Class History
The J/22 is a pleasure to own, trailerable and fun to sail. With its easy-to-rig deck stepped mast, crew can get from trailer to sailing in 30 minutes. This weight sensitive boat appeals to all ages and skill levels, with 12 to 15 year old boats routinely winning major championships. Below, two deck layouts help access sheets and control lines so crew can optimize weight placement and avoid movement.
