The J/109 is the embodiment of the cruiser/racer and has made a name for J/Boats in this segment. At J/Boats, sailing comes first, and the rest of the choices are derived from that. This J/109 was built in 2005 and launched in 2006 in England. In 2009, it was brought to the Netherlands by the current owner. This means that there are English sockets on board. The boat has had annual maintenance and has been taken out of the water each year for polishing, waxing, and new antifouling. The engine has also been serviced annually. Additionally, the keel bolts were tightened last year, and in 2010, the rudder bearings were replaced. Recently, a leak at the transom and stern light was repaired. This J/109 is equipped with a roller genoa and, of course, the famous J/Boats retractable bowsprit. In the cockpit, there is the highly sought-after removable dock box that closes off the back of the boat and can easily be placed on the shore for racing and put back in. The bimini is as good as new because it has never been used. Above the companionway and at the mast are the instrument displays, next to the steering wheel are the engine controls and the autopilot controls. Inside, the boat is equipped with pilot berths for more storage space. There is some cosmetic damage and signs of use inside. But nothing that hinders normal use. The layout includes a large forward cabin, a portside cabin aft, a starboard wet cell, and a large storage area accessible from both the wet cell and the cockpit. In short, a neat boat that is ready for its next user who can enjoy a good and sporty sailing boat.
The J/109 features the popular carbon fiber retractable bowsprit and asymmetric spinnaker system and a versatile 2-cabin interior layout with standing headroom. She is designed with a very low VCG, long waterline, and generous sailplan with the horsepower for competitive racing and stability for relaxed cruising when the racing crew is not aboard. The J/109 fits within the current J/Boat sprit range as a stable, easy-to-sail performance boat with the interior volume necessary for comfortable cruising and a great dual purpose deck layout. The sleek profile and generous sailplan give one an immediate sense of the speed potential of the J/109. The hull profile reveals a long waterline, low wetted surface and a low VCG fin keel (7 feet), designed for excellent stability when sailing short-handed. The deck/cockpit layout is a cross between the J/105 and J/120, the two J/stable-mates that clearly bracket the targeted market for the J/109. 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 interior is European-style with two private sleeping cabins and an option for a pull-out double in the large main cabin. The L-shaped galley includes a double sink, 2-burner propane stove and a pressure water system. The nav station is a large sit-down forward-facing console with abundant space for instrument displays. The head is conveniently located aft near the companionway, providing easy access from the cockpit while underway.
