J/112E Performance Cruiser-Racer — Built for Speed, Designed for Simple Handling

The J/112E has earned its reputation as the “sweet spot” between true race performance and real cruising comfort.
The hull and deck are built using high-tech resin infusion (SCRIMP), creating a stiff, light structure that translates directly
into upwind efficiency, downwind stability, and an easy motion through Mediterranean chop. A reinforced structural grid and integrated mast step
improve rigidity and load distribution—exactly what performance sailors want for consistent rig tune and responsive helm feel.

On deck, the layout is designed to be fast without being complicated. Controls are practical and cockpit-friendly, making this boat
ideal for short-handed sailing and weekend regattas. The carbon retractable bowsprit supports modern sail plans
(Code 0 / asymmetric), while the efficient keel package—fin keel with lead bulb—keeps the boat powerful and composed.

Below, you get genuine cruising functionality: a comfortable saloon, proper galley, and a sensible 2-cabin layout with storage.
In short: this is a race-ready cruiser you can still enjoy as a family or for quick Mediterranean escapes—without needing a big crew
or high-maintenance systems.

Broker Remarks

A highly versatile, sports-cruising yacht, the J/112E offers an optimised combination of performance and cruising comfort without compromising the real pleasure of sailing. “MOON DUST” is an exceptional example of this innovative 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. Offered for sale due to owners’ change of plans, she must be seen and tested to be truly appreciated.
