El nuevo J70 ya navega.


El barco es precioso, y tiene pinta de ser bastante más moderno que el J80, a ver si ahora no se pasan con el precio.J70-Sea-Trials-3.jpg

We’re very pleased to report that thanks to an incredible weather window J/70 hull #1 splashed (ahead of schedulle) for some initial sea-trialing on Narragansett Bay earlier this week. In a few words… a sweet ride! She has jets upwind and down, is stable, easy to handle and a joy to steer. Many more details to follow as we continue internal evaluations and lock in final hardware and rigging specs with suppliers, etc… Sailmaker trials begin next week, with some of the top one-design sailmakers in the industry traveling to RI to put the first two boats through their paces and lock in the final class sail sizes and fine tune their sail shapes.
