Description
Step aboard this beautifully maintained 1986 J/40, a true sailor’s sailboat that blends performance with offshore cruising comfort. Designed by Rod Johnstone and built by Tillotson-Pearson, the J/40 is widely regarded as one of the best offshore-capable performance cruisers of its era—fast, elegant, and rugged.
Zephyr combines the elegance of classic design with the speed and responsiveness that made the J/40 a go-to for serious cruisers and racers alike. Light on the helm, steady under sail, and comfortable in a seaway—she’s equally at home doing sunset sails or ocean crossings.
This is your chance to own a true classic—built to sail the world, yet perfect for coastal cruising or weekend getaways.

Accomodations
This is a well laid out comfortable boat. As you enter the companion way you find the galley to port behind which is the aft head with wet storage area. To starboard is the nav station with easy access to the cockpit. Aft of the nav station is the aft stateroom with oversized double bunk. There is a large hanging locker and drawer storage in this aft cabin. As you move forward in the boat, you enter the main salon which offers a great deal of visual space, and the ability to move about easily as the dining table stows to the bulk head. There is ample storage space throughout the salon: louvered door cabinets, bookshelves, and behind the settees. The forward stateroom has a V-berth again with excellent hanging and drawer storage. The head forward offers convenience and privacy to the occupants of the forward stateroom.
