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."
