J Boats J160 1998

Introducing the 1998 J/160 'Ladyhawk', a remarkable performance cruiser known for its exceptional design and luxury. Launched in 1996, this 52 ft 8 in (16.08 m) carbon-fiber beauty, crafted by Rod Johnstone, is ideal for fast, shorthanded offshore sailing. With a sleek deck saloon, a 14 ft 2 in beam, a 7 ft 2 in fin keel, and a displacement of 32,000 lbs, 'Ladyhawk' is powered by an impressive 72 ft carbon mast that holds a fractional rig, allowing for 1,350 sq ft of upwind sail area. This vessel effortlessly reaches speeds of 10–12 knots and can cover 250–300 nautical miles in a day under white sails alone. Inside, the bright and open layout boasts stunning cherry or teak finishes, featuring a spacious owner’s stateroom with a pullman berth, writing desk, and large private head, alongside two roomy guest cabins and a panoramic saloon. Notable features include a carbon sprit for asymmetrical spinnakers, push-button electric primary winches, a well-equipped navigation station, and an ergonomic cockpit designed for effortless sailing, whether single- or double-handed. With only 33 units built between 1996 and 2002, the J/160 is a rare modern classic. 'Ladyhawk' is a prime example of this model, offering a practical three-cabin layout with a generous main salon, navigation station, and an offshore-capable galley. Recent upgrades include a North Sail inventory (2019), new standing rigging (2015), lithium house batteries (2022), and a 25 gph Village Marine/Parker watermaker. The vessel is equipped with advanced electronics, and the interior features extensive teak joinery, ultra-leather cushions, and ample storage throughout. The U-shaped galley is designed for secure and efficient meal preparation during extended cruising, while the owner’s stateroom provides comfort and privacy. With its blend of performance, luxury, and cutting-edge technology, 'Ladyhawk' is ready for your next adventure on the water.
