Seattle Area
I sailed quite a bit as a teenager in my home town of Chicago and I recently moved to the Seattle area and looking to buy a J/30 so I can get back into the sport. Doesn't need to be a perfect boat but I'm only interested in 84-86 models with the newer cockpit and galley design.

Thanks

Great welcome to the area. Have you looked at any boats yet?
I have not checked the list lately to see what is on the market.

if you scroll back on my posts in the one design fleet I mapped all the boats so I know where they are.
the largest concentration is right near you in Everett.
You looking to race?

I know of two that might be on the market soon. the owners are looking at bigger boats. I have told one of them so if you see him pop up here you will know why.

feel free to email me or the regional gov to get a feel for the local fleet.

Nice sailing in the middle of winter eh!

Thanks.

I haven't looked at any boats yet, I'm still trying to figure out what (if any) boats are on the market. I'm also trying to figure out what costs I'm looking at, such as harbor fees, dry dock fees, etc. so I can have a clear estimate as to what I can afford.

OK I will say Grady Morgan who has Sling shot can tell you the local prices.

he may know of any boats in the area that are for sale.

I told Grady to have a look in on this post and introduce himself.

we are kind of sharing the regional Gov thing from North and South.

Check out our posts on the North west one design.

have you Bean out on a J30? I will assume yes and that is why you chose the boat? there are some races coming up if you want to get out on the watter.
