1979 Custom RJ 140

The RJ 140 is a 46-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Rolf Jacobsson and built at Tollare shipyard in Sweden during the 1970s. This example is rigged as a schooner, a configuration particularly suited to downwind and reach sailing. The hull design reflects the naval architecture principles of that era, offering a seaworthy platform capable of handling rough conditions and extended cruising.

The boat accommodates three cabins below deck, with a flush-decked layout typical of the original design. Interior appointments vary by builder preference, as each RJ 140 was constructed individually. The schooner rig provides excellent sailing characteristics, particularly effective on downwind points of sail where the design demonstrates notable speed.

The yacht underwent a comprehensive restoration between 2007 and 2013, addressing systems and structure throughout the boat. Power is supplied by a 54-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, providing reliable auxiliary propulsion. The RJ 140 remains recognized as a capable offshore cruiser with a proven reputation for safe, sturdy performance in challenging sea states.
