Allegiant is a fast turn of speed and ease of sail handling. The J/42 is arguably one of the best performance cruiser ever built. Her previous owner completed two Caribbean 1500's finishing first both times! Her current owner has invested substantially for racing performance. Her current owner has sailed Allegiant to 1st in the 2019 Annapolis to Newport PHRF B, 2nd in the 2022 Annapolis to Bermuda, and 3rd and 1st in the 2019/2022 HYC Down the Bay races (Commodore Cruising Cup Winner).

Allegiant has been surveyed 3 times for insurance and race requirements including a 2022 rig (Harney Yacht Rigging) and hull survey. She is in excellent condition. See full equipment list for details. (expand section below)

Hull and Deck Construction: While classic in profile and layout, J/42 steps into the future when considering structural strength performance, ease-of-handling, stability and sailing comfort. This progress is now available to the cruising sailor in a boat that handles like a 35 footer with the solid feel and motion of a 50 footer. When a gust of wind hits the J/42 it's as though someone pushed forward the throttles on a Concorde jet. Slicing though waves, there's little fuss. A slight lift of the bow over a wave is rapidly dampened. There is none of the three-dimensional pitch and roll often accepted as a rigor of cruising.

The patented SCRIMP process pulls triple the normal vacuum-bagging levels to draw all the air out of cored hull & deck laminates and to draw a slow-curing resin into every void in a single step. It's a better and healthier way to build boats because toxic styrene emissions are eliminated. It offers higher strength (65% vs. typical 40% glass content) and a void-free laminate far superior to hand lay-up or chopper gun construction. The savings in weight is added to the bottom of the keel in the form of a lead bulb, shaped as an inverted wedge with a tapered tail aft. This is why J/42's center of gravity (CG) is so much lower than other cruisers.

Accommodations: The Ideal Cruising Interior The J/42 interior is designed to fulfill two goals: Privacy for each of two couples when cruising or ample space and convenience for one couple living aboard for an extended period of time.
