Yahoo35' J Boats J/109 Shoal 2004
$ 115,000
This 2004 J/109 Shoal Draft offers an exceptional balance of performance and versatility, making it an ideal choice for sailors who demand speed without sacrificing access to shallow cruising grounds. Equipped with Carbon Spars, this J/109 delivers enhanced stiffness, reduced weight aloft, and improved overall sailing performance.
Well-regarded as a true performance cruiser, the J/109 combines responsive handling with a comfortable, practical interior suitable for both racing and extended cruising. The desirable shoal draft configuration allows you to explore waters that deeper-draft performance boats simply cannot reach—without compromising the sailing characteristics that have made the J/109 so popular.
If you're looking for a fast, capable racer-cruiser but require a draft under 7 feet, Yahoo stands out as an ideal solution for performance sailing in skinny water. She is moored at the Savannah Yacht Club.
