Introducing BRIGADOON, a truly stunning and one-of-a-kind J/105. Meticulously renovated by a seasoned and knowledgeable owner, this vessel embodies the epitome of a racer, daysailor, and overnighter. Every aspect of BRIGADOON has been thoughtfully upgraded, from the bottom, foils, hull, deck, mast, and rigging, to the sails, electronics, and interior — all completed to the highest standards. The result is a remarkable boat in exceptional condition, standing out among her peers. To truly grasp its magnificence, one must see it firsthand.

 She has been optimized for both PHRF and ORR racing with a faired bottom, templated keel and rudder, permanent carbon sprit and higher spinnaker halyard location. She is now a great performer in all conditions and would be a tremendous double handed racer.

Specifications

J 105 # 236 spent her first twenty years on a lake in Tennessee, sailed from a lift for
daysailing and short cruising. As a result, she was in much better condition, with
minimal grazing when compared with other J 105’s from the same era. After purchase
by her new owner in 2021, and renamed BRIGADOON, she has undergone an
extensive two year restoration, optimizing her for ORR and PHRF racing, while
maintaining an emphasis on easy sailing and yacht quality cosmetics. She was sailed

completed, including:
