22.75' JBoats J70

J70 Listing
This 2013 blemish-free J/70, hull #192 represents a rare opportunity to acquire an "as-delivered boat with remarkably low usage. Originally raced in just three Long Island Sound annual regional events before being stored indoors for a decade, the boat remains in its ready to race condition with zero damage history, and ready to roll in its factory trailer. The boat was purchased from the original owner in 2024 for use as a daysailer/club racer, but the present owner finds that advancing age, lack of motivation and storage room force a quick sale. Located on the hard under frame and cover at Montgomery, NY 12549
Specifications and Features
True to its delivery specifications, this J/70 features the high-performance components that established it as a global one-design leader:
Carbon Fiber Spars: Equipped with a deck-stepped lightweight carbon mast and boom by Southern Spars, designed for easy two-person rigging and stepping.
Retractable Sprit: Includes the factory carbon fiber bowsprit for flying the large asymmetrical spinnaker.
Lifting Keel: A vertical lifting keel (4.75' draft) with lead ballast and an internal leading-edge kelp cutter.
Standard Deck Hardware: A complete Harken and Ronstan package, including two primary winches with cam cleats and adjustable jib T-tracks.
Safety & Comfort: Features the signature 11-foot-long cockpit with open transom and padded backrests/lifelines for ergonomic helming and crew comfort.
A professional VC Offshore race bottom has been applied by McMichaels Yachts in 2025.
