J/70 Speedster Smokin Hot!
(Newport, RI)- J's first ramp-launchable keelboat - the 22.75 ft J/70 Speedster- is ready to launch a deliciously hot fiesta of fun-in-the-sun. It's fine-entry bow and beautifully curving, flared hull shape ends in a powerful transom that simply defines speed, fun and control (sweet curves, eh!). Speed on all points of sail- that J-trademark capability to sail equally as well upwind as well as fly off-the-wind. J/70's pedigree follows the new 111's powerful all-around performance, with similar horsepower to weight and wetted surface ratios. A Southern Spar all-carbon rig package (mast/spreaders, boom, sprit) ensure high performance and righting moments.

The J/70 master hull plug is finished and hull molding is underway. The hull form was initially cut with an extremely precise 5-axis robotic milling machine and then faired and long-boarded to match hull fairing templates. The master hull plug has been mirror-finished to millimeter tolerances, assuring sailors of strict, international one-design sailing. The project timeline has two J/70's sailing before the end of 2011. Full production is expected to begin by January 2012 with the first shipments to North America and Europe arriving by late February/early March. Due to overwhelmingly interest worldwide, plans are already in place to build additional tooling to assist with the ramp-up as well to fast-track a European start-up in 2012 for additional international sailing events.

Be sure to speak to your J/Dealers soon. J/70 is on-track to take the world by storm in 2012, a boat that is easy-to-sail, high performance and exciting to sail. Yet, a stable enough sailboat for family and friends weekend and beer-can sailing. Most importantly, it's built to last for high R.O.I. on your sailing dollar.

J/70 Speedster Update - March 2, 2012

(Newport, RI)- The family pocket rocketship is nearly ready to launch! The new "baby J" is looking sleek, sweet and sexy. Sweeping, curvy lines. Powerful, firm buttocks. Knife-like entry to part the seas. More than enough room to accommodate a crew of three in the cockpit. What's not to like about this ramp-launchable, trailerable sailing machine? J/70 has something for everyone-- easy-to-store, easy-to-launch anywhere there's a driveway and a boat ramp; comfortable cockpit with lifelines for safety; small cabin with enough room below for seating and even a roomy v-berth (caravanning & camping anyone?); stiff and fast upwind; lights-up downwind, blazing a smokin' wake of foam in its after-burners. Guaranteed it will be hard to wipe that cheshire-cat grin off your face after a quick tour on this sweet little ride.

The first two J/70s are quickly taking shape at CCF Composites and all systems are "go" for launching and sea-trials later this month. Work begins shortly on a second set of production molds and the production schedule is on track for subsequent hulls to complete starting in mid/late April. European tooling is on its way across the northern Atlantic to Les Sables d'Olonne, France.

J/70 customer demo sails can be booked now through your local J/Dealer. Starting April 14th we will be offering customer demos in Rhode Island on J/70 #1. Meanwhile J/70 #2 heads south for display/ demonstration at Charleston Race Week, April 19-22. Don Trask (djtboats@aol.com or ph#704-799-1830) is leading this charge and all J/Dealers are encouraged to invite clients who are attending CRW to check out the J/70 on site. Next on the calendar is the Annapolis NOOD Regatta May 4-6, where Northpoint Yacht Sales will be displaying the J/70, contact Ken Comerford (ken@northpointyachtsales.com) or Dave Malkin (David@northpointyachtsales.com) or ph#410-280-2038 for more details.

From Stu Johnstone:

"Great news! J/70 is rolling. We should be over 100 boats sold by year-end 2012, the best intro ever for any J model. Europe is on track to get rolling as well in Les Sables d'Olonne, France."
