Quick Look: J/122

  • By Jeremy McGeary
  • Updated: September 12, 2007

j122 sailboat

J Boats introduced the J/122 at the Paris Boat Show last December, for two very good reasons. Paris delivers a heckuva cool atmosphere in which to make a debut and the boat was built in the J/Europe factory in Les Sables d’Olonne, a popular and prominent sailing venue on France’s west coast.

In the mold of its siblings, the J/122 is a high-performance, sprit boat designed to be easy to sail, competitive on the racecourse, and capable of taking the family for a summer cruise. In appearance and proportions it is all J, moderate in beam by current standards and sporting a low, lean profile.

Accommodations are simple, traditional in layout, and complete in that all components-cabins, saloon, head, galley, and chart table-are of adequate if not generous proportions.

As have all its antecedents, the J/122 reflects J Boats’ current thinking on how to get the most fun sailing.

J/122 Review

j122 sailboat

J-Boats’ latest offering the J/122 slots in between the hugely popular J/109 and 133, and is already shaping up to be a sales success, but how does she handle? Andi Robertson found out…

j122 sailboat

Just occasionally a boat test can seem almost superfluous. Bringing a new model into a well-proven line to plug the brand’s gap in the market is usually a passport to a degree of success.

But there is plenty to get wrong. Pitching against a dominant, successful model can be a hiding to nothing, especially in the IRC arena. The new J/122 was launched at the back end of last year and debuted in its shiny glory at Paris and the London Boat Show.

Even there the level of interest was enough to suggest J-Boats Europe have another best-seller on their hands, but the subsequent sales have had the builders in France going flat out to keep up with demand.

Fitting neatly between the eminently successful 35ft J/109, which continues to sell by the truck- load, and the 43ft J/133, the 122 is a pure bred IRC-led design which learns from the successes of the other.

Even compared with the 109 which has sold 340 worldwide and 76 in the UK and Ireland, and the 133 which has sold slightly more sedately, the 122 is already a success, in spite of the fact that it has not raced in earnest yet.

In Europe, orders are full until August or September when a second mould comes on stream. They are already turning out one boat a week from the D’Olonnes facility in France’s Vendée region, which is impressive for a 40- footer. The message is if you want one for next year’s Rolex Commodores’ Cup then you will need to be quick.

What is even more remarkable is that the US allocation has been sold into next year. Twenty boats have been sold already, and seven will race at Block Island Race Week.

Presently somewhere between nine and 11 boats are already sold in the UK and Ireland, with the third due to arrive in Britain imminently. The reality is that it will be late summer or early autumn before a really competitive boat will hit the campaign trail.

The regatta debut for the design was at Easter at Spi Ouest. A tight schedule meant both new boats were under-prepared, according to J-Boats Europe’s Didier Le Moal, but they came away with a respectable third and fourth in an IRC class of 46 boats, racing off an IRC handicap of 1.094. First was Gery Trentesaux’s special Beneteau First 44.7 racing off 1.107 and second the Holmatro team crewed Grand Soleil 44.7.

According to Le Moal the 122 was especially quick and competitive upwind but they let themselves down a bit elsewhere.

Design and development

The 122 benefits from what has been learned with the 109 and 133 as well as being a wellproportioned boat. It will sell simply because it is the 40ft IRC J-Boat, but it is also the best-looking of the three.

The 109 is effective but not especially pretty. The 122 benefits from having the aft sections more elegantly drawn out, appears to have slightly less freeboard and a fairly sympathetic deck line. Where the 133 can appear big and chunky and the 109 slightly pinched, the 122 is more of a ‘looker’ as well as a performer, but even so the styling remains resolutely conservative.

The hull shape is clearly orientated towards an all-round performance under IRC. The stem is nearly plumb, with the well rounded forefoot clear out of the water when the boat is at the dock. Equally there is a modest stern overhang at the stern which maximises the effective waterline length when the boat heels, but keeps the wetted surface low; certainly there is no big draggy back end and with plenty of sail area the 122 should move along respectably in gentle airs.

A special emphasis has been made to increase the simplicity and cleanliness of the deck and cockpit layout on the 122. This is especially evident in the cockpit. The mainsheet track is set on the sole forward of the wheel. As with the 133, the A-style mainsheet is very neatly run beneath the sidedecks, exiting to the 46.2 ST Harken winches, and runs inside the boom.

There is a removable dock box transom which will rarely be used on the water. The open stern substantially enhances the look as well, rather than J-Boats’ slightly awkwardly styled stepped transoms on some of the middle aged models.

Access to the steering quadrant is excellent, via a moulded hatch. Either side of this are good, deep footrests. There are ample side-decks aft of the wheel, indeed there is plenty of space for helm plus tactician or a less mobile guest.

At the pointed end the forestay is set back off the stemhead which allows the furling drum to be recessed tidily below deck level.

A decent ORC-legal toe rail is integral to the moulding on the foredeck. And it is always worth mentioning J-Boats’ scrimp resin infusion construction, which produces a hull of excellent integrity and finish. The resin infusion allows a high, very even level of glass content throughout the laminate which utilises a low density balsa core.

Rig and sails

J122 sailing

The standard twin-spreader rig is white painted aluminium, although the carbon option will be taken up by most serious racers, and is spec’d on the US boat.

The maximum overlap on the headsail is 110 per cent, allowing the shroudbase to extend out to the sheerline. The roller furled jib maximises the ease of use whilst not compromising performance thanks to the large, high aspect mainsail.

Overall design displacement is just 6,800kgs with 2,540kgs ballast on the 2.2m deep draught, moderate L-configuration keel. As ever J-Boats stick to relatively conservative foils which offer a defined easy groove, producing lift and feel even at relatively slow speeds.

In effect it is easy to conclude that the Americans and Europeans know their market well and are careful to produce a performance envelope to match. They have pushed too hard with some of the mid-sized sports-cruisers in the past and they have not proven as popular.

Our sail was brief and inspiring, although in this case it was about getting the boat on the water as soon as humanly possible and gathering first impressions. Unfortunately that meant we had a borrowed gennaker which was too short in the hoist — hence the slightly ill-fitting look in the pics.

Overall there was a lot to be impressed with. We were well under race crew weight, but the 122 went upwind on rails.

In 9-11 knots of true wind it was a pleasure to steer, transmitting that satisfying urgency of big boat momentum but remaining light and positive. From what we could feel there were no obvious pregnant pauses upwind, those embarrassing moments when you have to dig deep and chase a too small jib. For ballpark figures we were making boatspeeds in the top end of sixes and into low sevens with relative ease upwind across that wind range.

Coming out of the tack the boat accelerated positively, holding her way well through irons and maintaining feel on the helm throughout. Cockpit ergonomics for the driver are excellent, and there seemed to be plenty of space for the crew to work. There are good, high backs to the cockpit seats and the ride felt dry and safe, which is essential considering this is still a dual-purpose boat.

Downwind it was difficult to get an insight into speed potential with a kite which is not designed for the boat and no instruments, but certainly in terms of feel and handling the 122 was a joy. Simply roll away the headsail and launch the kite with ease.

In the puffs there was an urgency and an underlying capacity to push it hard. The bow happily popped a few times but there was never enough breeze to trouble the 122 at all, leaving a pleasing smooth wake at a comfortable 8.1, 8.2 knots at about 110 TWA.

Rolling into a gybe, short-handed on a stirring sunny early spring day is all you need to do to remind yourself of why the J-Boats asymmetric set up is so popular. No messing about. Rather than brute strength, like good comedy it is all about timing, as we rolled with ease through a few painless gybes.

j122 sailboat

The interior is spacious and well appointed. All of the main headlinings are easily removed for maintenance issues. It would be easy to criticise the interior finish for being plain and insipid. On our test boat the choice of upholstery colour did not exactly set the world on fire, but the appeal is in the simplicity and good build quality, rather than any nod to contemporary styling.

The forward cabin has a good sized double berth with an en-suite access to the forward heads (on the two cabin owner’s layout) and has a desk/dresser with good stowage.

There is the choice of one or two aft cabins. The two cabin layout allows a second heads to starboard aft of the nav station, otherwise it is a fairly conventional layout for the two symmetrical back cabins. They retain plenty of space and ample ambient light.

Both the work stations downstairs — the galley and the nav station — are good. The nav area has an excellent chart table with deep fiddles and plenty of stowage. Behind the navigator’s head there is another locker, a good shelf on the semibulkhead which falls easily to hand for smaller, essential items. Mounting space for instruments is ample rather than generous.

So too the galley is well proportioned with a main forward-facing work surface, twin stainless sinks, and a large 150 litre ice-box/fridge. Fiddle rails are good all round.

J/122 Review: Verdict

The J/122 is already a success, answering a very obvious market demand, not least from J/109 owners ready to move up the size and performance scale. Over our short time with the boat it seemed an accomplished all-rounder which will have the capacity to deliver a prize-winning performance under IRC. It is easily and enjoyably sailed by an average race crew, but will cruise extensively in comfort.

It will be interesting to see how it fares up against, say, the new X-41 OD which is also making waves this season on the UK race scene, but the new J/122 has the hallmarks of a winner already.
