Perhaps the Finest J-120 on the market today - ANYWHERE!!!No expense spared by the current owner. All the racing gear all the cruising gear ready to take you on new adventures today!!!Viva La Vida is the lowest priced 1999 on the market worldwide and she is definitely better prepared and in better condition than ANY J-120 currently offered.A Perfect First Offshore Sailboat... "Extraordinary" you may say. One family chose the J/120 instead of an airplane because with this sailboat everyone could be involved in its operation. Another had just owned dinghies. Two friends in their late 20's combined to form a cruising syndicate for their new families. Maybe these first-time keelboat owners were dedicated readers of Cruising World Magazine when J/120 was made the Overall Boat of the Year and Best Value in a large cruising boat. Or is Southern California that much ahead of the world in appreciating the high-tech contribution of SCRIMP construction to performance? Does the retractable carbon fiber bowsprit and asymmetrical spinnaker offer the distinctive innovation to set them apart from staid traditionalists? Maybe sailing 14 knots with only 2 people aboard makes the blood run faster. Or is it the fact there's no teak on deck to maintain leaving more quality sailing time for friends and family?On the other hand there's life in the marinas and raft-ups at Catalina Island to consider. So the joiner work below and comfortable cruising appointments could have been decisive.Raft-up parties also mean good-natured camaraderie and friendly competition. When all the boats are alike or "one-design" and are easy to sail fingers aren't pointed at friends having an unfair advantage. After all any race to be fun is just part of the broader festivities that bring friends together.The J/120 gives up very little speed to stripped-out race boats but comes out way ahead in terms of its recreational return on investment. Key to this success is versatility and ease of handling by fewer people. There's greater chance of regional one-design when more people get enthused about owning one.Passage-making downwind under spinnaker - with only 2 people on a 40 footer - is now so easy you'll have fun doing it every time you go sailing. Exceptional performance and construction earned J/120 the distinction of being CRUISING WORLD magazine's OVERALL BOAT OF THE YEAR and the BEST VALUE in a full-sized cruising boat.Downwind it's a whole new world with an asymmetric spinnaker she'll do 7.2 knots at 150 degrees true wind angle in 10 knots of wind with a VMG of 6.3. Other cruisers might keep up if they used an engine. Flying one of an asymmetrical is a one person job. Snuffer controls lead back to the cockpit. No one goes on deck when deploying jibing or dousing the spinnaker. To jibe simply let off one sheet and pull in the other. It's safer. One comer of the spinnaker (the "tack") is always secure to t e bowsprit eliminating wild oscillations. The center-of-effort is located further forward and lower. Meaning balanced "finger-tip" control rather than "white knuckled" round-up broaches. The asymmetric's greater power drives the apparent wind 30-50 degrees forward of the true wind angle. In light air and lumpy seas the sail's greater area acts as a stabilizer. Deep sailing angles (165 degrees True Wind Angle) can be achieved by easing the sheet to project the luff to windward - as if it were pulled aft by a spinnaker pole.
Construction
Whats Unique About SCRIMP Construction? Tests conducted by the US Naval Surface Warfare Center at Carderock MD established that the properties of laminates produced by the SCRIMP resin-infusion process are superior to low-energy pre-pregs used by many custom boat shops and twice the strength of hand lay-up. In our judgment SCRIMP construction greatly reduces the chances of warranty claims due to laminate failures resulting over time from pounding into waves and/or rig tension or ballast loads. SCRIMP Process The entire laminate is placed in the mold dry. A high vacuum eliminates any air voids then resin feed tubes draw in only enough resin to "wet" the laminate. This is the patented SCRIMP resin-infusion process. As can be seen from the chart above SCRIMP laminate properties in terms of compression strength flexure and tension are twice the strength of hand lay-up and significantly stronger than low energy (vacuum bagged) post-cure pre-pregs. There is no entrained air in a SCRIMP laminate. It only takes 1% void content to reduce flexural strength by 10%! See the comparison of composite properties of low cost fabrication methods in the chart above.Bonded Hull/Deck Joint Extremely strong and watertight hull-to-deck joints are created by chemically bonding the hull/deck flange overlap with 3M 5200 and Plexus adhesive. This innovation used on each new J/Boat since the introduction of the J/105 yields a bond that is proven superior in strength to a conventional bolted joint with 3M 5200 with less opportunity for leaks and less weight on deck. It is an ABS tested and approved constructionprocess. Essential hardware elements along the deck edge are bolted through this joint and sealed with Sikaflex bedding compound. Each flange (hull & deck) is supported with extra glass laminates and designed to withstand high local area stresses from stanchions rails & blocks.
