J/105: Andiamo

j105We are excited to have Andiamo, a J/105, join the WFC fleet!

The concept behind the J/105 was to produce boats that are fast, strong, fun and easy to sail while racing in One Design fleets or cruising with sails furled and swim ladder swung off the transom.The large cockpit of the J/105 makes it extremely comfortable and the simplicity of the layout makes it manageable for two or three experienced sailors to take the boat on their own in most conditions. Accommodations for an overnight cruise are appropriate for up to four adults with a small galley and sitting area. Andiamo comes equipped with an auxiliary diesel engine and a fresh water holding tank. Give us a call today to reserve the boat for a day or overnight adventure!

If you are interested in chartering a larger keelboat for racing, you have come to the right place! The J/105 is the most successful one-design keelboat class over 30' in the USA and most specifically on the east coast. With a large and active local fleet (Fleet 6: www.j105.org/fleet6) there is never a shortage of races to attend whether it’s Block Island Race Week, American or Manhasset Race Series or a single day local event on Long Island Sound. Please contact us for special pricing!
