Rod Johnstone’s latest design taps into a new market segment for the Rhode Island-based company: shoal-draft boats. The versatile J/95 has both twin rudders and a centerboard, neither of which has been seen on J/Boat before. With the ballasted board up the boat draws just 3 feet, while remaining perfectly controllable under full sail. The J/Boats performance ethos remains intact; the boat is fast, agile and fun to sail, though the accommodations belowdecks are bare-bones basic. LOA 31ft 2in, LWL 28ft 4in, beam 10ft, draft 5ft 5in, displacement 6,000 lbs. sail area 450 sq. ft., design J/Boats, builder C&C Fiberglass Components. J/Boats: 401 846 8410
