1998 J Boats J/105

The J/105 is one of the most successful one-design keelboats ever built, with over 680 examples worldwide. This 1998 fiberglass sailboat measures 35 feet in length with an 11-foot beam and is powered by a single 20-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. The design prioritizes racing performance and ease of handling with minimal crew, featuring a large, comfortable cockpit and responsive handling characteristics suited to a range of wind conditions.

The interior includes four berths arranged in a simple, efficient layout that supports day sailing, racing, and occasional overnight stays without the complexity of a full cruising design. The deck arrangement centers on a sprit-driven asymmetric spinnaker system, delivering performance across varied conditions while remaining manageable for short-handed sailing.

Recent maintenance includes new bottom paint applied in October 2025 and a Yanmar engine service completed in June 2025. The boat is well-suited to both competitive racing environments and casual sailing with friends.
