JPK 1030 Mary

2019 JPK 1030 ‘Mary’– Proven Offshore Performer, Optimised for Short-Handed Racing

Few designs have achieved the offshore success and versatility of the JPK 1030 – the celebrated creation from Jean-Pierre Kelbert’s JPK yard in Brittany, renowned for its balance between power, control, and simplicity. The JPK 1030 has become the go-to platform for serious offshore sailors competing under IRC, combining exceptional performance with forgiving short-handed handling and excellent all-round balance.

Launched in 2019, Mary is a particularly well-prepared and continuously optimised example of the class. She has a track record of consistent good IRC Championship results – 5th (2021), 2nd (2022), 6th (2023), and 4th (2024) – a testament to her speed, preparation, and competitive pedigree.

Set up for shorthanded racing, she benefits from a full North Sails wardrobe, a carbon rig package, upgraded lithium systems, and a comprehensive NKE electronics suite – all meticulously maintained by a highly experienced owner.

Broker’s Remarks

The JPK 1030 remains the benchmark for modern IRC short-handed racing, and Mary is one of the most sorted examples currently available. With a proven results record, comprehensive North Sails inventory, and fully updated systems, she is a true turn-key offshore racer ready for the next campaign.

Whether your sights are set on the RORC series, IRC Double-Handed Nationals, or offshore classics such as the Fastnet or Middle Sea Race, Mary is a genuine contender.

Early inspection is highly recommended – boats of this calibre, preparation, and race record are seldom available.
