Description
J/88 Pelagia — West Coast Race Winner, Bay-Ready Performer
Pelagia is hull #37, commissioned new in 2014 and stored indoors for most of her early life. Since arriving in San Francisco Bay, she’s been prepared and maintained at a professional standard—race-ready, class-legal, and beautifully sorted. Her results speak for themselves: 1st in Rolex Big Boat Series 2023, 2nd in 2022, and 3rd in 2021.
Professionally serviced at KKMI and List Marine, Pelagia shows the care of a fastidious owner. Her bottom was done in May 2024, the rig inspected this season, and every system upgraded with class-legal, high-load components. With just 412 engine hours, she’s a turnkey boat for the next owner—whether that means racing one-design, joining the mixed-fleet scene, or simply enjoying effortless days on the Bay.
Pelagia represents a rare chance to own a lightly used, immaculately maintained J/88 with real race pedigree. She’s ready for her next season—whether that’s on the one-design circuit or cruising the Bay with friends at sunset.
