Nirvana

Gold Fleet
J/105

Nirvana is a J/105 in our Berkeley Gold Fleet.

The roller-furling jib, slab reefing mainsail, and inboard engine add simplicity to sailing the J/105. Like the J/24, the J/105 offers the usual sail-shaping controls like the cunningham, outhaul, and adjustable backstay. The mainsheet is attached to a wide traveller conveniently located just forward of the oversized wheel. As such, the helmsperson can either trim the mainsail while steering or just enjoy steering while a dedicated mainsheet trimmer keeps the boat powered up. Her cockpit is large and roomy enough to accomodate 6 sailors.

Down below, you’ll find a proper marine head, VHF radio/electronics, and long settees and v-berth with cushions.

The J/105 by J/Boats is one of the most exciting types of boats we’ve sailed! This popular one-design model combines speed and performance with comfort and simplicity. With an overall length of 34.5 feet and a deep fin keel (draft of 6.5 feet), the J/105 is fast and responsive. Get on a beam reach, trim your sails, and blast off!

Testimonials

  • Casey Bishop, Corporate Regatta

    WE LOVED IT! The whole team was so honored and thankful. Thanks so much for all of your team's hard work and excellence in organizing our party. Of the 22 of us, only 4 had ever been sailing and not in the Bay. The guys had an incredible experience, the skippers were all really great, allowing each of us to be at the wheel. They were kind and empowering. Plus the weather and wind were perfect! It was definitely one of the top 3 experiences that we have shared as leaders in the past 5 + years. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

    Since many, many years, I had the dream to sail underneath the Golden Gate bridge. On October 14th last year, my dream became true. Thanks to our dear friend Aaron Fritz who made it possible and organized this cruise for us. With this adventure I was able to achieve one more milestone on my sailing career.

    Finally on the water, it was great! Full moon made the flows even stronger and it was like sailing in a washing machine.

    I did my sailing education in the English Channel, where the situation with the wind and flows is comparable to the San Francisco Bay. So I felt pretty much "at home" being on the helm in the Bay.

    I hope our skipper Stan Lander enjoyed this day cruise too. We, definitely did! It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.

    A very big thank you to all of you who made it possible, that my dream became reality! Also thank you for the MSC flag I got at the end of the day. It found it's place in my study, where I can see it daily.
