Introduced in 1995 with 77 hulls built to date, the J/42 has become legendary for it's ease of operation and great stability which make it an exceptional seaworthy and fast boat.The J/42 is a well-regarded and proven model from J/Boats’ ocean cruising series and is popular with cruisers for it’s excellent performance and ease of handling. This Rod Johnstone design is at home at sea or on the race course. The hull is kept light and powerful for speed with narrow ends to ensure a pleasurable ride regardless of the weather. With a classic profile and two-cabin, two-head layout, this model’s characteristics of strength, stability, ease of handling, and comfort when sailing make it a yacht for all sailors. Finezza Veloce is one of the best J42 available today. From top to bottom, Finezza Veloce is prepared for your next adventure. Up until 2022, she has always been stored indoors at Lyman Morse during the winter. Pristinely maintained and custom upgraded over the years, she is equally set up for local cruising, blue water cruising, or racing. The current owners have used her for all. The boat comes with the "optional" offshore interior.
Before getting to the ownership and care let discuss the most recent upgrades. The previous owner , in 2018, had the Lyman-Morse Electronics department completely remove the old Raymarine system and upgrade her with the B&G Zeus system fully integrated to a NEMA2000 backbone. The on-deck instruments package is thorough and carefully laid out with the experience of this racing yachts family. The navigation station is complete with everything need to cruise the coast or get line honors in Bermuda.
Her sail package is extensive. Too many to list here, (See sails and rigging under the descriptions section) but there is a set up for every occasion. For simplified cruising or blue water racing, you will not need to do any shopping. They are all here. Doyle sails throughout and for every condition you will encounter. Finezza Veloce has many races under her belt, numerous Bermuda races, including 3rd in class twice.
Possibly the best quality of this vessel is she has always been owned by the same family. A multi-generational sailing and racing family, they know how to care for boats. Finezza Veloce has been in the annual care and maintenance of Lyman-Morse since day one. This relationship will allow the next owner to sail in safety and confidence knowing preventative care and top performance was the standard and upgrade were constant.

A lovely folding table seats 6 for dinner. The table is flanked by a custom L-shaped settee to port and a straight settee to starboard.

The U-shaped galley is very well laid out and would please any cook at sea. Generous counter space and storage is found here.
