Sources

Dimensions/displacement/sail area (100% SA) per jboats.com J/111 tech specs. Hull is balsa-core/biaxial E-glass, vacuum (SCRIMP) infused with vinylester outer layers per J/Boats and Wikipedia. Mast is auto-claved carbon fiber, standard. Some secondary sources quote a larger 'working sail' figure (~751 sqft) that appears to include a bigger genoa than the 100% foretriangle convention used here; used jboats.com's 663 sqft 100% figure for consistency with sailboatdata convention. Verified 2026-07-09. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Rudder: balanced spade, E-glass blade on a custom carbon-fiber rudder shaft, JP-3 self-aligning bearings, per jboats.com's own J/111 tech specs. Fuel 13gal (with baffles/inspection port), water 26gal. No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
