J/boats are known for their fantastic sailing characteristics, the J/105 is no exception, the combination with hefty square yards of sail and the light weight and deep keel with 1542Kg of ballast is controllable with a finger, even with double digits on the log.
All lines run to the cockpit, in combination with the below deck autopilot she is very easy to sail duo or singlehanded. The interior is simple with 2 longitudinal benches a simple galley with water and 2-burner Origo spirit stove. In the bow is a toilet with sink and a spacious 2-person V-bed. The stern is used as sail storage.
The dream machine features only the best of the best. The North Sails 3Di mainsail and jib are as good as new, as is the latest class gennaker. These sails have not been raced yet.

The Dream machine is a proven winner both nationally and internationally. Her current and second owner uses the quote "we are going to sail nicely, if that goes well we have won, if not we have at least sailed nicely". And that is what she does, sail well. Because of this, she is listed on several Royal Ocean Racing Club silver scales and cups, such as the Jan Moreton Salver scale and the Golden Dragon Cup.
