ALIBI has had just one owner since new, and has benefited from numerous upgrades to keep her in great shape for both racing and cruising. A few stand-out features and upgrades:
This 2000 model was built by J/Composites in France. She is identical to the US-built J/120 on deck and below the waterline, but her interior has more refined finishes giving her a higher-end feel onboard. These include a larger salon table containing the house battery bank directly over the keel, a fully built companionway instead of the removable companionway ladder, and a diesel engine with sail drive rather than a shaft.
Highly recommended - contact the listing broker for complete details.
