Roleur 297 #1 Posted March 12, 2020 Yes, I bought an ad - https://sailinganarchy.com/advert/1998-j-120-shearwater-2/ Or you can go directly to the broker listing - https://sailnorthwest.com/boat/j-120-2/ After much deliberation we've decided to downsize and focus more on racing (J/111), so Shearwater is up for grabs. We purchased Shearwater in 2011 and have upgraded a long, long list of items. There are 5 racing sails that are less than 2 years old. New diesel heat, new fridge, new dodger canvas, and new topside paint are some of the recent changes. We've chronicled most of our adventures since buying Shearwater here - http://www.svshearwater.com/ Including videos of our Atlantic crossing, race to Hawaii, and Van Isle 360. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goatish 8 #5 Posted March 12, 2020 Damn, wish I hadn't just dropped $50k in upgrades/maintenance on my current boat, would have loved to switch out to this one... Good luck on the sale, I'm sure it will move quickly, and good luck with the new boat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck on the sale, I'm sure it will move quickly, and good luck with the new boat! Don't let that stop you! We put way more than $50k in upgrades into Shearwater recently, before putting her on the market... It's a boat. That's how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was about a 4500 mile road trip to drive out to Cali, pick her up and bring her back to Indiana. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoelGreatLakes 12 #9 Posted March 16, 2020 @marcus brutus I am based out of Michigan City IN. But she will be on the trailer a lot traveling to events outside of our area. The goal is to get an experience of sailing beyond what is offered in Southern Lake Michigan. @Roleur Shearwater looks beautiful! Whoever ends up picking her up will have a great boat on their hands!

Roleur 297 #12 Posted August 29, 2020 Sold! Staying in the Salish Sea. They new owners think they will be cruising mostly, but they come from racing, and they will soon find out what a fun boat Shearwater is to race. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The extension is the key. Makes it look better and more than doubles the sun/rain protection while sitting in the cockpit. We did all kinds of races and had a number of nice wins, always with the dodger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobJ 78 #20 Posted September 7, 2020 I know Roleur and he's too classy to answer that question. It's up to the buyer to disclose the price, if they care to. If you know a broker with access to YW's sold listings, they might look it up for you. Or not, if you're just another hull-kicker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T sailor 49 #30 Posted September 8, 2020 second recommending Neil. he did mine on my 120 this spring and did a very nice job at a very good price. I didn't have time to do the custom extension, but will likely have something like that added to mine. good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
