J97
12 / 77 - score 68%
The J97 is a 31.53ft fractional sloop designed by Johnstone and built in fiberglass by J Boats since 2008.
The J97 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top quarter. It is a good choice.
