2008 J Boats J/122 for Sale – 41 ft – Jamestown, RI, United States

The J/122 is the perfect marriage of all round J Boat performance with reassuring cruising
stability, live-aboard luxury and a proven race winning record. Quick and responsive, powerful and
stable, easy to handle, all with a beautiful hand-crafted cruising interior.

Developed with and built by J Composites in France, the J/122 is distinguished by a well-executed high quality interior, and a non-overlapping sail plan configuration that helps simplify the deck layout. The ease of an asymmetric spinnaker flown from a retractable carbon bowsprit makes it possible to achieve great performance with minimal crew effort.

Tarahumara is a two owner J/122 well equipped and maintained. With an upgraded electronics system and some newer sails, she is ready to race to Bermuda next year, but if you'd rather do some fast cruising, just add on the transom locker and dodger and you're ready to go either way! 

If you are looking for an exceptional 40' racer/cruiser, this is your boat.
