Qué cubre este vídeo

The J/7 is a 7-meter daysailer positioned as a more family-friendly and affordable alternative to the J/70.1:09 Built in China to keep costs down, it carries a complete price of approximately 700,000 Norwegian kroner including sails and a sun awning — roughly 300,000 kroner less than a comparable J/70 package.1:09 The hull is wider and heavier than the J/70, with a fixed fin keel drawing just over one meter, and the extra ballast-to-displacement ratio makes it a stiff boat.1:09 The cockpit fits seven people comfortably. Below-deck space exists but is described as equally spartan to the J/70, making it suited to day sailing rather than cruising. Standard sail inventory is mainsail and jib; a bowsprit is fixed, and a gennaker — nearly as large as the J/70's — is available as an add-on. Thomas Nilsson speaks with Magne Klam, the Norwegian J Boats importer, who suggests the J/7 as a replacement for aging Yngling keelboats kept at Norwegian coastal cabins and as a sailing-school boat. Sailors who have tried it report surprising liveliness despite the added weight.
