The J/Boats J/88 is a high-performance 29-foot (8.9-meter) sailboat designed for sailors seeking a blend of speed, simplicity, and versatility. Its lightweight, carbon-reinforced hull and efficient sail plan make it highly responsive and fast, excelling in both coastal and offshore racing. With a large, easily managed mainsail and a retractable bowsprit for asymmetrical spinnakers, the J/88 delivers exhilarating downwind performance, while maintaining a stable and well-balanced helm. It’s designed to be raced with a small crew, making it accessible for both competitive sailors and weekend enthusiasts looking for a fun, spirited sailing experience.

The interior of the J/88 is functional and minimalistic, providing just enough comfort for overnight cruising or short getaways. It includes basic amenities such as a small galley, a forward v-berth, and a couple of settee berths in the main cabin. The open, uncluttered layout below deck maximizes space while keeping weight low for optimal racing performance. Overall, the J/88 strikes a fine balance between race-ready performance and weekend cruising practicality, making it an appealing choice for sailors who prioritize speed without sacrificing comfort entirely.
