2000 J Boats J/42

J/42    “While classic in profile and layout, J/42 steps into the future when considering structural strength performance, ease-of-handling, stability and sailing comfort. This progress is now available to the cruising sailor in a boat that handles like a 35 footer with the solid feel and motion of a 50 footer. When a gust of wind hits the J/42 it's as though someone pushed forward the throttles on a Concorde jet. Slicing though waves, there's little fuss. A slight lift of the bow over a wave is rapidly dampened. There is none of the three-dimensional pitch and roll often accepted as a rigor of cruising.” ~ J/BoatsConstruction     “The patented SCRIMP process pulls triple the normal vacuum-bagging levels to draw all the air out of cored hull & deck laminates and to draw a slow-curing resin into every void in a single step. It's a better and healthier way to build boats because toxic styrene emissions are eliminated. It offers higher strength (65% vs. typical 40% glass content) and a void-free laminate far superior to hand lay-up or chopper gun construction. The savings in weight is added to the bottom of the keel in the form of a lead bulb, shaped as an inverted wedge with a tapered tail aft. This is why J/42's center of gravity (CG) is so much lower than other cruisers.” ~ J/BoatsPerformance    “A low VCG means greater stability, which means better sail carrying ability. The greater sail area dampens the motion of hull/deck/rig in waves. Pitch & roll create resistance to water flow around the hull and air flow past the sails. By reducing resistance, the J/42 sails faster and more comfortably. Seakindliness, how a boat handles the sea, also relates to how it handles the crew at sea and how the crew may subsequently enjoy interior amenities when arriving in port.    Sailing J/42 is easy for one person, thanks to superb wheel response and a common-sense sailplan. J/42-balances well and sails upwind faster under mainsail only (over 6 kts) than some cruisers using both main and large genoa. Since a mainsail is the easiest of any sail to operate: there's less need for expert crews no need to reef when it blows 25 kts; and, visibility is greatly improved. A 100% jib is all one needs for cruising upwind at 7.2 knots. You get an added bonus of better visibility and there's little need for grinding of winches. When you sail a J/42 you soon learn that progress in yacht design and construction makes a big difference in your sailing enjoyment.” ~ J/BoatsHullWhite gelcoat topsidesDark green painted boot stripeDark green cove accent stripeDeckWhite gelcoat finishes with beige textured nonskid    Deck EquipmentDouble rail welded stainless steel stern railDouble rail welded stainless steel bow pulpit and stern railStainless steel stanchionsStainless steel wire upper and lower lifelines with gates port and starboard ~ 2022Stainless steel mooring cleatsFolding stainless steel swim ladderStainless steel handrails on the cabin trunk topOpening deck hatches with acrylic lenses and aluminum on the cabin trunk topDorade ventilator boxes on the cabin top x 2Stainless steel cowl x 2Lewmar opening portlights with acrylic lenses and aluminum frames on the sides of the cabin trunkYanmar instrument panel with analog gaugesEdson steering pedestal with a 40” diameter stainless steel wheelEdson teak cockpit tableRitchie compassAnalog fuel gaugeInterior    “The Ideal Cruising Interior.
