Looking for a rewarding performance experience in a sailboat that also passes the family and friends sailing test? Meet Fly, a 29-foot J/88 Speedster and the first of our Premium Sportboat Fleet. Fast, fun, stable, and featuring a secure cockpit, inboard diesel engine, and overnighting interior, the J/88 delivers all the exhilaration of performance sailing along with some basic cruising comforts to expand your range and possible itineraries.
The J/88 is responsive to steering and trim and is easy to handle. The traditional mainsail and furling jib can be deployed in minutes, all lines lead aft to the cockpit, and the primary winches are within reach of the helm. A deck-stepped carbon fiber mast, a 6.5-foot fixed lead bulb keel, and balanced, efficient hull form optimize a smooth ride and provide exceptional stability and control, even in challenging conditions. In light breezes, the J/88's low drag and high aspect sail plan supply the efficiency and power to sail on when others will have to motor.
Below deck, the J/88 features a simple but functional layout with cabin lighting, two full-length settee berths, a private head, and comfortable seating for four. Along with a navigation station, mini-galley, and a large cooler near the companionway, these features expand your options to include longer day sails, overnights, and weekends. For day sails, her crew comfort capacity is 6.
