2003 J Boats J109

This J/109 presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained and actively campaigned example of this highly successful performance cruiser-racer. Since purchase in 2021, the current owner has invested significantly in mechanical upgrades, rigging improvements, and new racing sails. Optimised for competitive IRC and one-design racing, the boat remains equally at home on a relaxed coastal cruise. The boat reflects well that the current owners have maintained the boat well and professionally, taking care to include a dull set of interior and exterior covers in order to preserve the finer touches. Under this ownership, this J/109 has competed successfully at Cowes Week, consistently placing well in fleet competition — including a 3rd place finish in the J/109 class at the 2025 event. This J/109 has been carefully maintained and optimised for performance without compromising reliability or comfort. With new engine and saildrive, an up-to-date rig, and an excellent recent sail wardrobe, she is ready for her next chapter — whether that’s more Cowes Week podiums or fast cruising weekends. A strong mix of modern racing sails and serviceable cruising sails:
