From the same team that launched the award-winning J/112E, J/122E, and J/45, comes an exciting new 40-footer that boldly pushes the envelope on performance (double-digit speeds!), versatility of use, and cruising comfort.

Once she's commissioned and tuned-up, we hope to get sailing photos and videos out soon. And, we also hope to get awesome interior pics of her amazingly roomy, comfortable interior!
