J133 – Bella J
The J/133 is a performance cruiser designed by J/Boats, known for its blend of speed and comfort. Built with a focus on both racing and cruising, the J/133 features a lightweight construction, a powerful sail plan, and a comfortable interior.
The ideal mid-40s length racer/cruiser…and a previous winner of The Sailing World Magazine Overall Boat of the Year, J/133 is a yacht with the stability for short-handed cruising, race winning speed under IRC & PHRF, durability for rough offshore passages. J/133 is designed for blazing speed with fingertip control, whether carving through waves upwind in 12 knots or surfing with double-reefed main in a squall. Long waterline length combined with narrow waterline beam results in a hull that tracks well through the waves with only minimal input from the wheel.
A popular choice amongst our clients for regattas and offshore events.

We were very impressed overall with Bella J, which was well equipped and well prepared for the regatta. There were excellent race sails and instruments, although not all of the sail wardrobe was available to us. There was clearly a lot of thought and experience in how the boat was set up for racing and this made for some great efficiencies during racing. Sarah and Grace know the boat extremely well and were well placed to advise on sail choice, safety, manoeuvres and race transitions. They listened to and respected our requests for their roles with running of the boat during racing. They offered conservative advice on sail choice and race strategies. Sarah and Grace are very good race crew and stepped into race roles as we requested and fitted in well with the rest of the crew. Grace stepped up to main sheet trimmer when our usual trimmer had an injury and she performed very well in all conditions. Grace had also recently completed her Sailing First Aid course which was very useful for cuts and bruises incurred by some of our crew! Sarah and Grace were patient and calm at all times with our race crew of mixed abilities, and they integrated very well with our crew both on and off the water. Overall we were all very pleased with this charter and would consider chartering Bella J again if the opportunity arose.
