Designed by Jacques Valer and built by JPK Composites starting in 2013, the JPK 1080 is a performance-oriented 35-foot cruiser-racer with a fractional sloop rig. While the exact build count is not specified in the authoritative data, the model is characterized by a displacement of 10472.0 lb and a beam of 11.97 ft, offering a blend of speed and comfort with a comfort ratio of 18.41.
- Best for:
- This boat suits active coastal cruisers and short-handed racers who prioritize performance and modern ergonomics, as evidenced by the high prevalence of Raymarine electronics and North sails in owner reports. It is well-suited for those willing to invest in maintenance, given the common upgrades like bow thrusters and dodgers.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.19 and a displacement of 10472.0 lb, the JPK 1080 is designed primarily for coastal and inshore cruising rather than heavy offshore passage-making. Its relatively light displacement and performance-oriented hull form suggest it is best suited for protected waters and short offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 36.7 and the X-Yachts X36, which share similar fractional rig configurations and performance-focused hull forms from the same era. These models also target the same market of sailors seeking a balance between racing capability and cruising comfort.
