The J/32 is one of J/Boats' most versatile designs-combining the speed and responsiveness the brand is known for with the comfort of a true cruising yacht. With her balanced sail plan, large cockpit, and spacious two-cabin interior, she is equally at home daysailing, racing in local regattas, or weekending in comfort.

This J/32 features a fractional rig with a powerful mainsail and roller furling headsail, making her easy to sail short-handed. Her wide side decks, efficient deck layout, and well-placed winches keep sail handling simple and safe. The large cockpit is perfect for entertaining or stretching out on passage, while the walk-through transom with swim platform and ladder adds convenience for swimming or dinghy access.

Below, the interior is bright, airy, and finished in warm cherry joinery. The salon seats six comfortably around the fold-down dinette table, with a fully equipped galley to starboard and a nav station to port. A generous V-berth cabin forward provides comfortable accommodations. A large enclosed head with shower at the companionway to port adds cruising practicality.

Well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped, this J/32 represents an excellent opportunity to own a performance cruiser that's fun to sail and comfortable to live aboard.

Highlights include:

  • Proven J/Boats design-performance and comfort in one package
  • Fractional rig with roller furling headsail for easy handling
  • Spacious cockpit with walk-through transom and swim platform
  • Comfortable two-cabin, one-head interior with bright cherry joinery
  • Reliable Yanmar diesel engine & SSB Radio
  • Well-suited for singlehanded sailing, cruising, or club racing
