New to the market! This won't last long!
Introduced in 1995 with 77 hulls built to date, the J/42 has become legendary for its ease of operation and great stability which make it an exceptional seaworthy and fast boat. The J/42 is a well-regarded and proven model from J/Boats’ ocean cruising series and is popular with cruisers for its excellent performance and ease of handling. This Rod Johnstone design is at home at sea or on the race course. The hull is kept light and powerful for speed with narrow ends to ensure a pleasurable ride regardless of the weather. With a classic profile and two-cabin, two-head layout, this model’s characteristics of strength, stability, ease of handling, and comfort when sailing make it a yacht for all sailors. Finezza Veloce is one of the best J42 available today. From top to bottom, Finezza Veloce is prepared for your next adventure. Pristinely maintained and custom upgraded over the years, she is equally set up for local cruising, blue water cruising, or racing. The current owners have used her for all. The boat comes with an "optional" offshore interior.
Before getting to the ownership and care let's discuss the most recent upgrades. The previous owner, in 2018, had the Lyman-Morse Electronics department completely remove the old Raymarine system and upgrade her with the B&G Zeus system fully integrated into a NEMA2000 backbone. The on-deck instruments package is thorough and carefully laid out with the experience of this racing yacht family. The navigation station has everything needed to cruise the coast or get line honors in Bermuda.
Her sail package is extensive. Too many to list here, (See sails and rigging under the descriptions section) but there is a setup for every occasion. For simplified cruising or blue water racing, you will not need to do any shopping. They are all here. Doyle sails throughout and for every condition you will encounter. Finezza Veloce has many races under her belt, numerous Bermuda races, including 3rd in class twice.
Possibly the best quality of this vessel is she has always been owned by the same family. A multi-generational sailing and racing family, they know how to care for boats. Finezza Veloce has been in the annual care and maintenance of Lyman-Morse since day one. This relationship will allow the next owner to sail in safety and confidence knowing preventative care and top performance were the standard and upgrade were constant.
