J Boats J/99
La Belle Dame is a 2023 J/Boats J/99, exceptionally well equipped for competitive inshore and offshore sailing. The J/99 is a versatile, high performance design equally suited to shorthanded sailing and fully crewed racing, combining speed, handling and practical accommodation in a capable all round package.
Designed to perform across a wide range of rating systems, course configurations and racing conditions, the J/99 combines a low wetted surface area with an efficient hull and powerful sail plan. A low centre of gravity bulb keel, featuring a lead bulb on a cast iron fin, delivers a strong righting moment, while the single high aspect spade rudder provides responsive control with reduced drag. Tiller steering completes the direct, performance focused setup, with all controls easily accessible from the helm station for shorthanded racing.
Lightly campaigned and extensively equipped, La Belle Dame offers a rare opportunity to acquire a highly specified example without the time and expense of building a comparable package from scratch.
Her specification is a standout feature, including extensive sail inventories from North Sails and Ian Short, B&G H5000 instrumentation, a primary B&G autopilot and an independent Raymarine backup system. Power management is equally impressive, with a substantial lithium house battery bank, three solar panels and a Watt & Sea Cruising 600 hydrogenerator.
Additional equipment includes a carbon bowsprit and spinnaker pole, upgraded Harken deck hardware and a comprehensive navigation and communications suite. The masthead wind sensor is new, and the antifouling was renewed in May 2026.
Below decks, the J/99 offers a bright, practical interior with two aft double cabins and additional saloon berths. While designed with racing performance firmly in mind, she also offers comfortable accommodation for coastal cruising, from day sailing to more ambitious offshore adventures.
Now Queensland registered and offered with a current gas certificate, La Belle Dame presents an opportunity for a sailor seeking a competitive, exceptionally well equipped yacht for racing and cruising.
