J/Boats Unveils The Sleek New 28-footer “J/9”
Responding to a growing need amongst sailors for a comfortable, simple and easy-to-own daysailer, J/Boats announces a sleek new 28 footer (the “J/9”) with one of the most comfortable cockpit and easiest-to-manage sailplan in this size range.
“ With the J/9, we set out to reimagine how to make sailing easier, more relaxing and more inclusive, ” said Jeff Johnstone of J/Boats . “ This is a boat you can sail by yourself in just a few minutes, or bring along the whole gang with plenty of room to spare. Escaping to the water and enjoying shared family adventure has never been more important, and the J/9 is the perfect platform. ”
The J/9 cockpit has four corner seats to nestle into and enjoy the day. With friends and family aboard , everyone can find the perfect place to relax. A swim platform behind the cockpit allows walk-through boarding, and on those downwind sails home, you can cool off by dragging your feet in the water.
Sailing the J/9 is as easy as hoisting the mainsail and trimming the sheet. Why make it any more complicated? Look around on the water and you’ll notice 80% of the sailboats are sailing with only one sail. The answer is keep it simple! One tiller, one sheet.
The big difference with the J/9 is you will be sailing with one sail more comfortably and quicker than most others with two sails or under motor. Ready for the afterburners? Simply unroll the jib and enjoy effortless, stable & smooth sailing from the comforts of the best J/Boats cockpit ever.
The plan is for the first J/9 to launch in Spring 2021.

J/9 seeks to reimagine sailing
Published on November 21st, 2020 by Editor -->
The cancellation of fall boat shows denied the J/Boats Company the opportunity to shock us with their latest offering, so this statement from the group will have to suffice:
Responding to a growing need amongst sailors for a more comfortable, simpler and easy-to-own daysailer, J/Boats is excited to announce a sleek new 28-footer (the “J/9”) with perhaps the most comfortable cockpit and easiest-to-manage sailplan in this size range.
“With the J/9, we set out to reimagine how to make sailing easier, more relaxing and more inclusive,” said Jeff Johnstone of J/Boats. “This is a boat you can sail by yourself in just a few minutes, and also bring along the whole gang with plenty of room to spare. Escaping to the water and enjoying shared family adventure has never been more important, and the J/9 is the perfect platform.”
The J/9 cockpit has four great corner seats to nestle into and enjoy the day. With friends and family aboard, everyone can find the perfect place to relax. And access aboard has never been easier. A swim platform behind the cockpit allows walk-through boarding, and on those downwind sails home, you can cool off by dragging your feet in the water.
Sailing the J/9 is as easy as hoisting the mainsail and trimming the sheet. Why make it any more complicated? Look around on the water and you’ll notice 80% of the sailboats are sailing with only one sail. The answer is keep it simple! One tiller, one sheet.
The big difference with the J/9 is you will be sailing with one sail more comfortably and quicker than most others with two sails or under motor. Ready for the afterburners? Simply unroll the jib and enjoy effortless, stable & smooth sailing from the comforts of the best J/Boats cockpit ever.
The daysailing community has not benefited from a dedicated design from J/Boats since the award-winning J/100 (33’), which remains one of the most sought-after J’s created. The NEW J/9 offers the cockpit comfort and sailing features of a larger boat, at a price most will find competitive to the best brokerage offerings.
From Scuttlebutt editor Craig Leweck: Stu Johnstone, who leads the marketing and business development for J/Boats, took no time to let me know the J/9 is a boat tailor-made for me. Knowing how I adore our Alerion Express 28, it is not hard to find the similarities between the two boats.
While we appreciate the Alerion’s fantail for random storage and daysailing perch, getting out of the water is struggle, a problem the J/9 has nicely resolved. And when I mentioned to Stu how I like the clean look of our Alerion with no stanchions and pulpits, he noted how of the first ten J/9s ordered, more than half opted to also go without for a visually cleaner and prettier look.
When asked about the significance of the J/9 name, Stu noted how “it came from a desire to separate this new line of daysailers and keep it simple. This is the first one in the range of perhaps four daysailers. We have a number of orders for larger ones already.”
The hull plug and deck plug are completed, with the hull mold also completed. With options for auxiliary power options to include diesel inboard, electric inboard, or outboard (gas or electric), the plan is for the first J/9 to launch in Spring 2021.
As much as I love all the varnished wood on the Alerion, we do have to park the boat a couple times a year for the varnish team to spend our money. Looks like the J/9 resolved that issue too.

J/Boats has been honored with 20+ Sailing World/ Cruising World Boat-of-the-Year Awards, the SAIL Award for Industry Leadership; two American Sailboat Hall of Fame Designs; and five WORLD SAILING International One-Design keelboat classes (J/22, J/24, J/70, J/80 and J/111).

Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
