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.
