"NOLA" is a brilliant example of the J/112e design, which has achieved an awful lot across many aspects of the yacht racing scene.
This example, launched in 2019 has been race prepared by her fastidious owner, who ensures the boat has all that she requires to compete at a high level.
"Nola" originally achieved great success under IRC, before her current owner changed the focus to ORCi, where we know these boats are ultra-competitive.
Extensive upgrades in the last 2 years, including the addition of a fixed bowsprit with asymmetric sails in her inventory has pushed the performance forward, as well as developing the boat for better use short-handed.
A great example of the J112E, which owners will attest is a brilliant "all-rounder".

A truly dual purpose boat the J/112E can accommodate 6 in 2 private double cabins and 2 single saloon berths. With fully private aft heads and a small but well-equipped kitchen with 2 burner hob and oven, you are able to enjoy extended time aboard for family cruising or passage making.
She has a B&G autopilot installed and the addition of a new, fixed bowsprit for use with A-Sails, which has prepared her very well for short-handed cruising or racing.
She comes with an extensive wardrobe of North Sails and One Sails that are developed for ORCi and IRC racing and also includes a range of high spec and custom options.
This is a brilliant opportunity to get on the water in a proven race winner.
