J/99 Learning to Fly - Sporty Offshore Racer-Cruiser

Learning to Fly is a J/99 with a story--and a specification--to match. This near-new yacht has been lightly used, meticulously outfitted, and is now offered as a rare opportunity for discerning sailors looking for a serious performance cruiser-racer.

Commissioned in France and shipped to Bermuda, she was lightly campaigned, including a podium finish (3rd place) at Antigua Sailing Week. With ambitions to race the renowned Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race, the owner shipped her to Australia and prepared the boat to full Category 1 offshore standards.

Specification Highlights:

- Advanced Lithium Battery System

- Primary Jefa Direct Drive Autopilot

- Standalone Raymarine Linear Drive Autopilot with Axiom Plotter

- Extensive B&G H5000 Instrumentation

- Watt & Sea Cruising 600 Hydrogenerator

- Three-Panel Solar Array

- Extensive Sail Inventory - North Sails & Ian Short Sails

- Cat 1 Safety Equipment (excluding medical kit and PFDs)

The J/99 (32'6") is a multi-award-winning design, equally capable offshore and inshore. She's known for enhanced form stability, minimal wetted surface, and an ergonomic sail and deck layout optimised for double-handed or fully crewed racing, as well as fun family cruising.

Below decks, she offers a light, refined, modern interior--bright, practical, and easy to maintain.

This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensively specified J/99 we've seen.
