2025 J Boats J 7

The 2025 J Boats J 7 is a 23-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed as a modern daysailer, inspired by the larger J 9. Built for lake sailing and day cruising, it combines intuitive handling with genuine seakeeping ability. The boat's exceptional stability allows it to carry mainsail and small jib across a wide range of conditions, and it performs admirably under mainsail alone, expanding sailing opportunities when wind or weather might otherwise keep you ashore.

Control and simplicity define the J 7's layout. All sail controls are accessible from the cockpit, with an adjustable backstay for quick trim adjustments in variable conditions. The end-boom mainsheet system with bridle eliminates the need for a traveler, keeping the design straightforward. A self-bailing cockpit and efficient deck layout prioritize ease of use, whether you're sailing single-handed or with others.

The compact cabin provides gear storage and weather protection, while the cockpit offers comfort comparable to the larger J 9, comfortably accommodating five or more people. A roller furling system simplifies sail management. The open walk-through transom eases boarding and provides a spot to relax. The boat's single-point lift capability and light weight make it easy to trailer behind a mid-sized sport utility vehicle.
