(Newport, RI)- The first Cruise Edition of the J/45 (pictured above) launches next month in Les Sables d’Olonne, France, and then ships to Newport, Rhode Island for a summer of cruising New England.
This new edition features a custom 6’ draft (1.82m), all-lead keel, and optimized carbon spar package (64.5’ max height) designed for easier access to shallow cruising grounds and more restrictive waterways, including the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) on the east coast of the USA.
