J/80 does it all, with thrilling 15-knot rides under spinnaker or relaxed sunset cruises with mainsail only. SAILING WORLD rated J/80 as easier to handle, less intimidating, safer, and better suited for sailing offshore than other modern sport boats tested. If you would like to expand your sailing horizons with a modern sport boat outside protected harbors and lakes, there's only one choice: the J/80.

Be sailing in 3 minutes. Take off the boom cover and hoist the mainsail, and cast off. You're now sailing faster than other boats with full canvas. Ready for more speed? Uncleat the furler line and pull in the jib sheet. Presto, now you're really flying. Time for the afterburners? Pull the sprit launch control line, hoist the asymmetric spinnaker, and trim. Now you're planning!
