When J/Boats shakes up fast-cruiser standards

July 23rd, 2021 news

🇬🇧 With 45 years of experience in sailboat design and millions of miles covered on all oceans, this new unit has succeeded in astonishing all J/Boats teams!

This daring gamble to bring together unparalleled comfort (modern and bright interior, high-end upholstery and finishes, etc.), large interior volumes (very large storage capacities, volume of living spaces, etc.) while reducing the wet surface and the lowest weight in its class has been fulfilled!

It was a real challenge for the shipyard and the brand to offer a 45″ unit capable of bringing together so many criteria of comfort, volume and finish, surpassing current fast-cruiser standards. The J/45 offers the maximum comfort to sail, in breeze as in light air, in total serenity and safety! The first performances under sail are very positive. It has already exceeded all of our expectations (double-digit speeds downwind and easy to reach wind speed in light winds). The promise to surpass the standard fast cruiser codes is already fulfilled!” Specifies Frédéric Bouvier, J/Composites sales director.

As for comfort, J Composites joined forces with Isabelle Racoupeau for the interior design. She was able to bring to bear her vast experience in the cruising yacht domain to maximise comfort and elegance aboard the new J/45. The result is an interior beyond compare where natural light accentuates a resolutely modern design that affords both comfort and functionality whilst sailing.

Designed to reproduce the well-being of your home, the new J / 45 leaves no stone unturned to provide you with all the comfort you need:

– A very large forward owner’s cabin, full width

– A spacious, warm and comfortable saloon

– A living area open to the outside, between sky and sea, which allows natural light to subtly illuminate the interior

– A friendly U-shaped kitchen open to the living space. Designed for cooking at sea.

The consistency and ergonomics of the interior of a J/Boats is no longer to be proven.

📆 The J/45 will be present a the Cannes Yachting Festival from the 7 to the 12th September. To discover it and book your visit, please contact your nearest expert.

 

 

🇫🇷 Avec 45 ans d’expérience dans la conception de voilier de régate et de croisière et des millions de milles parcourus sur tous les océans, cette nouvelle unité J a réussi à époustoufler toutes les équipes J/Boats !

Ce pari osé de s’affranchir du terme compromis en rassemblant à la fois un confort inégalé (intérieur moderne et lumineux, sellerie et finitions haut de gamme…), de larges volumes intérieurs (très grandes capacités de rangement, volume des espaces de vie…) tout en réduisant la surface mouillée et affichant le poids le plus bas de sa catégorie est d’ores et déjà réussi !

« C’était un véritable défi pour le chantier et la marque de proposer une unité de 45’’ capable de rassembler autant de critère de confort, de volume et de finition, en surpassant les standards actuels du fast-cruiser. Le J/45 offre le maximum de confort pour naviguer, dans la brise comme dans le petit temps, en toute sérénité et sécurité ! Les premières performances sous voile sont très concluantes. Il a d’ores et déjà dépassé toutes nos attentes (des vitesses à 2 chiffres au portant et une facilité à atteindre la vitesse du vent dans le petit temps). La promesse de surpasser les codes standards du fast-cruiser est déjà remplie ! » précise Frédéric Bouvier, directeur commercial J/Composites.

Quant au confort, J Composites s’est associé à Isabelle Racoupeau pour le design intérieur. Elle a apporté toute son expérience dans le domaine du yachting pour maximiser le confort et l’élégance à bord du J/45. Il en résulte un intérieur incomparable où la lumière naturelle et indirecte vient souligner un design résolument moderne au service du confort et de la fonctionnalité en navigation.

Pensé pour reproduire le bien-être de chez soi, le nouveau J/45 ne néglige aucun détail pour vous assurer tout le confort dont vous avez besoin :

– Une très grande cabine propriétaire avant, pleine largeur

– Un carré spacieux, chaleureux et confortable

– Une zone de vie ouverte vers l’extérieur, entre ciel et mer, qui permet à la lumière naturelle d’éclairer subtilement l’intérieur

– Une cuisine en U conviviale et ouverte sur l’espace de vie. Conçue pour cuisiner en mer.

La cohérence et l’ergonomie de l’intérieur des voiliers J/ en mer n’est plus à prouver.

📆 Le J/45 sera exposé au Cannes Yachting Festival du 7 au 12 septembre prochain. Pour le découvrir et réserver votre visite, contactez  l’expert le plus proche de chez vous.
