1986 J Boats J/35

This is a J35 like no other!

Backdraft is a 2-owner boat that’s been meticulously maintained since first
splashed in 1986. According to the sales records, Backdraft is one of two J35 hulls built with a L-shaped cruising galley. It’s beautiful, and functional. 

Backdraft is ideal for family fun runs at the islands, or racing fun with friends and family. It's quick, fun, and simple with a continuous line headsail furler, main sail lazy jacks, and tides marine track for easy put away.

While she is a perfect weekender, Backdraft also has a solid sail inventory, removable bowsprit and asymmetrical spinnaker, making your trip home from the islands fast and fun!
