With news that 65 boats have now been built, it is clear there are more owners attracted to this new J/99 cruiser-racer design which combines excellent all-round racing performance with attractive interiors.

Inshore, the J/99 performs well around the windward/leeward race tracks, while offshore it will plane in strong winds.

All of this comes with a starting list price of €117, 000 ex VAT.

New J/99 video

A new J Composites produced video of a J/99 sailing two up at speed in France has been posted with some amazing shots. It certainly shows what it's like to push a J/99 in rough conditions...

IRC Performer

A J/99 also recently won her IRC division at Les Voiles de St Tropez. See results here.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
