YACHT DESCRIPTION

New to the market in San Diego, California 

The 1996 J/120 is a well-regarded racer/cruiser known for its performance and comfortable cruising accommodations, praised for its balance between speed and comfort, and its ability to be sailed effectively by a couple.   

  • Design and Performance:
    • The J/120 is a 40-foot sloop designed by Rod Johnstone, known for its performance and cruising capabilities.   
    • It's designed to be a fast cruiser for a couple, but also a competitive racer.   
    • The hull shape is described as moderate, with a broad bow, allowing the boat to be driven hard on reaches and in heavy air downwind.   
    • The boat has a light but well-built hull, powerful and easily managed sails, and a responsive helm.   
    • The cockpit is designed for convenience of steering and sail handling, with a big wheel and semi-balanced rudder.   
    • The J/120 can reach speeds in the mid-teens with a full crew and the right conditions, and can sail well with a mainsail alone, or with a mainsail and a small jib.   
  • Interior and Comfort:
    • The interior layout is fairly simple, with a good-sized galley, a spacious head, an aft cabin, and good storage.   
    • The boat has a focus on function and form over styling statements.   
    • Moving around the boat is easy, with handholds and foot braces in strategic locations.   
    • The winch placements are logical, and the wide side decks have good non-skid.   
  • Construction:
    • The J/120 is built with high-quality materials, including a high-quality SCRIMP balsa-core laminate construction with 65-70% glass content.   
    • The hull is molded with a resin-infusion process, using vacuum bagging and resin injection, to achieve a glass-to-resin ratio of 65 to 70 percent and minimal environmental impact during construction.   
  • Key Features:
    • The J/120 is known for its ability to sail short-handed.   
    • It has a retractable carbon-fiber J/Sprit for flying an asymmetrical spinnaker, which can be operated from the cockpit.   
    • Jibing is easy, requiring only letting go the old sheet and pulling in the new one.   
  • Awards and Recognition:
    • The J/120 was named Cruising World Magazine's Overall Boat-of-the-Year and Best Value in a Full-Size Cruiser.   
  • Overall:
    • The J/120 is a well-regarded racer/cruiser that offers a good balance between speed and comfort, making it suitable for both racing and cruising.   
    • It's a boat that sacrifices very little speed when compared to stripped-out racing machines, yet offers accommodations suitable for cruising comfor
