Boats We Love: J/105, the Game-Changer
The J/105 profile: low freeboard, straight sheer, deep fin keel with a bulb, low coachroof. Uncompromising good looks for a modern boat, and a nice trendsetter. Any performance sailor knows the rest of the story: There was a well-considered method in the madness at J Boats. The 105 became a tremendously popular one-design race boat.
J/105
The Design. Like most other J-Boats, the 34-1/2-foot, 7,750-pound J/105 is for people who enjoy speed and responsiveness. If you drive a Lincoln Town Car, buy a Tartan 4600. If you drive a Boxster, buy a J/105. Anyone who has planed a daysailer knows the thrill of getting the hull up out of the water and boogeying.
Perry Design Review: J/105
The J Boats J/105. Quarter Tonners were wonderful little beasties. Like all IOR boats, their ends were pinched while beam was exaggerated. Stability was reduced to optimize CCF, and rigs were tall. Many of these boats were rockets upwind in light air but lacked the power for heavy air.

Why J/105? A SAILING WORLD Magazine Review
The J/105 is such a boat - it's a return to the notion that a simple sailplan, clean deck layout, practical interior, and high performance are the best ingredients for both racing and cruising. It's a return also to the idea that a boat's looks can be as tangibly important as its interior volume. During the 1980s this particular idea mix was ...

Why J/105? A SAIL Magazine Review
In the J/105 (10.5 meters LOA) designer Rod Johnstone has gone for high end power and an interior that is as simple as possible to provide the maximum speed-to-cost ratio. The boat has low freeboard for minimal wind resistance, a low center of gravity, and the look of speed that Johnstone likes. Although the overall beam is not extreme, there ...
J/105: The asymmetric fleet racer turned offshore fast cruiser
While no subsequent J-boat has matched the J/24 in sales, the brand nevertheless became hugely successful across the globe. The company went on to lead the world in adopting asymmetric spinnakers, first with the J/22 in 1983 and then the J/92 in 1992 and J/105 three years after that. The latter was also set up to allow easy short-handed sailing.
J 105
Beam 11 ft. Draft 6 ft. 6in. (shoal) 5 ft. 6 in. Displacement 7,750 lbs. Sitting quietly at its mooring, the J/105 has a mean and hungry look. With low freeboard, a soaring double-spreader fractional rig, open cockpit and an ergonomic deck layout, the 105 is a highly strung thoroughbred, ready to charge out of a starting gate.
