The Award-winning J/46.. an Elegant Yacht for Effortless Cruising
Presale survey available to qualified buyers
J/46 may be the only sailing yacht of its size not requiring professional crew
to sail at designed performance levels…..or to maintain. Two people can easily
manage her upwind and down to achieve the same 8-knot passage-making speeds
under sail that is possible when motoring with a 76hp diesel auxiliary. The joy
of sailing the perfect boat is, after all, a goal we believe every owner
ultimately seeks. To ensure that good sailing days are spent sailing rather than
scrubbing and varnishing, J/46 is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Her
exquisite joiner work is protected from the sun below where its beauty can be
preserved.
Great boats don’t happen overnight. Helped by new materials and techniques, they
evolve from the joint experiences of designer, builder and owners to become
state-of-the-art. J/46 is such a vessel, inheriting the proven hull shape of the
J/44, an offshore blue water classic, having won the Fastnet, Sydney-Hobart,
NYYC Queen’s Cup and Trans-Atlantic races. J/44 is the only Class of yacht ever
to be given its own class start by the Cruising Club of America in the
Newport-Bermuda Race. To create the J/46, a foot of sailing length is added for
speed; a transom swim/boarding platform for convenience; a carbon fiber mast and
low VCG 6.2’ shoal draft keel for more stability; and a resin-infused, composite
hull and deck for greater strength. Belowdecks, the choice was clear, use the
same beautifully varnished cherry or teak joinerwork, entertainment center and
styling so highly acclaimed in our deluxe J/160.
J/46 is a “maxi-Ditch” yacht, the tallest yacht that can fit under the bridges
of the Intra-Coastal Waterway. Yet she is non-intimidating. A high
length-to-beam ratio on the waterline of this sea-kindly yacht significantly
improves tracking offshore in large waves and makes sailplan balance less
critical. J/46 sails with either main or jib only, always responding predictably
to a light touch on the helm. Sail power with good stability allows cruising
with working jib rather than large genoa. That’s less work for the crew and
improved visibility for the person on the helm. J Boats’ unique spinnaker system
makes downwind sailing possible for two. A modern asymmetric spinnaker attaches
to the top of the anchor roller, is contained within a cockpit-controlled
snuffer, and is stored, ready to use, in the bow locker. The spinnaker is
hoisted to the masthead, 2’ above the headstay intersect, leaving space for the
snuffer to shift on a jibe. Jibing is then easy. One simply lets off one
spinnaker sheet and pulls in the other.
