J Boats J 120

Exceptional performance and construction earned the J/120 the distinction of being Cruising World magazine's overall boat of the year and the best value in a full-sized cruising boat. Aside from its accolades in the cruising world, the J/120 has excelled on the racecourse over the last 30 years and is still a relevant contender in any race - distance, club, and around the buoys. Short handed or family cruising this boat is also a pleasue to sail.

Permanent mooring of this J120 boat has always been on fresh water. Over the years, it has been well maintained and kept in excellent condition.

What makes this J120 unique?

Carbon mast, keel and deck construction revised and improved, NKE electronics including regatta compass, complete set of high quality and well maintained sail set (North Sails jib and gennaker, Quantum Sails code zero including custom built waterstay and main sail).

Full keel inspection was perfomed by Schaap Shipcare in 2016. Keel has been completely removed and reinforced with additional glass fiber plates.

A known problem of the J120 boats (water leakage at the chainplate) has also been fixed in 2016 by Schaap Shipcare.

Annual maintenance of engine perfomed by Modus Marine.
