J/22 is a 22 ′ 6 ″ / 6.9 m monohull sailboat designed by Rod Johnstone and built by J Boats and Waterline Systems, LLC starting in 1983.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The J22 is a 22.5ft fractional sloop designed by Johnstone and built in fiberglass by J Boats since 1983.

The J22 is a light sailboat which is a very high performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.

J/22 Mainsails

J/22 Class Mainsail

The J/22 mainsail offers easy-to-adjust power controls as well as great performance in all conditions. This is our latest all-purpose mainsail designed to handle the big winds and deliver enough power to get you through the light wind and wavy conditions. Its cross-cut design and loose foot allows for deeper draft and great shape retention. Built with dimension polyant fabric, it's a low-cost, exceptional value mainsail that is fast, durable, flexible, and easy to manage. INCLUDES: Loose foot, tapered fiberglass battens, draft stripes, sail numbers, visibility and spreader windows, insignia, class royalty, and roll bag.

J/22 Headsails

J/22 Class Jib

Quantum's jibs have evolved to become more user-friendly. With a deeper foot and a rounder entry, our jib has a wide groove and great acceleration out of tacks and off the starting line. We have found this sail to be a great performer in both flat and lumpy water. Jibs come complete with telltales, bronze jib hanks, visibility window, draft stripes, class royalty and roll bag.

J/22 Spinnakers

J/22 Spinnaker - AIRX 650

Quantum has long been the leader in spinnaker design technology. This is quite apparent in our J/22 spinnakers. We updated our horizontal profile to a more elliptical shape that gives the spinnaker maximum projected area while still being easy to fly. The strength of our tri-radial panels locks in the shape so your sail will stay fast longer. Airx 650 is the lightest cloth available that meets the class rules, and is now available colors shown. Spinnakers come complete with sail numbers and a fold bag. Price also includes class royalty.
