The new J111 coming soon from J Boats

How the J/111 will look next year
The J/111 is expected next year and it will be a modern one-design, with a large day-sailing cockpit, easy-to-handle sail plan, and 6' headroom below for weekending.

Since the announcement during the Annapolis Show,there has been some attention for this exciting new design from J/Boats. It appears evident the newly announced J/111 is striking a sensitive chord amongst sailors who are looking for that next-generation 36 footer.

Who does it have to content with? It's quite a hot sectors with Archambault and it's A-35, X-Yachts and it's X-35 and even perhaps the Santa Cruz 37. No UK pricing for the J/111 so far but in terms of statistics it certainly is a very close match to existing boats with almost exactly the same SA/D ( Power to Weight Ratio as the A35 from Archambault.

Taking the Americas Cup as our "yardstick" IE Power to Weight Ratio of 100 and Displacement / Length also 100 we can quickly determine how each sail boat compares to each other but also to the IACC Class as well.


Americas Cup IACC SA/D=100 D/L=100
IACC Class Information
X-Yacht 35 SA/D=123 D/L=49
Archambault A35 SA/D=112 D/L=45.9
J/111 SA/D=111 D/L=40.75
Santa Cruz 37 SA/D=126.65

Note: for SA/D ( Power to Weight Ratio a higher number is better ) For D/L Displacement over LWL, a lower number is better ) ie less weight / metre of hull length.
