Overview

Some yachts are built to race. Others are built to cruise. This J/109 2003 was designed to do both—and to do them exceptionally well.

Elegant, responsive, and immensely capable, this 2003 J/109 offers the rare opportunity to own one of the most respected performance cruiser-racers ever built. Equally at home on the start line, crossing open water, or enjoying a relaxed weekend with family and friends, she delivers exhilarating sailing without compromising comfort.

With her powerful yet forgiving hull, deep lead keel, spacious two-cabin layout, and beautifully balanced helm, she inspires confidence in every condition. Below decks, warm teak joinery, generous accommodation, and practical amenities create a welcoming retreat after a rewarding day under sail.

Whether your ambition is to compete in offshore races, explore distant coastlines, or simply enjoy the pure pleasure of sailing a yacht with pedigree, this J/109 is ready to write her next chapter..

Broker Comments

A beautiful J109 with carbon mast and boom from 2003. An excellent cruiser racer from a class that is both competitive offshore and with an active one design racing scene inshore. This example is well equipped for both cruising and racing. Keen yachtsmen aspire to own them, and love them when they do. Lying in Fowey- viewings to be arrange via Ancasta, Falmouth
