2018 J Boats J/112E

The 2018 J/112E is a high-performance sports cruiser built by J-Composites using advanced infusion-moulded E-glass balsa sandwich construction. At 36 feet, the design balances racing capability with comfortable cruising, combining a low-profile cast iron fin keel with lead bulb, carbon retractable bowsprit, and a fractional sloop rig featuring twin double-spreader tapered aluminium masts. The boat is extensively equipped for serious sailing, with a custom rigging package including Harken winches, Dynema lines, and a professional sail inventory featuring mainsail, two furling jibs, Code 0, and asymmetric spinnaker. Navigation is handled by fully integrated Raymarine systems with dual 7-inch chart plotters, AIS, autopilot with wireless remote, and DSC VHF.

The 30 hp Volvo Penta diesel saildrive with folding propeller powers the boat. Fuel capacity is 85 litres, water 200 litres, with holding tank of 45 litres. Engine hours stand at 330 as of January 2026.

The interior follows a two-cabin, one-head layout suited to family cruising. Forward is a V-berth double with under-berth storage and side wardrobes. The saloon features twin settee berths with a drop-leaf table and storage throughout, complemented by a forward-facing chart table to port. An L-shaped galley with double sink, top-loading fridge, and gimballed cooker serves the main accommodation. The aft cabin is a generous double-berth with hanging locker. The heads includes shower with electric pump-out. Interior finishing features wooden-lined cabins, laminated sole flooring, and fabric-covered cushions throughout. Electrical systems include 12v and 220v with shore supply, two 100 Ah AGM service batteries, Victron inverter, and LED lighting with USB sockets in all cabins.

Safety and comfort equipment includes a six-person liferaft, EPIRB, comprehensive flare pack, auto and manual bilge pumps, electric anchor windlass with remote, and hot/cold pressure water system with cockpit shower. Miscellaneous inventory covers sun awning, fenders, mooring lines, and complete chandlery.
