2003 J Boats 48′
Katara
The J145 is the answer for sailors seeking great performance without sacrificing the creature comforts that makes her a wonderful family cruising yacht. She is the answer for those who seek grace and elegance in their cruising comforts…but not at the cost of performance. The J145 brings the romance back to sailing. The design is unique among boats over 45 feet. She offers great balance, ease of sailing when shorthanded, comfortable to cruise or live aboard while cruising, and a great yacht to entertain on. As a SAIL Magazine Top Ten award winner, and with victories & honors in some of the world’s most famous offshore races she has defined a unique class of dual purpose performance yacht.
The J145 makes Sailing surprisingly easy. Two people can go for an afternoon sail in just minutes. Throw off the boom cover. Hoist the main on a 2:1 halyard. Cast off and sail under main alone or unroll the jib from its furler. That’s it. Easy, upwind and downwind. It’s unlike anything you’ve sailed. A boat this fast with such a low center of gravity or a boat this large that’s so responsive and easy to handle. It’s like sailing a 40 footer that turns on a dime but with the stability of a 50 footer. One of the joys of owning a great boat is the ability to share it with family and friends. A J145 is just as happy on the two-week family cruise, as it is sprinting around the buoys or daysailing in the bay.
