The race-winning sport cruiser, the J/112E, will be on display at the Sydney International Boat Show, which is from 2 to 6 August at Darling Harbour, in Sydney, Australia. Also on display will be the pocket-rocket J/97E sport cruiser.

The J/112E has been on a tear in European offshore sailing circles. It is the 2018 Offshore Sailing World Champion (ORC and IRC), the 2018 IRC European Champion, two-time Round the Island winner (IRC class in 60nm round Isle of Wight race), Cowes Week IRC winner, and two-time SPI OUEST France IRC winner.

What is most remarkable about the J/112E's performance is that she's a fully-equipped cruising boat, too, with a gorgeous interior fit for a King and Queen; unlike its erstwhile competitors that are virtually stripped-out, full-on racing machines.

Learn more about the J/112E and how it can fit not only into your bucket list racing plans, but also how you can enjoy a very comfortable family cruise to your favorite islands and harbours.

Similarly, the J/97E sport cruiser is a proven winner, having won her class in Cowes Week, SPI OUEST France, La Rochelle Race Week, Warsash Spring Series, Hamble Winter Series, first in Class and second Overall in the Chicago-Mackinac Race (289nm), and J/Cup UK twice. Her amazingly commodious, well-appointed interior is perfect for a cruising couple that wants to get away from it all in a mobile, queen-size, suite that includes an office (sit-down nav table) and kitchen (big L-shaped galley)! Learn more about the J/97E here.
