1991 J Boats J/47

The 1991 J/47 represents the classic J Boats approach to the cruiser-racer formula. At 47 feet long with a 13-foot beam, this composite-hulled yacht combines the performance characteristics J Boats built its reputation on with practical cruising capability. Power comes from a Yammer diesel engine.

The J/47 design delivers the kind of sailing characteristics that appeal to owners seeking both competitive performance and comfortable extended cruising. The layout balances accommodation below decks with the open cockpit spaces needed for active sailing and racing.

This is a straightforward example of the model that established J Boats' standing in the performance cruiser category.
