Ceilidh – J/121 | Offshore Capability Meets Short-Handed Performance
Ceilidh is a well-prepared and proven J/121, equally at home racing around the buoys, competing in distance events, or taking on serious offshore passages. Previously safety certified for both the Newport to Bermuda and Halifax offshore races, she is turnkey and ready for her next program.
Designed for modern sailing, the J/121 delivers exceptional performance with a crew of five or fewer, making it one of the most capable and versatile short-handed offshore sailboats in its class.
The J/121 is also a comfortable, short-handed coastal cruiser. With a large cockpit, a full head, and a full galley (refrigeration), the J/121 is perfect for a week-long cruise with friends and family
Key Features
Design & Performance
The J/121 is a 40’ offshore speedster that combines high-performance sailing with remarkable ease of handling. Built with a focus on efficiency and balance, it allows sailors to push the boat hard without the need for a large crew.

It’s a platform that supports everything from competitive racing programs to adventure sailing, all with less complexity and more freedom.
