A long,  lean and decidedly sleek 40 footer, the 122 may be one of the narrowest  new racer-cruisers to be built in years, having a beam of 11 feet, 11  inches, and thus probably one of the most easily driven hulls around.<\/p>\n<p>During  initial sail trials in England last winter, the boat proved to be very  quick out of the blocks and capable of high sustained speeds on all  angles. Since then the new 122 has shone in regattas on both sides of  the Atlantic. Since the Paris introduction, more than 45 boats have been  ordered.<\/p>\n<p>The boat has many unique und  useful features on deck, including the carbon fiber sprit for flying an  asymmetrical spinnaker, a carbon fiber Hall Spars mast, a \u201cdock box\u201d  seat in the transom that can be removed when lightening ship for race  days, and the extra-large destroyer wheel, which makes steering from  both sides of the cockpit a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Down below, owners can have a  two-cabin, two head arrangement or a three-cabin, one head plan. With  either choice, the saloon remains the same with a large nav station and  chart table, a very useful U-shaped galley and bench settees on either  side of a large centerline table.<\/p>\n<p>J\/Boats has long set a standard  for high quality, high performance, dual-purpose boats that really  claim a lot of silver at the major racing events and provide warm,  comfortable accommodations for the family cruises in between events. And  their boats are blue-water capable, a point underscored by the recent  victory in the Transpac by a J\/125.<\/p>\n<p>Specifications: LOA 40\u20190\u201d; LWL 34\u20197\u201d; Beam 11\u201911\u201d; Draft 7\u20194\u201d; Displacement 14,800 lbs.; Sail Area 865 sq. ft.<\/p>\n<p>For more information log on to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jboats.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.jboats.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J\/122 \u2022 The new J\/122, built by J\/ Europe in France, was introduced at the 2006 Paris Boat Show and then introduced in North America at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boat-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2560\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
