2026 J Boats J/9

J Boats' new 28-foot J/9 is a fiberglass sloop built for daysailing with an emphasis on comfort and straightforward handling. The design prioritizes an unusually spacious cockpit and a manageable sail plan that keeps the boat accessible for owners who value ease of use alongside performance.

The J/9 is powered by a gasoline engine and carries the pedigree of J Boats' approach to modern sailing craft—thoughtful proportions and practical engineering for a size category where many boats sacrifice livability for complexity.
