A renaissance can be defined as a revival of intellectual or artistic achievement and vigor. By that definition, Renaissance of the J Class, a modern redesign of the fabled sailing class from the 1930s by British designer George Wolstenholme, is appropriately named.

J Class deck rendering
Under the shade of a towering carbon-fiber mast is a simple yet spacious top deck intended for the easy movement of large crews and even bigger sails.
J Class lower salon rendering
A generously sized glass house amidships is both an exterior focal point and interior centerpiece.
J Class oversize hull windows
Thanks to oversize hull windows, the upper salon is inundated with natural light, adding to the sense of spaciousness belowdecks and improving the interior/exterior continuity of the craft.
J Class master suite
Light fabrics, wall cladding, mirrors and reflective surfaces also enhance this design.

Only time will tell if this Renaissance will last, but we are excited to see this concept brought to life someday.
