The Successful History of Sail22 and the J/70 Class
The Successful History of Sail22 and the J/70 Class

Sail22 became involved with the J/70 about one year prior to the boat going into production. The relationship began with meeting Jeff Johnstone at his Newport, Rhode Island office. There they took the time to go over the designs, making suggestions and contributing to the support of the class from day one. They would soon gain access to hull #14, and a year later would take delivery of hull #322. 

Hull #322 would become Sail22’s first J/70 in their fleet and the opportunity to begin experimenting and testing ways to make them easier to sail while maintaining a competitive edge in the fleet.

Since, 2012, Becky and Ed, in addition to hulls #14 and #322, would also own #490, and now, hull #1522. Sail22 has never been without a J/70 in its fleet. The previous three hulls have since been sold to competitive owners and their current boat, #1522, named RODEO, is currently being chartered. 

Over the last seven-plus years, Sail22 has supported hundreds of J/70 owners and a leading contributor to the research and development of products that support every J/70 sailor.
