2014 J Boats J/88

The 2014 J/88 is a 29-foot fiberglass sloop known for one-design racing performance and versatility. This particular boat was built as hull #39 and has a documented competitive history, including a third-place finish at the St. Francis Big Boat Series. In recent years it has been used for recreational sailing and maintained on a dry-dock lift.

The boat features a two-spreader carbon-fiber deck-stepped mast paired with a 6.5-foot fixed L-shaped keel with a low-VCG lead bulb. The modern hull form is designed for directional stability and responsive handling. A single 14-horsepower Yammer diesel engine provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 6.9 knots. The beam measures 9.42 feet.

The J/88 is built to handle both one-design racing and cruising. Its balanced design delivers efficient power conversion and confidence in a range of conditions. The boat's recent history of careful maintenance and dry-dock storage has helped preserve its condition.
