People say the J/22 is the best sailing boat
they've ever been on, including other J's. It's
responsive, stable with its fixed lead keel and safe, as
much fun to single-hand with main only as it is to plane
under spinnaker in 18 knots of wind.
J/22 at 1800 lbs. can be towed behind an SUV and
be launched on the local yacht club hoist. With its
easy-to-rig, deck-stepped mast, you can be from trailer
to sailing in 30 minutes. The key to J/22's
success as a training boat is durability. Hulls and
decks are built with Baltek cored laminates to withstand
years of hard use. 12-15 year old boats routinely win
major J/22 championships. You'll find the newest
J/22s are even easier to maintain with stainless
handrails and white composite toe-rails.
Since its introduction in 1983, the J/22 has
blossomed into an International class now with 1,550+
boats sailing in 65 fleets in 18 countries. Over 130
boats sailed in the 2004 World Championship. On the
merits of its sailing characteristics, widespread
popularity and small crew number (3-4), J/22
continues to be the boat of choice and was again used
for the 2005 Rolex International Women's Keelboat
Championship in Annapolis, MD.
