Sugar Boat | 53' J Boats 1997

The J Boats J/160 is a 53-foot sailing yacht is from the collaboration of J/Boats and TPI Composites. Boasting advanced composite construction and a low centre of gravity, the J/160 offers efficiency with reduced sail needs, lower winch loads, and easy manageability akin to a 42-footer. Her advanced composite construction, coupled with a well-designed, sleek hull shape makes this J/160 the perfect performance cruiser. She's safe, stable, easy to sail short-handed, and keeps the crew dry and comfortable while on the water.

Whether you're an experienced offshore sailor or a newer boater looking for a spacious live-aboard option, this is a great choice.

This yacht is in a transferrable LLC!

Yacht also has a recent marine survey, engine survey and sea trial report available for review (September 2024).

“Today most designers focus their new designs on obtaining the best boat speed for a given volume and layout. The J/160 addresses a size range that is very popular today. I'll warn you ahead of time that this is precisely my type of boat.” Robert Perry

If you are a traditionalist you will likely love the profile of this boat. Note the strong sheer line and clipped overhangs coupled with a shapely cabin trunk. Side decks are very wide, and the cockpit is big. The cockpit coamings are cut away aft to open up the entire deck area for the helmsman. All dimensions and proportions are on the svelte side, promising a boat that will sail extremely quickly.

As for aesthetics, J/160 is traditional in a functional and purposeful way. Short overhangs are combined with a smooth sweep of the sheer line and low freeboard to reduce wind resistance and facilitate boarding. The bow sections are flared to deflect waves downward, keeping the decks dry. The triple spreader rig conveys a graceful power, giving no hint of how easily it is managed.

This yacht has been meticulously maintained inside and out. The interior is spacious, clean in execution, beautifully appointed and exquisitely finished, befitting a proper flagship. Every detail and need has been addressed in terms of provisioning, equipment and storage space for coastal and offshore cruising. The finely crafted interior teak trim has been carefully upgraded to a hand oiled and waxed finish using natural based materials establishing a subtle satin surface.

She has the desirable three-cabin, two-head interior layout, along with a large cockpit that's perfect for entertaining and lounging.
