Built at the intersection of high-end daysailer, capable weekender, and responsive racer/cruiser, the J/124 delivers the kind of sailing experience that has made J/Boats one of the most respected performance sailing brands in the world.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">With her long waterline, narrow beam, deep bulb keel, carbon rig components, balanced helm, and efficient sail plan, the J/124 is designed to move easily through the water and reward good sailors without demanding a large crew. She is quick, graceful, and easily driven, with a cockpit layout that makes her especially appealing for short-handed sailing in Pacific Northwest waters.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Below, Black Griffon offers a practical and attractive interior with proper overnight capability without the unnecessary weight and complexity often found in heavier cruising boats. The layout includes a functional galley, chart table, enclosed head, salon seating, and sleeping accommodations suitable for weekends aboard, regattas, distance events, or relaxed cruising between Puget Sound, the San Juans, and the Gulf Islands.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">For the sailor looking for something more distinctive than a typical production cruiser, and more comfortable and elegant than a stripped-out race boat, Black Griffon represents a compelling opportunity. The J/124 is a limited-production model with genuine pedigree, beautiful proportions, and a design brief centered around pure sailing enjoyment.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Highlights:</span></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Carbon Mast</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Rod Rigging</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Large 54” carbon wheel</span></li></ul><p><br></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Accommodations</span></h3><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Black Griffon’s interior is simple, warm, and purposeful, offering the essentials for comfortable weekend cruising while keeping the boat light, clean, and easy to maintain. The J/124 was not designed as a dockside condo; it was designed as a true sailing yacht with enough interior comfort to support overnight cruising, regatta weekends, and longer coastal passages.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The salon is open and functional, with settee berths, a centerline table arrangement, and a practical navigation area. The galley is compact and efficient, providing the necessities for meal preparation while underway or at anchor.

The cockpit is one of the defining features of the model, offering excellent ergonomics, high backrests, and long seating areas that are comfortable underway or at anchor.</span></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Deep bulb keel&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Cast lead ballast strengthened with 5% antimony</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Large carbon steering wheel</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Lewmar V2/V3 Electric Windlass with remote</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Breezy dodger in great condition</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Port side transom hot water shower</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Bow anchor roller</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Stainless Bruce Anchor and galvanized chain and rhode</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Baltoplate Bottom Paint August 2025 (Hard vinyl antifouling paint)</span></li></ul><h3><br></h3><h3><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Mechanical and Propulsion</span></h3><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The J/124 was designed to sail beautifully and efficiently, with auxiliary power used primarily for docking, maneuvering, and passagemaking when needed.</span></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Yanmar Diesel 3JH4E, 40 HP, 3 Cylinder</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Yanmar Sail Drive SD 50, Trilux 33 applied August 2025, oil and seals changed August 2025</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Engine hours: TBD</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Flex-O-Fold geared folding prop 18” diameter, 14” pitch PropSpeed coating applied August 2025</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Carbon spade rudder&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Rudder bearing serviced with Trilux Antifouling August 2025&nbsp;</span></li></ul><p><br></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Electrical</span></h3><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">SmartPlug shore power</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Two 100 Amp hour Lifeline deep cycle house batteries</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Xantrex Link 20 battery monitor</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Inverter:&nbsp;</span></li></ul><p><br></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Heating and Plumbing</span></h3><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Diesel forced air heater Webasto AT 5500</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Quick Nautic Boiler electric hot water heater 110 V</span></li></ul><p><br></p><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Disclaimer</span></h2><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information, nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
