Grand Prix version of these great looking, stable and versatile cruiser / racers, designed by Rod Johnstone, with upgraded specification including high modulus carbon mast and boom, carbon backstay, Tuff Luff head foil, narrower / deeper keel and carbon wheel. In addition to being one of the most successful 40’ IRC yachts of her generation (IRC RATING: 1087), the J/122’s configuration has proven immensely popular with the double handed / cruising fraternity. Since the yacht was purchased in 2012, it has been raced extensively by its Guernsey based owner with considerable success and has also benefitted from a re-fit in 2017.
