J BOATS J/35 "SPIRIT"  

Of all the great designs that J/Boats has offered, the J/35 stands out as a performance IRC & PHRF winner - still to this day. Her pure hull form, an easily driven shape free of rule-induced rating modifications that contributed to boats difficult to sail, moderate displacement and long waterline length and an uncomplicated rig produced a forgiving boat with responsiveness and great performance over a wide range of conditions. Easily managed shorthanded or 2 up, with plenty of interior space for practical accommodation, she also shares the life of a cruising boat. Her interior layout with 6'3" headroom, includes sleeping for 6, between the double forepeak berth, port and starboard settees and two large quarter berths. There is a bi-fold teak table that stows against the bulkhead when not in use. When down, it exposes a magazine rack. The head lies between two bulkheads that separate the main salon from the forepeak. Spirit sports a bullet proof double-spreader masthead rig, a fin keel and inboard spade rudder. Lots of upgrades and maintenance completed recently on the boat such as: new Boom 2024, engine maintained professionally maintained annually. The professionally maintained Yanmar 3GM30 has only done 963 hours, the sails are in excellent condition with 4 spinnakers, she has a great dodger for cruising - Spirit presents in unbelievable condition and is one of the best racer / cruisers you could buy for this money.
