A wonderful example of the versatile 109, she has been lightly raced at the club level. Cruised short-handed by her knowledgeable owner. She has all the right options to make her both beautiful and a joy to cruise or race and there are many recent updates. The owner's desire to move up creates this great opportunity.
The J/109 features the popular carbon fiber retractable bowsprit and asymmetric spinnaker system and a cruise worthy 2-cabin interior layout with standing headroom. She is designed with a very low VCG and long waterline. The generous sail plan affords the horse power for competitive racing and stability for relaxed cruising when the racing crew is not aboard. The J/109 is stable, easy to sail, and a proven performance boat. Her spacious interior and amenities insure comfortable cruising and the deck has a great dual purpose layout. Sail handling systems follow the J philosophy of keeping things easy. Halyards and reef lines are cockpit led, mainsheet controls are within reach of the wheel, and inboard sheeting tracks permit the use of both overlapping and non-overlapping headsails. There is ample on-deck stowage, thanks to the removable transom locker, cockpit seat locker and a bow compartment large enough for both the anchor rode and the asymmetric spinnaker. The J/109 is easily handled short-handed.
