J Boats J7 para vender (2025) en Hamble-le-Rice, ENG, Reino Unido

The J/7 Daysailer is a modern 23-foot (7 m) family day-sail boat introduced by J Composites. It features a sit-in cockpit large enough for a group, and a very manageable sail plan geared towards ease of handling. It’s designed so it’s “roomy enough to bring the whole gang, and small enough to tow home behind a mid-sized SUV.” 

Key Features & Benefits

• Ease of sailing: All sail controls are reachable from the cockpit, an adjustable backstay helps flatten sails in gusts, and you can sail it with one hand on the tiller and one on the mainsheet.
• Versatility: It performs well even under mainsail alone – i.e., you can sail on days when others might decide to stay ashore.
• Comfort & style: The cockpit is very comfortable (comparable to larger models in the J-range). The walk-through swim platform at the transom is an added benefit for hanging out and swapping between fun and sailing.
• Build quality / durability: The boat uses composite sandwich construction (E-glass with Corecell foam core) and high density inserts for deck hardware, drawing on 45+ years of experience from the J range (e.g., J/22, J/24, J/70, J/80) in institutional use. 

Specifications

Some of the key numbers:

• Hull length: 7.04 m
• Waterline length: 6.35 m
• Maximum beam: 2.47 m
• Draught: 1.16 m
• Sail area (100%): 23.8 m²
• Displacement: 1044 kg
• Ballast: 476 kg
• Low vertical centre of gravity via fixed all-lead keel.

Why It Stands Out

• The blend of an easy-to-handle sail plan + high stability + quality build makes it appealing for family day sailing rather than just serious racing.
• The design appears to aim for maximum fun with minimal fuss: trailerable, manageable by few people, yet comfortable for several, both sailing and lounging.
• The brand heritage of J boats gives it credibility in terms of design pedigree and sailing performance.
• Additional details & notable features:
• The cockpit is large and self-draining, with 2.6 m (8.5 ft) long seats and integrated backrests — designed to accommodate 4-5 adults comfortably.
• A walk-through transom with swim platform is built in, enhancing leisure/anchoring comfort.
• Sail controls are led to the cockpit for ease of single-handed sailing; features include jib roller furler, end-boom mainsheet bridle , adjustable backstay.
• Engine/auxiliary: primarily outboard bracket mounted.
• Cabin: Small interior which offers V-berth platform and settees for gear storage or shelter.
