J105 “Resolute” Joins the Fleet!
We are excited to announce our newest addition to the Inspire Sailing Fleet — a sleek and sporty J105 named “Resolute”!
The J105 by J-Boats is one of the most exciting types of boats we’ve sailed! This popular one-design sport boat combines speed and performance with comfort and simplicity. The J105 is kind of like a bigger version of the familiar J24. So we are thrilled to introduce “Resolute” to Inspire Sailing members.
With an overall length of 34.5 feet and a deep fin keel (draft of 6.5 feet), the J105 is fast and responsive. Get on a beam reach, trim your sails, and blast off!
The cockpit is large and roomy, although it is not protected by a dodger like many boats of this size.
The mainsheet is attached to a wide traveller conveniently located just forward of the oversized wheel. As such, the helmsperson can either trim the mainsail while steering or just enjoy steering while a dedicated mainsheet trimmer keeps the boat powered up.
The roller-furling jib, slab reefing mainsail, and inboard engine add simplicity to sailing the J105. Like the J24, the J105 offers the usual sail-shaping controls too like the cunningham, outhaul, and adjustable backstay.
Down below, you’ll find a proper marine head, VHF radio/electronics, and long settees and V-berth with cushions.
Here are links to detailed descriptions and specs of the J105:
“Resolute” is the first vessel in our Sport Boat > 30’ fleet category. We look forward to building out this category of vessels for you to experience and enjoy. In fact, we have a second J105 already lined up and coming soon!
