblings, the J/122 is a high-performance, sprit boat designed to be easy to sail, competitive on the racecourse, and capable of taking the family for a summer cruise. In appearance and proportions it is all J, moderate in beam by current standards and sporting a low, lean profile.

Accommodations are simple, traditional in layout, and complete in that all components—cabins, saloon, head, galley, and chart table—are of adequate if not generous proportions.

As have all its antecedents, the J/122 reflects J Boats' current thinking on how to get the most fun sailing.
