The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express. Francis Bacon (1561-1626) GRACE ON WATER THE J CRAF T P HILOSOP HY The essence of boating is the pursuit of passion. As with all matters of the heart, this extraordinary pursuit is uniquely individual and forms the very core of the J Craft philosophy. Blending cutting edge performance with classic lines, the new J Craft Torpedo redefines the notion of grace on water. – 3 – You grip the solid hand-carved wood of the steering wheel and power up the twin Volvo Penta engines, setting the stage for a boating experience unlike any other. The rowdy conversation of your guests quiets as the J Craft Torpedo smoothly accelerates, replaced by gleaming smiles as you leave the mooring behind. Well underway, the stunning shape of the Torpedo’s hull cuts the chop effortlessly, negotiating a tight arc as you push across the bay. The Torpedo responds nimbly in each maneuver, while maintaining a true sense of speed. The sun deepens and spills into the sea as the gentle breeze frames another unforgettable evening. – 4 – La t. 04 3 ° 17. 471 N, Lo n. 006 ° 3 8 . 8 3 7E – 5 – THE J CRAFT HERITAGE Th e f i r s t J C raf t pro to type, th e Cabrio Cruiser, was compl et ed in J Craft ’s s h i py ard o n Go tlan d, Sw e de n , i n 1999.

Every detail is meticulously hand finished, from the stitching on the upholstery to the finish of the bow chocks. No two Torpedos are the same, yet every Torpedo is a true J Craft. – 24 – – 25 – – 26 – – 27 – – 28 – – 29 – – 30 – – 31 – – 32 – – 33 – THE J CRAFT SPECIFICATIONS HOW GOOD IS GREAT?
