Broker's Comments

This popular J-Boat model which comes from the design board of Rod Johnson have been an imminent contender in the J-Boat Circuit since the late 70's. This particular J-30 has under gone some nice upgrades recently with a newer 15 hp engine, a large sail complement & new paint above & below the water line. The current owner has enjoyed racing this boat & entered several Harvest Moon Regattas & won placings in more than 5 of these races. This boat would be ideally suited for a family starter boat or coastal cruiser as well as continuing the racing regatta circuit alike.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
