This incredibly clean 2011 J/95 is a unique and highly versatile performance cruiser that combines J/Boats' legendary sailing characteristics with shallow-water capability and comfortable overnight accommodations. Designed by Rod Johnstone, the J/95 was built for sailors who want spirited performance without sacrificing the ability to explore thin-water harbors, rivers, and coastal anchorages. With its innovative centerboard design, the boat draws just under 4 feet with the board up, making it exceptionally versatile while still delivering impressive upwind performance when fully lowered.
Light, responsive, and easy to handle, the J/95 offers the exciting sailing feel J/Boats are known for while remaining manageable for short-handed crews or family sailing. The large cockpit, efficient deck layout, and balanced sail plan make the boat equally enjoyable for club racing, daysailing, or weekend cruising. Her lightweight construction and modern hull shape allow for excellent performance in a wide range of conditions, whether sailing upwind or reaching comfortably offshore.
Below deck, the J/95 features a clean and functional interior with warm teak finishes, settee seating, enclosed head, galley area, and comfortable berths for overnight trips. The layout is simple yet practical, offering all the essentials needed for extended weekends aboard without unnecessary complexity.
The 2011 J/95 stands apart as a rare blend of shallow-draft accessibility, true sailing performance, and cruising comfort. Whether you are looking for a fast coastal cruiser, a capable daysailer, or a boat that can confidently explore waters inaccessible to deeper-draft designs, the J/95 delivers a sailing experience that is both exciting and remarkably versatile.
