The J/40, our Best Overall Boat of the Year, exemplifies innovation, blending performance, comfort and timeless design.
This year’s fleet of nominees showcased innovation, international flair, and exciting trends shaping the future of cruising.
Johnstone received the 2023 Nathanael G. Herreshoff Trophy, which is US Sailing’s most prestigious award.
Race-ready and cruising compatible, the handsome and powerful J/45 presents an offshore sailor with options.
The sporty Beneteau First 27 turned in a winning performance dockside and out on the water.
Want to get there quickly and comfortably? Check out these new racer/cruisers from Beneteau, Grand Soleil, Italia, J/Boats and Jeanneau.
A group of friends pay homage to a great little boat aboard with a history of laughs and a well-stocked cooler.
J/Boats’ versatile new J/112E lets the cruising skipper dial in as much performance as desired.
J Boats, in tandem with Oceanvolt, has produced is first green boat. Come see it at the Newport Boat Show!
Aaron Hawkins decided to spend his last morning in Rhode Island sailing, simply for the pleasure of sailing. He guided a J/24 past the breakwater to let the bow dip into the waves and allowed the spray to wash over the deck. In less than a day he’d leave for the British Virgin Islands to assume his position as the first mate on Ocean Star, Sea|Mester’s 88-foot sail-training schooner.
In terms of cruising amenities, the shoal-draft J/108 picks up where its smaller sibling, the J/95, left off. “Boat Review” from our April 2012 issue.
