Our Fleet
Our fleet - the J80 sailing boats

Business Yachtclub Barcelona owns a fleet of four J80 sailing boat. Sailing World rated the J/80 sail boat as easier to handle, less intimidating, safer and better suited for sailing offshore than other modern sport boats tested.

“Thanks to its 1400lb. Fixed lead keel (48 % ballast ratio) J/80sailboat has big-boat feel and requires less experienced crew. The boom is high for safety and good visibility. No one has to clamber over a cabin top because everyone sits in the 12 ft. long cockpit."
Doug Logan, Sailing World Magazine
