2000 J Boats J/105
About This Yacht
The 2000 J/105 is a 34-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built on a proven one-design platform recognized for balancing competitive racing performance with comfortable cruising. The boat features the characteristic J/105 design: responsive handling, an open cockpit with full-length cushions and dodger, and a thoughtful deck layout suited to short-handed operation or a full racing crew. Power comes from a Yanmar 2GM20 diesel engine rated at 20 horsepower.
The sailing rig includes a Dacron mainsail on slides, a single roller-furling jib, and an asymmetric spinnaker contained in a snuffer with a retractable carbon-fiber bowsprit. This setup allows for efficient sail handling from the cockpit, with jibing and sail changes manageable by one person. The boat is equipped with a full suite of B&G electronics for navigation and performance monitoring.
Below deck, the interior provides sleeping berths and practical accommodations for overnight voyages. The design prioritizes simplicity and ease of operation across a range of wind conditions, from light air to 20 knots, without requiring elaborate crew routines or extensive deck work.
