2003 J BOAT J/120! Large sail inventory. She is ready to race or cruise!
Performance meets pedigree with this 2003 J Boats J/120, a proven racer-cruiser from the final years of production that showcases the timeless design work of Rod Johnstone.
Known for combining offshore-capable strength with exhilarating performance, the J/120 has earned a loyal following among sailors who want a boat that can compete seriously on the race course while still offering the comfort and practicality needed for coastal cruising.
This example has been maintained and thoughtfully equipped, making her an outstanding opportunity for the discerning sailor.
The sail plan is optimized for performance sailing, featuring a masthead sloop rig with an aluminum spar and efficient deck layout for short-handed or fully crewed sailing.
With a deep sail inventory already on board, this J/120 is well suited for competitive racing while remaining easily adaptable for cruising. A feathering prop enhances sailing efficiency by reducing drag under sail, further improving light-air performance and overall speed.
Below decks, the interior reflects the J/120's racer-cruiser mission, offering a clean, functional layout with comfortable accommodations for overnight or weekend cruising. The salon provides settee seating and a practical dining area, while the galley is equipped for meal preparation on longer trips.
Forward and aft cabins offer private sleeping spaces, making the boat suitable for family cruising or distance racing with crew. The fit and finish are purposeful yet welcoming, emphasizing durability and ease of use.
With modern electronics enhancing navigation and situational awareness, this 2003 J/120 is equally at home lining up for the start of a regatta or setting off on a relaxed coastal passage.
Fast, capable, and backed by a legendary design pedigree, she represents a rare chance to own one of the most respected performance cruiser-racers of her era, ready to deliver both thrilling sailing and memorable time on the water.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
We have several more Hunter, Gulfstar, Herreshoff, and Whitby Boat Works vessels for sale. If you're in the New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, or Manhattan areas, please contact us to let us know what you're looking for and we'll get back with you today about any other racing sailboat options we have locally that may meet your needs.
You have questions? We have answers. Call us at (941) 538-7803 to discuss this vessel today.
