Hello all,
I am in the process of purchasing a 1982 J30 - my first boat. I am having her surveyed and doing a sea trial this Saturday and had a question I am hoping someone can answer. I had heard from a friend that there was an original "flaw" with the mast/spreaders on the J30 design. His contention is that it was universal enough that there was a standard "fix" for the issue. The surveyor I spoke to was unfamiliar with the specific issue (if it exists) and wondering if anyone knows what I should be looking for (if anything) along those lines.
Glad to be a new owner and forum member... I'll have LOTS of questions for y'all as the months progress.
best
Nick
