A highly versatile, sports-cruising yacht, the J/112E offers an optimized combination of performance and cruising comfort without compromising the real pleasure of sailing.
“MOON DUST” is an exceptional example of this innovative J 112E model, highly spec’d and meticulously maintained by a very fastidious owner since new; as such, she is likely one of the best value-for-money craft we’ve seen…
Kitted out for performant club racing and lightly used mostly for infrequent family cruising, she has been regularly serviced through a rigorous annual maintenance routine including yard haul-out and servicing, sails valeting, upgrades and continuous loving care.
