j122 sailboat weight

The J122e is a 40.0ft fractional sloop designed by Johnstone/Roséo and built in fiberglass by J Boats since 2014.

The J122e is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.

Out on Chesapeake Bay last fall, the new J/122 was perfect for a crew of young bucks who were scurrying round the buoys in a stiff breeze of 18 knots, with frequent gusts into the mid-20s, half of the main going wobbly to keep their boat on its feet as they rocketed upwind and down. Already with a string of significant race firsts, it’s clear that the J/122 is a performance-oriented boat.

And even after we Boat of the Year judges climbed aboard and took over the helm and sheets, “Fast” was the first observation that judge and former racer Tom Linskey recorded in his sailing notes. But his observations and reflections soon arrived at this question: Given that the design being tested was “80 percent racer, compared with this J’s cruisier sisters, the J/42 and the J/46, is the J/122 a cruising boat?”

Unlike a true racing sled, this boat has creature comforts below that could turn the trip to and from a regatta into a pleasant voyage indeed. BOTY judge Stacey Collins, however, would’ve preferred to see more handholds on deck and steps on the mast to help her reach the halyard at the mainsail’s headboard.

As for me, I figure people have found adventure upon the deep aboard everything from ocean liners to a beach cat to a barrel. The better question, I think, is this: Whose cruising boat could this be?

I admit to admiring J boats. Generally, the heritage has provided us with a string of moderately proportioned, seakindly hulls built with high-quality modern materials and techniques. They’re nice boats to steer; good in a seaway, if a bit wet in heavy conditions; and fast on all points. J boats, after proper fitting out, have been chosen by many singlehanded sailors to cross oceans. The J/122 fits its pedigree, though its standard package is clearly oriented toward hauling the mail in light airs, racing with either a keen family or bevy of pals, and some real sport cruising. The liveaboard capability described in the brochure would more than suit me-I’ve been happy on a 21-footer for a year with no more plumbing than a bucket. Which is not to say the 122 is a stripped-down racer; in fact, the furniture and finish are on par with the other cruising boats that were sailed for Boat of the Year. But I’d keep to a minimum the gear and complicated systems that are now de rigueur aboard cruisers so the boat remains light and sails fast. To me, this is a boat for those who like long sleigh rides and a bit of adrenalin now and then.

But for those who just can’t leave the toys at home, J/Boats’ Jeff Johnstone notes that the J/122 was designed with both cruising and racing in mind, so it’s intended to carry some weight. Load it up with 10 crew when hunting for trophies, or send the rail meat packing to bring aboard a comparable amount of cruising stores.

It’s no small feat to design something as complex as a sailboat so that it appears simple, straightforward, and clean. Deceptive simplicity is a mark of J boats in general and of the J/122 in particular. Built by J/Europe in Les Sables d’Olonne, France, the J/122’s elegantly unfettered interior will work while making passages as well as living in port. Twin settees in the saloon can be augmented by swing-up pilot berths to keep resting crew amidships, the best position for minimizing motion and isolating sailors from noise from the cockpit. Twin aft double cabins also boast adequate sea berths offshore while offering privacy in port. Choose the interior on the J/122 featuring one aft cabin and you gain a head convenient to the watch and a generous garage aft, but owners with more numerous guests may prefer the additional sleeping space.

The galley features deep, near-centerline sinks, a three-burner stove and oven, decent bracing for the cook, and some of the most serious and practical fiddles on any of the boats we sailed last fall. The nav table is big enough for some actual chart work, though also ready for all the modern gizmos. Handrails, grabs, and access to seacocks and systems are logical and efficiently placed.

The construction is clean, too. The J/122 features a hull of balsa core and E-glass, resin-infused using the well-honed SCRIMP system to optimize strength, and very neat layup right down to details in places people don’t ordinarily look. I still most trust bonding deck and hull with laminate and mechanical fasteners, so I reserve judgment on a primary hull/deck joint relying almost exclusively on Plexus, although all the theory says it’s fine, and J/Boats believes: It provides both a five-year structural warranty to ride the 122 hard and see how it holds up as well as 10 years against osmotic blistering.

Given the conditions for our test sail, most cruisers would’ve thrown two reefs in the mainsail, but we went with the youth-bashing-about-the-cans full-main approach, flogging our way to weather and reaching off with barreling ease. The steering remained light and responsive. The rig is indicative of the current trend toward small jibs combined with large off-wind sails, this one flown from the J’s retractable sprit. As on Open 60s, the J/122’s shroud chainplates tie to the rail, extending the spreaders and lightening the already light, top-of-the-line, autoclaved Hall Spars carbon mast. With this rig, there’s no need for the complexity of big jibs and running backstays. Control is centered around the helm, where a big wheel hangs on a substantial pedestal that combines footrests, engine and hydraulic controls, and access to steering gear. The double-ended mainsheet exits from under the deck to the aft cockpit winches, handy, as is the manual bilge pump, to the helmsman (although when sailing off the wind, the mainsheet lies over the leeward winch). A high bridgedeck protects the cabin from downflooding. Cruisers will want to close off the back of the cockpit using the optional transom box, which will likely contain the life raft. Even racers might consider adding a lower lifeline across the opening. And cruisers will want to consider installing handrails forward of the mast and, definitely, some optional toerails aft.

J/Boats doesn’t incorporate features just because they’re trendy; instead, it uses what’s practical, whether traditional or new, to create a package that hones the primary function of a sailboat: It sails. Whatever else it will do once fully prepared-club racing with mates, scooting to Bermuda or even Hawai’i, or flash dancing to your favorite cruising nook-is up to you.

J/122E is a 39 ′ 11 ″ / 12.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Rod Johnstone and built by J Boats and J Composites starting in 2014.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

J/122E (built in France) has same hull and rig as the J/122, but with updated deck, coach roof, interior and port lights added. 3 different keel options available.

J121 Speed Guide

North Sails experts Kimo Worthington and Chuck Allen answer questions in this speed guide for the J121 class.

Who sails a J121?

There are several distinct types of people who sail a J121, and most are experienced sailors. Some race the boat one design, some race shorthanded or fully crewed offshore, and some head south and cruise the Caribbean. Many are individualists who have been changing keels and adding sails. In the 2018 Newport Bermuda Race, four J121s raced in three different configurations. The point is, the J121 is a versatile boat that’s ready to sail offshore, and the sailors who do buy one all seem to agree that they’d rather do something other than race windward-leeward course configurations.

The J121 is a versatile boat that’s ready to sail shorthanded and/or offshore.

What’s the ideal J121 crew size?

That’s a trick question for this boat. The most crew you’ll ever need is five or six, total, for an event like Block Island Race Week, but the boat was designed for sailing doublehanded. It sails well without water ballast, but it really shines when you fill the windward tank with 850 pounds of water; that’s like having four or five extra people on the rail. Testing in a strong breeze, we have found the performance is spectacular with a reefed main and inner jib.

The most crew you’ll ever need on a J121 is five or six, and the boat is designed for doublehanding.

How do you move a J121 around between races?

The boat is 40 feet long and weighs 11,900 pounds with 4,800 pounds of ballast, so you’re going to move this boat on its own bottom or with a professional trucker. It’s equipped with a 30hp Yanmar diesel and saildrive, so it moves along well under power. And remember, even with only a couple of delivery crew you can add water ballast and power right up.

What sails are recommended?

The boat is billed as a five-sail boat. There’s one mainsail and two jibs, one that roller-furls on the headstay and the other that roller-furls on the inner headstay. The boat has an extendable sprit that can fly a Code Zero/gennaker on a roller-furler, or you can use an all-purpose asymmetric spinnaker. For a closer look at all these sails, view the

North Sails product page

, but it’s worth talking to a North class expert to make sure you match your sails to sailing style and location. Other speciality sails include smaller and flatter spinnakers and spinnaker staysails.

J121 Tuning

What are the keys to rig set-up.

The rig is set up for heavy air with 52 on the uppers.

Any tricks to tuning a boat with multiple headstays?

The inner jib is a big upgrade for most people. Now, instead of wrestling to set and douse a heavy air jib, you can raise and furl it anytime on the inner headstay, which has a halyard lock-off. The lower end of the inner headstay has a 3:1 purchase, and before deploying the heavy air jib we grind the daylights out of it—enough to make the forward headstay just start going slack.

What’s involved in setting up and hoisting the mainsail?

The mainsail has luff slides that live on the mast track. Before bending them on for the first time, tension and secure the battens and check that the main halyard purchase has no twists. Be sure the headboard is on the track and that the battens aren’t too tight. Check that the pressure is evenly distributed between the bottom car and the tack point, which is adjustable. You should be able to hoist the sail by hand; don’t use a winch, because you might over-hoist the sail.

With track cars and batten tension set correctly and no twists in the two-part halyard, you should be able to hoist the sail by hand.

What’s involved in adjusting the bobstay tension?

The bobstay on a J121 counters the upward pressure on the pole from the Code Zero or spinnaker, and your goal is to keep the pole projecting forward in alignment with the sheer line of the hull. The adjustment is in the center of the bobstay and can be set at the beginning of the season. Be sure that the pole is all the way out and that you have a mark on the pole control line before adjusting the bobstay tension.

When the pole is extended all the way, there should be a ½ inch between bulkhead and turning block.

J121 Upwind Sailing

What sail combinations do you use upwind on a j121.

One of the exciting things about this boat is that you can use different combinations depending on the situation. Standard upwind configuration is a full main and J1 (the bigger jib). As the wind builds, you might reef the main and keep the big jib going; offshore, you might not reef and use the inner jib instead. In enough wind, of course, you’ll use the inner jib with a reefed main.

The inner jib sets up on the inner forestay. Note the furling line, which should be rigged along the windward side.

Upwind, where does the crew sit?

The goal is to keep your “bow knuckle” in contact with the water. So if you have a full crew of five or six, in light air most should be sitting well forward. At 10 knots, you’ll still have two crew sitting in front of the shrouds. At 14 knots, one crew is forward; at 18 knots, everyone will move back to normal hiking position.

If your weight is too far aft, the bow knuckle will always be out of the water.

Upwind on the J121, when do you add water ballast?

As soon as you’re heeling 18 to 20 degrees, start adding water to the tanks to maintain a constant angle of heel. With a full crew, that’s likely to be around 15 knots true wind. Doublehanded, it might be at 12 knots. Don’t forget to add water when you’re cruising or doing a delivery, too. Not only will it reduce heel and improve speed, it can also settle the motion of the boat.

The boat is heeled too much; it's time to add water ballast (or depower).

How do you trim the main and jib upwind?

In light to medium air, center the boom by raising the traveler, and then sheet as hard as you dare to get some rudder angle and heel the boat over 12 to 15 degrees. Don’t head up and slow down; let the foils work and the boat will gain height. Look for the top telltale to be stalling about 25 percent of the time in light air, 50 percent in medium air. When the breeze comes up, keep the traveler high; ease the sheet to add twist when you have trouble reaching the target numbers.

In medium air, the traveler should be raised well to windward to keep the boom on centerline.

For the jib, add three marks on the spreader that line up with the leech for eased, normal, and tight trim. We also recommend marking the deck for the inhauler to set the lead angle between 7 and 12 degrees. Set the angle tightest in flat water and moderate breeze.

The inhauler is set at 8 degrees.

How do you trim the heavy-air jib on the inner headstay?

As mentioned, you need to crank on the inner headstay until it is carrying about three-quarters of the rig load and the forward headstay loosens just a little. The jib sheets lead to the same floating lead as the J1 and you will still trim to the same spreader marks, as well as watching to keep the leech telltales flowing.

What are the key gear changes for sailing upwind?

We’ve developed a playbook for five wind speeds. It goes like this:

• Zone 1 (0-8 knots): You’re looking for power; move weight forward, and keep backstay and headstay loose and outhaul eased. Try to get some heel; pull in the mainsheet.

Start moving weight to the rail. Pull on backstay, jib halyard, and outhaul. Sail shape should still be deep. Trim the mainsheet hard.

Max outhaul, backstay, cunningham, and jib halyard. Find “magic heel angle” (12 to 15 degrees). Crew weight starts moving aft, sail shape becomes flatter. Consider moving jib leads back.

Now you need less power. Consider a single reef. All controls should be maxed. Find the “magic heel angle” (12-15 degrees). Sail shape should be really flat. Trim sails so the boat is easy to steer and fast; ease main (if it flogs, open the slot by easing the jib or moving the jib lead back).

Smaller jib on inner headstay and/or reefed main. Strive for “magic heel angle” (12-15 degrees). Make the boat easy to sail and keep it going fast through the water.

The Magic Heel angle for the J121 is 12-15 degrees.

J121 Reaching and Downwind Sailing

What are the best j121 sail combinations when reaching.

When close reaching in lighter winds, an eased J1 is very efficient because it has leech battens. As you bear off, switch to the Code Zero well before you think it’s time—about 70 to 80 degrees true wind. By easing the tension on the front of the Code Zero and letting it scallop you can sail even higher, but don’t overdo it. Crew should remain forward, in upwind position.

Not all Code Zeros are the same.

Learning the crossover from spinnaker to Code Zero is a key to best reaching speeds on the J121.

What are the crossovers between downwind sails?

Learn your sail crossover chart (see below) to determine the correct angles for the two jibs, Code Zero, and A3 and A2 spinnakers—and keep the leech of your main and headsail well-matched.

The main and Code Zero leeches are well-matched, a fast combination.

he top end of Zone 3 (18 knots) from 90 to 125 degrees true wind angle, sail with a double-slotted Code Zero and inner jib. In winds over 18 knots, you may be able to carry the combination to 135 degrees. If you have one, you can use a spinnaker staysail at 135 degrees and deeper. When it’s really windy, an A4 (small spinnaker) and inner jib can be a very effective double-slot reaching combination.

Where does the J121 crew sit when sailing downwind?

Under spinnaker in light air, crew weight should be forward and on the leeward rail, similar to upwind sailing. As the breeze comes up to 8 to 10 knots, you’ll sail with three in front of the shrouds to windward. For wind in the low to mid teens, those crew come aft of the shrouds. When power reaching, they will move halfway back to companionway, or even right back to the skipper.

Both upwind and downwind, light air crew position is well forward to keep the bow knuckle touching the water.

Video of power reaching:

J121 Maneuvers

How do you set and drop the code zero.

Always hoist a Code Zero on the weather side of the headstay. Raise it until the tack is 1 meter above the pole and tie off the halyard, then tension the luff via the 2:1 tack line. The Code Zero should run through a twing and then aft to the primary block. Unfurl when ready.

To drop a Code Zero: Furl the sail and bear away, tensioning the windward sheet to pull the sail to weather of the headstay as you ease halyard. Accordion it onto the foredeck. When dropping the sail while going upwind, you may have to luff up to get the furled sail to weather of the headstay.

How do you furl the Code Zero?

The key to furling this big sail when it’s windy is to ease the sheet far enough to take the pressure off the sail—but not so far that the sail completely luffs. Maintain a little tension to ensure a tight furl.

How do you reef the main?

Mainsail reefing is straightforward on the J121. Ease the halyard and take up the tack line until the new tackpoint is snug. Next, trim the reefing line until the clew is snug against the boom and put a sail tie around the loose sail aft. Then raise the halyard enough for proper luff tension.

How do you change from J1 to inner jib?

Hoist the furled inner jib to its halyard lock with the tack eased off one meter. Then tighten the tack until the luff rope is quite tight—with significantly more load than the headstay. Keep the tack line on a winch for further adjustment and deploy the inner jib, then furl the J1. Your furling lines should run along the weather side of the boat.

How do you set the J121 spinnaker?

The key jobs when setting the J121 spinnaker with a crew are as follows: The sail starts in the bag, typically zipped up and tied off to the foredeck. Bear off to hoist, and raise the sail at least halfway before pulling out the tack and pole. The driver should call for the set when the boat is sailing at the right angle—if windy, bear off so it’s well hoisted before it fills. Also, don’t furl the jib(s) until the kite is up and flying, or you may mistakenly furl a lazy sheet or other part of the spinnaker. For shorthanded sailing, use a snuffer system or spinnaker zipper system.

How do you jibe the J121 spinnaker?

We recommend an outside jibe, so the clew travels forward around the luff before sheeting in on the new leeward side. The new sheet must be in the “gybulator” or “sheet catcher” before the jibe begins so it doesn’t accidentally drop below the sprit pole. (The gybulator is mounted about six inches above the tack on the luff of the sail.)

The “gybulator” is located about six inches above the tack and the sheet must be in it for jibing. https://youtu.be/nZjE3G0vN7U

Any tips on the starting line?

Be careful not to sail too slowly when approaching the starting line. If your speed falls below 2.5 knots, it can take a long time to get back up to speed and you’ll make a lot of leeway until the water starts flowing effectively over the foils again.

How do you tack a J121?

In light air, roll tacking the J121 is important; use all the crew weight you have. When using water ballast, plan ahead and start shifting the water from one side to the other a minute or two ahead of time. The goal is to come onto the new tack with the water ballast already transferred.

How long does it take to fill, move, and empty the J121’s water ballast?

It takes five minutes to fill the windward tank, one minute to transfer it to leeward before a tack, and two minutes to empty the tank.

The water ballast tanks are filled and drained with three control lines.

What are the keys to sailing a J121 well?

Keep your crew weight out of the aft end of the boat.

Plan ahead for tacks so you have time to shift the water ballast.

In most breezes, max out the backstay to improve headstay tension.

What is the coolest thing about sailing J121s?

We think what’s best about the boat is all the different types of sailors it attracts. J/Boats listened to its clients and introduced a boat that people can sail fast with their families or a few friends, either near shore and for long-distance adventuring.

For Sunday, we will be doing some mast wiring work between 09-1100 with Bill.  If you can come early to help (two trips up the mast) that would be great.  We picked up some J122 Zig Zag Sails to check out between 1100-1500 as well as our recut Code 75.  From Zig Zag we will got a  Code Zero, A1, A2, a lite Jib and M/H jib.  So some batten stuffing prep also required.  We also toured Zig Zag and got to see their new bottom paint job.  We have beer and Dark & Stormy.  Please bring your own lunches.  Good discussion with Bruce Berriman today about inspection and did get to fly the Code 55.  Kevin Farrar recut the luff and leech so flies much nicer.

See some of you tonight at CHNYC.
