What Is a J Boats J/100?
The J/100, a sleek 33-footer, has all the ingredients of looks, simplicity, speed, and price. This J/100 is eye-catching mooring candy with a beautiful blue hull and narrow beam. Note new standing rod rigging in 2022 with full bottom paint including stripping to bare bottom in 2023
The J/100 is quite clean on the deck, everything is led aft, making it easy for shorthanded sailing. Tiller steering is appropriate for this cruiser/racer.
The simplicity theme continues down below. Sleeping four, it has a large sail storage V-berth forward, and two side berths in the middle of the boat. A standard marine head and sink is forward and there's a door that separates the main part of the cabin from the V-berth. A large cooler serves as refrigeration. The easy access to the engine makes maintenance simple.
The J/100 feels like a large, stable dinghy with speed. The Hall Rig, Harken and Spinlock gear are all products that will last a long, long time.
The J/100 was the clear winner if The 2005 Sailing World-Boat of the Year Competition. With its aesthetically pleasing features, simplistic design, and superb sailing characteristics all bundled up at a remarkably low price.
