Description
ACCEPTANCE is a 2024 J/45 offered for sale, and the first and only shoal draft J/45 in existence. With an all-lead shoal draft keel, and a slightly shorter carbon mast, she is capable of cruising the ICW, but equally capable of venturing offshore.
ACCEPTANCE is also equipped with a carbon furlerboom, retractable bow thruster, B&G H5000 electronics package, North 3di Sail inventory, 4 electrified winches, and honestly too many special features to include in this short description. I encourage you to review the listing carefully and schedule a visit, where you can see all the reasons why the J/45 was recognized in 2023 for ‘Best Crossover’ by Sailing World, ‘Best Performance Cruiser’ by Cruising World, and ‘Top 10 Best Boats’ by SAIL Magazine.
Stepping down the companionway, the aft cabin is immediately to port, with a proper double berth, changing seat, hanging locker, hull-side storage, and opening ports for natural light. Opposite, the spacious aft head includes a separate enclosed shower, solid vanity and counter space, plus direct access to the large cockpit storage locker for convenient gear and systems access.
Moving forward, the U-shaped galley to port offers generous counter space, a deep sink, ample storage, a large Fridge/Freezer, and separate drawer fridge for drinks. Across to starboard, the forward-facing navigation station provides comfortable seating and easy access to instruments, chartwork, and vessel controls.
The saloon makes excellent use of the beam, with a folding oak table and U-shaped dinette to port and a long starboard settee suitable as a sea berth. Outboard lockers, hull windows, coachroof ports, and overhead hatches provide abundant storage and natural light. Well-placed handholds make movement secure underway.
Forward, the owner’s cabin features a large centerline double berth, under-berth storage, hanging locker, cabinets, and shelving. The en-suite head has excellent headroom, generous counter and storage space, and a large enclosed shower.
The interior combines light pickled oak, refined joinery, polished stainless accents, and thoughtful lighting for a clean, modern, and inviting finish.
Additional highlights:
- Interior design by Isabelle Racoupeau
- White oak finishes
- Headroom reaches approximately 6'7"
- Excellent natural light throughout from hull ports, coachroof windows, and hatches
- Exceptional storage, including the large accessible aft/cockpit locker
