J/33

Built by J/Boats

A 33 ft 6 in masthead sloop designed by Rodney S. Johnstone, built from 1988 to 1991. She carries 11 ft beam, 6 ft 2 in draft and 8,100 lb displacement. Hull form is fin with a spade rudder. About 51 were built.

J/Boats were founded in Rhode Island in 1977 by Rod and Bob Johnstone, and their designs have defined one-design keelboat racing in America ever since. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
