Our Fleet - J/22

Sailing is a sport best learned in boats that are immediately responsive to the smallest changes. The ideal training boat is one that is an extension of one's own senses. The J/22 is that boat. It is a fast and modern "sailing sports car," combining the feel and exhilaration of a dinghy with the upright stability of a high-performance keelboat. It is the most popular choice of adult sailing fleets nationwide and Chicago Sailing's first choice for our training programs.

The 7-foot cockpit will accommodate as many as 5 adults comfortably. With sailing controls within an arm's length of the tiller, the J/22 is a joy to sail with a few friend.

The J/22 is built for safety. Hatch boards seal off the cozy cabin from rain, sun or heavy seas. An efficient jiffy reefing will reduce sail area in just a few moments. The J22’s cuddy cabin affords shelter from rain, sun or heavy seas. As with all our boats, the J22s come complete with life jackets and a safety box containing first aid supplies, flares and whistle. Each of our boats is powered by a 3.5hp outboard motor.

Chicago Sailing's fleet of fourteen J/22s stands ready to serve your instructional and recreational needs. Make a reservation early to ensure your first choice of times.
