Its a more fun boat to sail. 40 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat. I ended up taking my 20 to Miami and sailing in the M20 circuitit was a BLAST but a lot of far from home plus it meant no fun race boat in my home waters.

The J70 has a more welcoming owner group is not as fast easier to sail and way larger but less pro fleets. Membership for the class is only 40 year which is significantly less than Class membership in other boats of similar size. Best known for its very competitive disposition and easy-to-sail personality.
