2016 J Boats J/95

Sag Harbor, New York

$129,000

Preliminary Listing 

J Boats built this 31 foot luxury performance dayboat with as little as a 3 foot draft. While designed to be a great sailing and seaworthy boat in any depth of water, this boat is perfect for the growing number of waterfront homeowners in thin water areas, who would sail on home waters, if they had the right sailboat.

The J/95 sports a sleek hull with long waterline and high form stability, combined with a carbon fiber mast and low VCG (vertical center of gravity) lead keel with fully retractable, pivoting centerboard. The result is an exceptionally fast and stable boat capable of performing on all points of sail in both board-up (3’ draft) and board-down
(5.5’ draft) configurations.

This beautiful J95 is very well equipped and updated: 2022 3DI North Sails, 2022 Raymarine chartplotter and a custom Triad trailer.

Manufacturer Provided Description

This elegant 31 foot design offers an exciting level of sailing joy, and broadens the daysailing and weekending horizons of those living on the many shallow bays of New England, the Cape, Great South Bay, the Jersey Shore and Chesapeake, Low Country of Georgia and the Carolinas, the Intracoastal, Bahamas, Florida Keys, the Gulf Coast, inland lakes of the Mid & South West and estuaries of Northern California and the Pacific Northwest.Because it's a J Boat, you know the J/95 will be a great sailing and seaworthy boat in any depth of water. The latest in modern hull design with long waterline is combined with a carbon fiber mast and low VCG (vertical center of gravity) lead keel containing a fully retractable centerboard. The result is an exceptionally fast and stable boat capable of sailing in 3 feet of water. J/95 will outperform existing, deeper-draft keel dayboats of the retro "pretty" genre by a wide margin and in many cases at a fraction of the cost. The J/95 offers the best of both worlds?.now you can moor a beautiful yacht off the end of your dock without having to limit how far you can sail in a day.The J/95 features a comfortable T-shaped cockpit (the same size as the 40 foot J/122) with removable transom locker; wheel steering; a retractable bow sprit in a hidden housing for some downwind fun with masthead asymmetric spinnaker; two berths for the occasional overnight adventure; enclosed marine head; and a 15 hp diesel auxiliary saildrive to get you home if the wind dies. J/95 is unique in that it's designed to sail well on all points whether in "shoal" mode with board up or in "deep" mode with the board down. When one does run aground (and almost all boats eventually do), the center board will pivot up creating potentially far less damage than what would be expected with a deep keel or vertical dagger board grounding. Not since the introduction of the J/22 in 1983 has such an exciting new keelboat been available to sailors who live near shoal water areas. These areas are simply not reachable with most keelboats, let alone one that looks and performs so beautifully.
