There are worse fates to be endured in this workaday life than getting to sail a new J/Boat with Al Johnstone on a gorgeous fall day on Narragansett Bay Conditions were just about perfect bright sunshine with a brisk southwesterly blowing 1518 knots and looking to get brisker Al, who designed our ride, the new J/97, toldJ/9 is designed to perform better under one sail than most others under two And when you want an extra burst of speed, simply unroll the selftacking jib or the Code 0 attached to the optional fixed, carbon bowsprit Steering the J/9 is pure joy With both feet braced against the opposite cockpit seat, you can relax and enjoy the fingertip Sailing the J/99 was a delight, and very easy Admittedly she did have brand new 3Di carbon sails, these add to her cost and performance, but even so she'll be able to be sailed with the minimum of effort whatever sails you choose Neither boat nor crew were stressed while sailing at speeds few 32 foot cruisers reach
