2000 J Boats J/120

HiJinx features a spacious and practical interior with excellent natural light and ventilation.

The main saloon offers opposing upholstered settees with storage behind and above, complemented by a centerline dining table with folding leaves. With the leaves folded, the arrangement leaves an unusually open passage through the saloon; when opened, the table provides a substantial dining area for crew and guests.

Forward is a large berth surrounded by attractive wood hull lining, shelving and storage. Additional sleeping accommodations are located aft, with the saloon settees providing further berth capacity when required.

An enclosed head is located forward of the main saloon.

Interior highlights include:

• Varnished wood interior joinery
• Teak-and-holly cabin sole
• Blue-gray upholstered settees and berth cushions
• Folding centerline dining table
• Numerous opening ports and overhead hatches
• Reading lights

The galley is arranged for practical use underway or at anchor and provides considerably more working space than is typical aboard a performance-oriented sailboat.

Features include a large double stainless-steel sink with pressure water, stove and oven, microwave, extensive countertop space, drawers, lockers and additional galley storage.

Additional investments include the Balmar charging system, mast repairs and rewiring, interior refinishing, LED lighting, sanitation-system rebuild, rebedded hatches and windows, bowsprit seals, winch servicing and numerous other projects.

The result is a J/120 that has had substantial attention paid to its rig, electronics, electrical system, propulsion, interior, deck hardware and water-tightness, rather than simply receiving cosmetic updates.
