J Boats J-121 Dark Storm

You want to Win Races and Cruise in Style! This boat can do it all-

Dark Storm is one of the most competitive and customized J/121s on the water today. Purpose-built for performance and optimized for offshore and inshore racing, she has an impressive track record of race victories on Ocean distance races and the Chesapeake Bay.

This yacht has been upgraded with professional modifications that make her stand out from the fleet:

• Taller Mast with Mast Jack – enhanced sail power and rig tuning flexibility

• Carbon Boom – lightweight strength for maximum performance

• Split Backstay with Load Cells – precision tuning under load

• Additional Winches for Backstay Runners – optimized control in demanding conditions

• Painted Pushpits and Bow Pulpit – clean, customized finish

• B&G 5000 Hercules Full System – complete race instrumentation

• Backup Chartplotter at Navigation Station – redundancy for offshore passages

• Race bottom - fully faired by Beasley Marine

With her proven performance history and professional race setup, Dark Storm is an ideal choice for a serious campaigner who wants a competitive edge without the time and cost of customization.

She’s built and rigged for extended races—optimized for long-distance legs like the challenging 300‑mile offshore of the Annapolis‑Newport Race, and refined for precision in variable conditions
