J Boats J/105

VIVACE represents a rare opportunity to purchase a J105 only raced for three seasons, and only day-sailed since by a very conscientious and knowledgeable owner. With her outstanding performance in any wind/ sea condition she is sure to please a wide variety of sailors.

VIVACE is a sailboat with extensive and thoughtful modifications and upgrades made by a very experienced yachtsman. Deck and sail handling hardware and running rigging as well as sophisticated B&G electronics (including autopilot) make her ideal for single-handed sailing, and short-handed PHRF racing. Of special note are the very lightly used downwind sails. The upgraded electrical system with battery monitors and solar panel give the owner added peace of mind. 

All systems have been maintained and upgraded continuously by one of New England's most respected boat yards. 

Upper and lower rudder bearings replaced recently.

VIVACE is currently fully commissioned in sail-away condition.
