HEJIRA Boat for Sale

Hejira Boat | 42' J Boats 2001

PRICE REDUCTION

The J/42 has become legendary for ease of operation and impressive stability. This design has won nearly every major cruising canvas race in the Caribbean as well as the Annapolis-Newport Race.   The original J/42 was further refined in the J/42 "L" to include features sought by the cruising sailor who plans to make the boat a home.

The interior of the J/42L is elegantly finished in varnished cherry with paneled doors. Interior hull surfaces in staterooms are lined with cherry battens. An "L" shaped settee with pullout double-berth to port, fold-up main cabin table with storage rack and redesigned settees create an entirely new and more spacious main cabin. The forepeak cabin is changed to include a fixed double-V berth with drawers and lockers underneath plus full-length shelves with higher fiddles and a centerline cabinet above the berths. Similar changes were made in the aft double-cabin.  

My favorite feature is the Stainless Bimini-Arch. Instead of having GPS, Radar, etc. on separate mounts off the stern rail and a floppy canvas Bimini; Thurston (Wickford, RI) made a rigid stainless Bimini with a lightweight fiberglass top. Mounted on top is a solar panel array, radar, and all antennas, which provides better protection while at the helm and a more elegant solution to the jungle of accessories normally found on cruising boats.
