J Boats J112e

A highly versatile, sports-cruising yacht, the J/112E offers an optimized combination of performance and cruising comfort without compromising the real pleasure of sailing.

“MOON DUST” is an exceptional example of this innovative J112E model, highly spec’d and meticulously maintained by a very fastidious owner since new; as such, she is likely one of the best value-for-money craft we’ve seen…

Kitted out for performant club racing and lightly used mostly for infrequent family cruising, she has been regularly serviced through a rigorous annual maintenance routine including yard haul-out and servicing, sails valeting, upgrades and continuous loving care.
