Optimized for short-handed sailing, you can see from these photos the J/121 has a knife-like bow to cut through the seas with minimal resistance and powerful stern-quarters that will permit her to race down the waves at 20+ kt speeds all day long offshore.
Start planning (or planing?) now to get a trial sail on the J/121 after she has launched this US summer on Narragansett Bay! She will be based in Newport, Rhode Island starting in July.
