1979 J Boats J/30

Bummie, a very nice J/30, was built in 1979 and is hull #121. This is a rare 30 footer that sails great with standing headroom. The boat recently had roller furling installed for the jib and Strong Track on the mast to allow the mainsail super easy to hoist. These are excellent sailing boats, dry and stable.  The hull is designed with plenty of flair and reserve buoyancy forward to keep spray off the decks when sailing upwind and to prevent the bow from submarining when running before the wind in high seas.  She is stiff in a blow with good sail carrying power. Whether you choose to cruise her or race her she promises hours of fun.

The J/30 performs under mainsail alone better than most 30-foot cruisers under full sail. This "no problem" alternative comes in handy getting through storms or crowded harbors or for relaxed picnic sails. There are few boats that will surf downwind in strong winds under spinnaker with better control.

She's been well maintained with recent full engine service, interior brightwork re-finishing, internal wiring and lighting repairs, and tiller refinishing.  She's a terrific boat for family cruising, or solo sunset sails and adventures.
