Description
Just placed into indoor storage very easy winter viewing!
ALCHEMY is a highly customized 2018 J/121, optimized for shorthanded & offshore racing. She was modified with a custom carbon rig, Jim Taylor keel, and a structural doghouse to protect her crew from harsh elements. She won the 2024 OSTAR race, the Bermuda 1-2, and the double handed class for Ida Lewis Distance race - with many other notable podium finishes. SAIL magazine determined the new J/121 offshore speedster was SAIL’s choice for Best Boats in 2018 - Performance 30 to 40 feet.
She is equipped with an extensive inventory of racing and delivery sails from North (3di), B&H H5000 electronics, Starlink, and every offshore gadget you can think of. She will spend the winter indoors at Maine Yacht Center in Portland, Maine. This is a highly unique boat, customized by experienced offshore sailors, with the pursuit of perfection in mind.
