Introduction
The ideal mid-40s length
racer/cruiser…and winner of The Sailing World Magazine
Overall Boat of the Year, J/133 is a yacht with the
stability for short-handed cruising, race winning speed
under IRC & PHRF, durability for rough offshore passages.
Add in the retractable carbon bowsprit and flying and
handling the asymmetrical spinnaker becomes a breeze.
J/133 combines cruising
comfort with more powerful performance ratios. The easy to
manage sailplan allows fewer and less experienced crew, and
the extra rig power afforded by a low VCG keel and standard
Hall carbon mast will maximize performance across a wide
spectrum of conditions.
Since her introduction, J/133
has established a winning record in some of the highest
profile PHRF & IRC events around the world including class
wins at Key West Race Week, Spi-Ouest Week in France, Storm
Trysail's BI Race Week, and most recently the 2005 Hamble
Winter Series (2nd year in a row). But let's face it, racing
is just part of the ownership equation for most of us.
J/133 also has full interior accommodations with a 3-cabin
single head or dual cabin-dual head layout. There is plenty
of space for getting comfortable inshore or offshore with
proper offshore galley, nav station and companionway designs,
lots of grab rails, large sea-berths, comfortable well
ventilated cabins and a warm varnished wood finish.
With over 2,200 J/Sprit boats
launched in the past decade, sailing with asymmetric
spinnakers is now firmly entrenched and J/Boats is leading
the charge. In famous sailing venues like Annapolis, Newport,
San Francisco Bay and the Solent, it’s now commonplace to
see more asymmetric spinnakers than conventional; and for
good reason. A-sails are easier! With J/133, the ease of
going fast with less crew is combined with a classic, sea-going
J cruising interior, to produce a boat as comfortable to
sleep aboard as she is to sail.
If you ask an owner what they
like best about their J, chances are they will say, “how
well she sails.” Like her stablemates, J/133 is designed for
blazing speed with fingertip control, whether carving
through waves upwind in 12 knots or surfing with double-reefed
main in a squall. Long waterline length combined with narrow
waterline beam results in a hull that tracks well through
the waves with only minimal input from the wheel.
If you own a boat that is
fast in light wind, is stable in a breeze, and can be sailed
single-handed, chances are you’ll spend a lot more time
sailing. And if one’s happiness is directly proportional to
one’s sailing time, then we think J/133 will be the source
of many smiles.
Sailplan
The shortfall of
many cruising sailboats is their over-reliance on large
genoas to generate boat speed in lighter airs (under 12
knots), and their lack of stability to carry the same large
genoa in winds over 15 knots. The result is a sailplan that,
at best, allows one to comfortably sail near target speeds
in only the narrowest of wind ranges, without having to go
through the hassles of changing sail. With a moderate Sail
Area to Displacement ratio and a low Vertical Center of
Gravity, J/133 is designed to efficiently cruise with
mainsail and 105% jib from 5-20 knots without need of
reefing the sails. The bottom line is more sailing and less
work on both the crew and the engine.
The mast is a
double spreader custom-designed auto-claved carbon section
from Hall Spars with aluminum boom and swept spreaders (no
runners or checkstays). Rod rigging, integral hydraulic
backstay adjuster, roller furling and a complete running
rigging package are provided standard. The mast height above
the water makes the Intracoastal Waterway a viable option
for East Coast USA cruising or low-key regatta deliveries to
Key West. The rig and deck plan can also accommodate an
inner forestay system for offshore sailing.
The standard keel
is designed to provide a low VCG for its weight with an
optimized foil shape in section and profile. The standard
dual-purpose 7.5’ draft keel is cast antimony-reinforced
lead, bolted to a molded sump. A shallower draft keel is
also available. The rudder blade is high aspect and shape
optimized to provide the control necessary while sailing
with an asymmetrical spinnaker. The rudder and rudder shaft
are built of carbon fiber and machined to tolerance by ACC
Marine.
Interior
Arrangement
J/133 main
salon includes a complete J shaped galley and navigation
station with full length settees in the main saloon and
plenty of storage compartments. Interior finish is varnished
cherry wood throughout with cherry battens on the hull in
the main saloon and vinyl lining on the hull in sleeping
cabins.
The
standard layout offers three sleeping cabins and a dual
entry head forward, a second head can be substituted for the
aft port cabin. This option allows for a large storage area
aft of the head, accessible through both the head (belowdecks)
and from the port side cockpit storage locker. Space for a
generator and additional systems is located in the chaseway
area aft of the engine.
