Design
The J/111 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. Construction is glass reinforced polyester and a balsa fiberglass vinylester sandwich via vacuum bag molding. It has a fractional sloop rig with a keel-stepped carbon fiber mast with two sets of swept spreaders, an aluminum boom and steel rod rigging. It has a retractable bowsprit, a plumb stem, an open and sightly reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed cast iron, fin keel with a weighted lead bulb. It displaces {{convert|9370|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|3516|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|7.18|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel.
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo D1-20 diesel engine of {{convert|18|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds {{convert|13|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|26.4|u.s.gal}}. The holding tank is {{convert|11.9|u.s.gal}}
The design has sleeping accommodation for six to eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths in the main cabin around a folding table, two aft quarter berths, plus two optional fold-up sea-berths. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin head room is {{convert|70|in|cm|abbr=on}}.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|1399|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, flown from the retractable bowsprit.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.66|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.
