First Look at the New J/121

By George Day · On September 11, 2017

The new J/121 is a 40’ offshore speedster that can be day raced or distance sailed by just 5 or less crew… the best short-handed J ever….

The first J/121 was launched in Rhode Island this week. Within 15 minutes the Southern Spars carbon deck- stepped mast was installed, shrouds pinned and the next few hours the rigging systems were assembled.

By late afternoon, the design and build team, several suppliers and the new owner, were rewarded with a beautiful first sail on Narragansett Bay. The J/121 took off with the very first puff once the new carbon North Sails were raised, and even with twice the normal number of crew onboard the boat responded immediately. Read more.
