The J/121 combines offshore strength, powerful reaching performance, water ballast, and a manageable sail plan into a fast and versatile platform. The design is especially well suited for short-handed distance racing, yet remains equally capable around the buoys or in performance cruising mode. Raven has been developed far beyond factory specification. Her systems, rigging, sail inventory, safety equipment, and electronics have been thoughtfully upgraded to support serious offshore campaigns. The boat is organized for efficiency, safety, and speed, with numerous custom refinements aimed at reducing crew workload and improving performance in both crewed and short-handed configurations.

The J/121 hull and deck are vacuum-infused using the SCRIMP process in a temperature-controlled environment, with biaxial and unidirectional E-glass fabrics. The hull uses end-grain balsa core for durability, while the deck uses Corecell foam core for weight savings. High-density core inserts and additional reinforcements are placed in high-load areas. The structure is engineered to exceed ISO 12215 Category A and ABS standards. Key construction features include: • Two watertight bulkheads • Molded structural keel grid • Composite mast bearing beam • Carbon fiber compression post • Molded main bulkhead bonded and tabbed to hull and deck • High-aspect, low-VCG L-keel with lead ballast • Balanced composite spade rudder with stainless rudder post • Jefa self-aligning rudder bearings and twin pedestal steering The hull is finished in Flag Blue Awlgrip in 2019. The deck is white with contrasting light grey nonskid.

Raven is equipped with a Southern Spars carbon fiber autoclave-cured mast with double swept-back carbon spreaders, carbon boom, rod rigging, carbon bow sprit, and a high-performance sail handling package. Key rig features include: • Southern Spars carbon mast and boom • Nitronic 50 discontinuous rod rigging • Harken hydraulic backstay adjuster • Dyneema backstay • Ubi Maior low-profile headsail furling system • Carbon bow sprit with Dyneema bobstay • Southern Spars rigid boom vang • Antal mast track and loader gate • Running rigging package for full offshore sail inventory Numerous custom upgrades have been made to improve efficiency, durability, and short-handed sailing, including upgraded running rigging by SD Boatworks, re-rigged inhaulers, revised vang purchase, revised traveler system, added Spinlock clutches, custom jackline points, stainless chafe strips, custom twing systems, and labeled offshore line management.
