J/122 has set a new standard 40-foot yacht "dual-purpose", suitable both for full cruise sailing and races — coastal or offshore. The boat is optimized for racing under IRC handicap, but it is a fully equipped cruiser. Very small for a 40-tucovica displacement, large sail area and low center of gravity, coupled with very easy control led to the fact that the boat was competitive in racing as in light winds on flat water and strong wind on the waves. The yacht even in the long run, can be operated by only two people. A curious detail: the boat is equipped with the so-called "space coast". For a long voyage it is installed behind the steering station, closing the cockpit and making a stay on Board a more safe. Before he can be removed together with unnecessary in the race in heavy elements (stove, refrigerator, gas cylinders) and stay on the beach.
