Description

High Jinks is a brilliant opportunity to purchase a well maintained, lightly used J97.
Built in 2010 (Hull #21) this boat had an epoxy-faired hull before she touched the water and has been maintained to high standard since. First launched as “Fever” she has had a successful racing period and since summer 2020 has been lightly used for cruising. We have raced 2 days in the last 6 years.
