2005 J Boats 53' Harmony

Accommodation:

A three cabin – two head layout featuring a queen island berth (in lieu of the traditional pilot berth forward),

As richly appointed as any custom yacht, the J/160 interior features a fully varnished cherry interior with raised panel doors and varnished teak and holly soles. There is an abundance of natural light and ventilation with sixteen opening ports, six hatches, and two large polished stainless steel dorades. She is also equipped with three units of reverse cycle air conditioning (heating and cooling) as well as Espar diesel cabin heater when one wishes to avoid the use of the generator. Superb/upgraded 12 Volt interior lighting throughout with numerous overhead dome style lamps and swivel reading lamps at all berths and settees.

Starting forward, the Master Stateroom features a queen size island berth with four large lockers under. Six outboard double lockers and bureau; hanging locker aft. The Master Head is aft and to port and features a VacuFlush head, polished stainless steel sink with Sea Gull filtration; a separate shower stall with teak seat and grate.

Next aft is the Main Salon with a large U-shaped settee to port and straight settee to starboard. The port settee was custom designed and built to allow a couple to stretch out at the forward and aft ends, to read or comfortably watch the TV which is centered over the starboard settee and smartly built into the cabinetry. Outboard of both settees are lockers and bookcases. Dining is from a large pedestal table with storage compartment within that could easily seat eight. 

The Gourmet Galley includes large freezer and refrigerator (top and side loading) with Sea Frost holding plates – operates via engine, gen set or shore power.

Continuing aft to starboard is a Guest Stateroom, a large double berth with a bureau, hanging locker, and private head/shower access. The Guest Head is located just forward, with access opposite the galley and the starboard Guest Stateroom. It has Sea Gull water filtration, a cherry counter, and a polished stainless-steel sink.

Opposite to port is a second Guest Stateroom that was designed as a single berth and included a washer/dryer combo unit. The washer/dryer has since been removed and converted into additional storage.

Sails, Mast, Rigging:

 North sails – 3Di Endurance molded composite sails. 

(Excerpt from North Sails) - 3Di is a unique, patented sailmaking technology that produces the world's fastest and most reliable sails. 3Di sails mirror the balanced load bearing and shape holding of a rigid airfoil wing. They are constructed from spread filament tapes, contain no Mylar film and are 3D molded into a one-piece flexible composite sail structure. 3Di sails also feature fully integrated batten pockets, corner reinforcements, and reef structure. These sails have undergone rigorous global testing to ensure unmatched longevity and reliability. Remarkably, numerous 3Di ENDURANCE sails have accumulated the equivalent of more than two circumnavigations and continue to perform flawlessly. 3Di Endurance sails represent state of the art in high performance and reliability.
