Extract from the Cruising World report 📃:
In profile, this is a handsome, purposeful-looking boat, one of those yachts that looks jumpy just sitting on its mooring. There are twin helms, a dedicated sprit, high freeboard and an easy, understated sheerline. The layout is a traditional one: a stateroom forward, a central salon with a galley and nav station, and the choice of one or two staterooms aft (our test boat had a single aft stateroom and plenty of stowage, which was the floor plan that the judges preferred). The boat also has some nice French accents to the furnishings and colors, probably thanks to interior designer Isabelle Racoupeau. It’s all very pretty, straightforward and inviting. Sometimes simplicity is best.

The J/40 advanced to the winner’s circle, however, thanks to the singular reason it was launched in the first place: its crisp performance under sail. In an ideal 10- to 14-knot northerly, it creamed to weather at over 8 knots. Cracked off to a beam reach, it still sped along in the high 7s. The steering was silky smooth, and the sightlines from the helm, whether driving from windward or leeward, were exceptional. All the sailhandling tools were readily at hand.
The company is promoting it as a cruiser/racer (not the other way around), and the accommodations will definitely afford comfortable cruising. But plenty of sailors will race these yachts—the company reportedly sold more than a dozen right out of the box—making it a legitimate dual-purpose vessel. It represents good value too.
In summing up, judge Tim Murphy cut straight to the chase: “It really is an exemplary sailboat.”
