2003 J BOAT J/120! Large sail inventory. She is ready to race or cruise!
Performance meets pedigree. Eostre is a well-maintained J/120 from the final years of production, designed by Rod Johnstone and built by J Boats to be a fast, capable racer-cruiser. With a deep sail inventory and modern electronics she's equally capable as an offshore racer or comfortable coastal cruiser.
Eostre has participated in offshore events including the Block Island Race and extended cruising passages from Connecticut to the Bahamas. The boat has also been consistently shrink wrapped and protected during winter storage over the past four years.
