I have a J-22, circa 1985, that I bought used in 2010 from a guy on the Cape. I thought it would be the perfect size for our lake and damn if it didn't turn out to be so. I can sail off the mooring in seven minutes flat, spend about 6 hrs off season waxing the hull, cleaning the deck and she's good to go. Love the simplicity of the J-22 and she sails like a dream. I sail single handed most of the time or with the wife but have as many as five people onboard and it is still a blast to sail. Can't wait to get back out there. A day sailing on the lake is truly a good day.
