La Joie de Mer is one of the newest breed of 29 meter Jongerts, designed by Tony Castro and built in 2005. She is known for her excellent build quality, modern comforts of a well-heeled yacht, and her exceptional sailing performance. Already regarded as a fine sailing vessel,
in 2008 and 2011 her keel was optimized to strengthen her sailing prowess and be more competitive on the Corinthian racing circuit. As a result, it’s noteworthy that La Joie de Mer is especially lively in light winds.
A custom carbon Hall Spars mast and Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, Harken winches and a captive main winch, plus all North 3DI sails make up the main sailing package. The rig was taken out and serviced for the 5-year rig survey, in the fall of 2023.

The layout and flow of La Joie de Mer lends itself to enjoying life aboard whether sailing or at anchor. A custom carbon Hall Spars mast and Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, Harken winches and a captive main winch, plus all North 3DI sails make up the main sailing package. The rig was taken out and serviced for the 5-year rig survey, in the fall of 2023. The tender is housed in the garage aft, so decks are clear.
