The J/145 is the answer for sailors seeking great performance, but not at the cost of unprotected cockpits, sparse interiors or complex overpowering rigs. And the J/145 is the answer too, for those who seek grace and elegance in their cruising comforts...but not at the cost of performance.
It's surprising how many owners of heavy displacement cruisers discover their passage-making to be 75% motoring and only 25% sailing. The J/145 solves this problem, bringing back the romance of sailing. This design is unique among boats over 45 feet in offering the proper balance: A boat that's a joy to sail fast with as few as two people while at the same time being comfortable to live aboard and to entertain on.
