Comfort Above and Below Ready to ESCAPE for a week or a quick overnight? Just pack up the family, food and drink and you can be self-sufficient on the J/99 exploring new destinations.

Dinner can be prepared in the galley (equipped with stove, frig, and large sink) and enjoyed around the main cabin table. Plot your next day’s route from the comfort of the sit-down, forward-facing navigation station. Let the versatility of the J/99 inspire new sailing experiences
