2008 J Boats J/124
J/124
Launched in 2008 ‘Eclipse’ is a beautiful example of this rarely seen J Boats model. She has had 2 owners from new, and has been meticulously maintained. This is clear in her exemplary condition both inside and out. A high quality specification with a carbon fibre mast, carbon fibre wheel, upgraded 40hp engine and both asymmetric and symmetric spinnaker set ups.

Owner's comments
"It has been a joy to own Eclipse and explore the Solent. She’s such a responsive boat and very easy to handle. My wife and I often sail her double-handed but we have also taken friends and family with us as the deck has plenty of seating. We have been very comfortable sleeping on board, since both berths have pocket sprung mattresses and the on-board heating works extremely well – even when we have stayed on-board in December and January. With hot and cold running water and a huge refrigerated cool box, we have been able to enjoy cruising and keep cold drinks flowing! She’s such a stylish boat and wherever we go fellow sailors are always keen to ask about her."
