J/105

Introduction
If your home is near the water, the J/105 may be your ideal sailboat. Count up the number of nights spent sleeping aboard and compare that to the number of picnic sails when you would have liked a larger, more comfortable cockpit. The J/105 is the answer. Her large cockpit combined with simple 4-5 berth week-ending layout results in two significant owner benefits: (1) Significant savings in little-used furniture, systems and cabinetry needed for extended cruising, and (2) A boat that’s easier to handle, more comfortable in waves and more fun to sail for its size. The J/105 has the stability, rig and sail controls to handle 15-20 knot winds without the need of reefing. It has the strength and seaworthiness for ocean going passages.

Sailing World Magazine’s panel of experts selected the J/105 as Boat-of-the-Year among racer-cruisers in 1992 and since then the model has gone from strength to strength. Over 660 J/105s have been launched worldwide, fulfilling a variety of needs. Enthusiasm for this great boat continues to blossom.

“A gust of wind, blowing about 25 mph, accelerated the J/105 up to a sustained speed of over 14 knots.”
