Designed by J/Boats' Rod Johnstone, the International J/80 is a perfect choice for offshore family racing, as well as for cruising and dinghy sailors transitioning to keelboat competition.
The powerful asymmetrical spinnaker is easy to set and allows this sprit one-design to plane at 15 knots with crew trimming safely from the cockpit. The fixed keel and bulb keeps the boat on its feet and user friendly, particularly going upwind in a chop. A high boom and closed transom are additional safety factors. The J/80 is trailerable and complies with US and European towing widths. Active fleets can be found in the US, France, UK and Sweden.
If you're a J80 owner then you'll love this picture guide telling you which Harken block is used in which location on your J/80 racing boat.
All of these Harken blocks and accessories are available from Sailing Chandlery, you can simply put the product code into our search box and go direct to the page to buy.
If you would like us to put together a block package for you then just get in touch.
Thanks for the swift completion of my order for ILCA, 2000 and Pico training sails. The material looks first class as is the workmanship. ILCA & Pico sails ordered late afternoon Wednesday received 10 am Friday. 2000 sails complete with 2 reefing points as requested made to order just arrived - delighted.
I used a particular credit card for the first time in 12 months to purchase the voucher, which an brand new email address due to work, and 5 days later a card fraud took place on that card. Fake bank employee also called me and knew the email address and confused the billing address for the company credit card eith my home address. Only one possible source was Sailing Chandlery.
Also a pair of sunglasses were not dispatched
All that I expected.
I brought the superwarm v wetsuit from sailing chandlery online. It was very quick delivery & good support for the owners.
The wetsuit is brilliant & keeping my son warm while doing his winter training.
I required 5 rudder retaining clips for our junior sail training clips, the e mail site showed the exact clips I required I ordered them and they were with me in 2 days great service I will use the site again.
Many thanks for the swift delivery of this excellent top. It is warm and comfortable and my daughter loves it. Your price was good and the service efficient
Very good price and delivery on time.
Product superb quality.
Great firm to deal with.
Very friendly and realistic service - ordered this item at the dinghy show and was told would be dispatched by Wednes latest - it arrived on Wednes!
Took the gloves on an trans-Atlantic row. Very comfortable and great when chilly at night and to keep hands dry. So impressed I’m taking another pair on my Pacific row from Monterey to Hawaii in June.
Fast delivery awesome customer service!
Great product but worth running across something across something first as is very slippy for the first few sails ( we pulled it back and forth on a smooth part of our trolley)
Very nice to pull on/off and cleats very well
Great covers and excellent fit.
Just what I needed and great service.
I've been asked to leave a review for this bung. I had bought this to give to a politician as he had requested a bung to help out with a question, but it turned out not to be the 'right sort of bung'. No matter, since luckily I have a boat and this one fitted the hole at the back and seems to just the item required for this. After inserting into the said hole, it transpires that turning it one way lets the water in nicely for the water ballast effect, and turning it the other way helps keep the water inside. Turning it again the other way then lets the water back out sometimes. It also seems that sailing backwards with the bung unscrewed is not wise but there was no warning in any of the instructions that didn't come with the product.
In summary - useless as an encouragement to politicians, quite good as a manual boat hole valve.
