The J/105 is one of the most successful One-Design keelboats ever built, with over 680 boats worldwide-and one of the strongest, most competitive fleets right here in San Diego. Its strict one-design rules and owner-driver focus create close, Corinthian racing and an active local community that's hard to match.

Designed for maximum fun with minimal crew, the J/105 features a large, comfortable cockpit and a simple 4-berth interior-perfect for day sailing, racing, and occasional overnights without the cost and complexity of a full cruiser. The efficient layout means less maintenance and more time on the water.

With a proven hull, responsive handling, and a sprit-driven asymmetric spinnaker, the J/105 delivers exciting performance in a wide range of conditions while remaining easy to sail short-handed. It's equally at home on the racecourse or out for a relaxed sail with friends.

"VIGOR" is offered for sale by Mike Dorgan in San Diego, CA and has been a part of the San Diego Yacht Club's famous Invitational "Lipton Cup and Masters Regatta" series, sailed in a round-robin format so that each team sails each boat in the fleet over a 12-race series.

If you're looking for a high-performance sailboat with a thriving local fleet, good resale value, and a reputation for fun, the J/105 stands in a class of its own. For more information, or to get onboard, please reach out to Mike ASAP and hopefully we can get you out on the water sailing soon!
