If your considering a new Sportboat, want to join an active One Design fleet or looking for an amazing daysailor you need to take the time to look at the J/70. The jib simply rolls up on a Harken under deck furler!” The stock non skid grippiness is just about right… The helm is surprisingly light and balanced for a transom hung rudder and we could easily tell when the skipper felt over powered on the runs and were able to ease the vang or spin sheet before he lost control. “Did I mention this is a comfortable boat? Huge cockpit, all the controls within easy reach and nothing to trip over on the cockpit floor.

“The J-70 is a special boat at a critical time and she likely owes her sportiness to the “Fast is Fun” cult ULDB’s of the 70’s and 80’s,” reports a recent San Francisco Big Boat Series J/70 sailor, Andy Schwenk. We have a J/70 in the water, call for a demo and viewing. This J/70 is hull number 81, in great shape and ready to sail, Quantum sails, jib sock, trailer box, bottom paint.
