Boat: J40 | - - a matter of months. We are planning on a 40' sailboat. I have studied a number of used boats. The boat will be berthed (most of the time) in Lake Champlain. However, 2012 will make a few trips via Montreal (go either west or east) to Gt. Lakes or Atlantic. So, here's the question: Interested in a J 40 (5.5" , 18000). Probably OK for the lake - - - -BUT - - - how about coastal sailing? thanks bb | 24-01-2013, 20:09 | | Boat: J40 | cruise...Frank | | | 24-02-2013, 19:25 | | Boat: Valiant 40 | | | | 24-02-2013, 19:56 | | Boat: J40 | .

J/40 Used Boat Review. The J/40 was introduced in 1985 (1986 model year) to great fanfare and expectation. It was "Boat of the Year" in national magazines in 1985 and again in 1986. More than 30 were built in the first year of production, and more than 100 were built over the 10-year production run from 1986 through 1995.
Today, well-equipped J/40s can be bought for under $130,000, which is a lot for a used 40-foot boat, but close to $100,000 less than the new J/42 that has been designed to replace it. Compared to other boats in this size and price range (the Tartan 40, Nordic 40, Bermuda 40 and Bristol 41) the J40 is notable for its simplicity, speed and ease ...
Extended cruising in a boat like the J-40 requires a very different mindset. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if you size the J-40 by its a 16,700 lb displacement, this is a pretty small boat. In other words distance cruising in any 16,700 lb boat whether it is 32 feet or 40 feet is bound to be a little spartan.
Re: J40, have questions. The J/40 has a displacement of 18,000 lbs and has a D/L of 204 - by today's standard it's on the heavy side and not what I'd call a light boat. J Boats thought highly enough of it that they created a cruising version of it - adding a bit to the stern and calling it the J/42. 21-06-2021, 21:27.

The J/40 was my favorite boat for 1985. It might be fun to compare the J/40 with my design, the Valiant 40. Both boats show similar dimensions with identical waterlines and I dimensions. The major difference is that the J/40 weighs 15,500 pounds and the Valiant weighs 23,000 pounds. This works out to a D/L ratio of 176 for the J/40 and 261 for ...
The J40 accommodation layout. The J40 is a sloop-rigged boat with a fin keel and a spade rudder. The sail area is 765 square feet, which gives it a sail area to displacement ratio of 18. The boat is powered by a 43 hp diesel engine. The J40 has a sleek and elegant hull shape that is optimized for speed and stability.
It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
The J40 is one of those rare boats that really can provide a racing, cruising and passage-making sailor with few big compromises for a boat of its size. To take the helm, the boat has a great feel that is unusual even in 25+ knots. Will you want to sail for a long day in…

Does anyone have any recommendations on boats in the 40 foot range for cruising and some racing. Would the J-40 be a good choice or are their better values? I prefer a boat that can be single or double handed.
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. Formula. 36.11. <40: less stiff, less powerful. >40: stiffer, more powerful.
