J/70 Being Readied For NYYC USQS!
on Friday March 23, 2012 12:25PM
FBYC's Team will sail half the races, and, hopefully, all of the finals of the NYYC USQS, in the new J/70. The J/70 (22.75 feet) is J/Boats' first ramp-launchable keelboat - designed to fulfill the growing need for an easy-to-own, high performance one-design that is exciting to sail, stable enough sailboat for the family and built to last.
A J/70 is on order by an FBYC member for delivery this summer for the FBYC Team's use. In the last week several sailmakers have sea trialed the J/70 in Narragansett Bay.
