2006 J Boats J/100Sold

Slide aboard and you’ll notice how cleanly everything falls to hand—self-tailing primaries right where you want them, halyards and control lines led aft, and a cockpit sized for real sailing, not just lounging. The tiller gives you that fingertip feel J/100s are known for, and the balanced sail plan lets you keep her on her feet even when the breeze comes up. Below, it’s simple but refined: just enough joinery, storage, and finish to make overnights comfortable without adding weight or clutter. Under power, the inboard diesel pushes her easily, and the narrow hull and fine entry make docking in tight slips far less stressful than on bulkier daysailers.

This J/100 shines in local conditions where light morning zephyrs often build to a lively afternoon breeze. The easily driven hull and generous sail area let you ghost along when others are motoring, yet she has the stiffness and balance to stay quick and composed when the chop fills in. Shoal draft opens up those shallow coves and inner harbors that deeper-keel performance boats simply can’t reach, giving you more options for daysailing and casual overnights. With her manageable systems and efficient deck layout, she’s perfectly suited for short-handed sailing, quick after-work spins, or spirited weekend races on the local circuit.
