J Boats J/111

Racing enthusiasts know J Boats - and the J/111 in particular - needs no introduction. Fast, nimble and quick to accelerate with carbon fiber mast and sprit, these boats are renowned race day favorites. Hull number 29, this J/111 "Kraken" is outfitted and ORC measured to win local and offshore races, yet is one design compliant. With her extensive sail inventory and the right wind, she quickly gets on plane and runs to 16 knots or better.

Features: B&G H5000 Hercules computer, two B&G plotters, three Garmin GND120 displays on the mast (the HV20/20s are available too), two H5000 graphic displays above the companionway, a WM-4 weather and Sirius satellite receiver, and more. All lights are LED, and the navigation lights are fully submersible Marine Beam units. Kraken is powered by a 270Ah LFP battery bank that runs the whole boat for more than 40 hours, but weighs less than 50 pounds. When the battery is low, fire up the engine so the Balmar 6 Series 120 amp alternator charges it in just several hours.
