Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

The J/45, released by J/Boats in 2021, targets sailors seeking high-performance sailing characteristics alongside the interior volume and comfort typical of French production cruisers. The 45-foot vessel features a single-rudder configuration and a deep, high-aspect blade designed to maintain control at high heel angles while ensuring maneuverability in marinas. Performance-oriented deck hardware includes end-boom sheeting with a cockpit-floor traveler, an inner forestay for a secondary headsail, and low-friction rings for jib trimming. A 2024 cruising edition offers a 6-foot draft lead keel and a carbon spar package with a 64'5" air draft, specifically optimized for the Intracoastal Waterway. The hull design balances weight by placing the water tank in the bow to offset the typical aft-loading of cruising gear. While the interior joinery prioritizes weight savings over heavy woodwork, the layout includes a spacious owner’s cabin, a large galley, and a dedicated navigation station. The J/45 serves as a performance-focused alternative to mainstream cruisers for owners who prioritize sailing speed and trim capability.
