No frills, but fast!

The long-established Johnstone company from Newport presents a new model for the European market. You can read the detailed test report in the new issue. Just this much in advance:...

...the name says it all. J, like sailing. Nobody who is seriously interested in a yacht from this company will expect a floating holiday home.

This makes it all the more exciting to see how the shipyard defines the term performance cruiser. What was considered necessary for a cruising boat of this size?

You'll find the answer in the new issue, on newsstands from Wednesday.
