About

Spice is J/44 hull number 33, built in 1990. I am her fifth owner, and benefit from the first owner's foresight in having TPI build her keel stub more robustly than the original scantlings, and the second owner's upgrade (along with the rest of the J/44 one design fleet) to the new, deeper rudder design. The third owner treated her to a significant refit in 2012, and I am doing my best to upgrade and improve any of her systems that I feel require it.

She's a powerful, comfortable, delightful boat – one which rewards good handling without punishing us for our mistakes (at least not too much).
