GO FORTH AND CONQUER THE OCEAN.

J/Composites and J/Boats are pleased to introduce the NEW J/36, the evolution of the much-loved J/112E, a design that’s been winning hearts and silver around the world since launching in 2016: Double winner of the ORC World Championship, Winner of the ORC European Championship, Winner of the IRC European Championship, Winner of the Trophée Atlantique in IRC , Triple winner of Cowes Week, Double winner of Round the Island (UK)…

AWAKEN THE SAILOR IN YOU

The new name comes with a new deck plan, new cockpit, and J/40-inspired styling to provide more cruising comfort and sailing versatility to meet the needs and expectations of today’s sailing family.  With the NEW J/36, legendary performance meets true cruising comfort in a modern 36-footer that’s easy to sail and easy to own.

The evolution of the J/36 lies in its newly designed deck plan. The cockpit floor space is expanded with a twin wheel configuration, allowing easier fore/aft access and same-level transom boarding.  The same refined ergonomics that make the J/36 ideal for family cruising also improve crew efficiency during racing maneuvers.  The J/36 retains the easy-to-manage sail plan (main and small jib) and sleek hull/underbody of the J/112E, a design whose unique ability to sail well in both light and heavy winds has set it apart from other modern-day cruisers.

The newly designed companionway entrance provides a smooth transition between the cockpit and below.  The J/36’s interior features bright and comfortable spaces with numerous handholds and practical storage spaces – all designed for cruising life aboard.

 

The J/36 joins the J/40 and J/45 to complete the new performance cruising/racing range.  Whether you aspire to compete or simply relax, the J/36 is ready to deliver everything you might expect from an uncompromising performance sailboat.
