What’s New with the J/36?
The J/36 introduces a new deck plan, cockpit layout, and J/40-inspired styling, providing unmatched versatility for both cruising and racing. Key features include:

- A redesigned companionway for a smoother transition between the cockpit and below.
- Bright, comfortable interiors with practical storage and cruising-ready features.
