EIGHT BALL is a unique boat in that it can completely dominate fully crewed racing or when reconfigured, dominate short-handed sailing in it’s fully electric mode.  EIGHT BALL was created to be fast off the dock and fast to be put away.  With a Stack Pack mainsail cover and a custom installed under-deck furler for reduced windage and a maximum jib luff length, both sails can be deployed with a simple push of the button on the custom remote control.

EIGHT BALL can be tiller steered with the standard tiller or wheel steered with the custom composite steering wheel.

EIGHT BALL’s single-handed configuration has the tiller removed, the high modulus jib boom added, the wheel installed and the dodger in place.  The forward steering position allows the single-hander to access all of the halyard controls and get his or her weight at max beem while driving.  The dodger also provides great protection with the forward steering position and great placement for spinnaker douses.

The J/100 is designed with comfortable, self-bailing cockpit having full-length seats with backrests and a full-width dodger for weather protection. The simple interior layout includes 2 berths and a marine head. A forward V-berth is optional. If the wind dies, a 10 HP diesel auxiliary with folding prop is standard.
