The two Annapolis boats no respect and Sea Biscuit are past J/30 NA winners and have been well maintained. no respect is original owner and still racing competitively. Sea Biscuit is just down the dock and setup for cruising with a removable mast track and roller furling. Funny, I spoke to the owner who was RC for our race Sunday and he never mentioned it was for sale. I would hate to see either of these boats leave Annapolis.

Bumped to move above "Sold" boats. Updated list above, although some of the Craig's list links have expired.

Bob - both Sea Biscuit and no respect have sold. The new owner for no respect has been contacted via email - the boat has moved to Maine. If you get a chance to speak with Ron Peterson, see if you can get contact info for Sea Biscuit's new owner. I think my emails are going to his spam folder.

I came across this add that went up last week. craigslist

Forever and Always has been sold and has moved to Raritan.

Steve - if you get new Forever & Always owner contact info, please send me an email so I can get the class database updated. Thanks

I believe this is the "newer" version...needs a serious clean up but for the right person it might be a worthwhile project..

Thanks - this is hull 474 that has been "lost" for a while. I've contacted the seller on eBay to get more info. The boat is located in New Jersey.

See this post for the whole story.

It is hard to believe that 474 didn't get an Ebay bid at $12K. way less than the value of its parts.

If I just had a place to store it ... duh....

v

I have a friend who emailed the owner/seller to talk to him about it and has not heard from him. Would like to see it come to Lake Ontario.

you can always have two ... You will be suprised at how easy it is to fix everything the second time around.

Here is clean J/30 located in Nanaimo, B.C. Not many for sale in the NW....

http://www.buysell.com/root/detail/BC/Sa...lboats+23+to+31

Not many for sale at $32.5K either.

Agreed....it seems anything over $ 25K is slow to move.

..and when they do move it is usually for less than $20K.

Charlie Stoddard sent me the ebay link for this. This boat is literally in my back yard - at the marina around the corner from where I live. It's been on the hard since 2002 and needs some TLC. Anyone interested in a second J/30 as a project or parts? Bids close 11 Nov 5pm EST.

Well Nemesis, Falcon & Rhapsody teamed up but got outbid on eBay to buy KAOS. I stopped by at lunch time Weds and snapped a few pictures. They are shared on my Picasa album with a select few here.

Brand new 3/4" shaft, but no prop


TSP number stamped on transom with spider web cracks indicate the transom is saturated and need to be recored


Open holes on aft cabin require recore work there. The companionway cover has about 3/4" gap with hatch boards allowing rain to enter the cabin. Significant water damage occured inside.


Standing water on teak deck. Water line evident inside up to settee level. A 2" hole has been drilled through hull in bilge sump to drain boat. The teak looks like it would need to be ripped out.


The rig looked ok, as did spars. There was a Hall quick vang below decks. It doesn't appear this boat has the spreader bar fix.


The culprit for wet core - there is a visible gap in the engine exhaust through hull. Evidence of wet core on stbd side below waterline, transom, and stbd side just fwd of transom to the deck level.


Stbd aft spider line cracks indicate wet core froze.


Stbd aft looking forward. Note that core has been crushed and the hull is deformed where the boat has been resting on the poppet.

That propshaft is worth more than the whole boat.

I stopped in and saw the boat in Portsmouth on Saturday and the extensive interior damage and obviously rotten core would lead me to agree with Dave. It could probably be fixed up to fighting shape but would wind up being more expensive than buying a 30 in better shape.

If the spar is in good shape that might be worth something as well.

current lead scrap price:
http://scrapmetalpricesandauctions.com/2010/12/scrap-metal-prices-east-coast-usa-dec-20-2010

we talking 2000 lbs? at ~ $.30

The new owner is a marine surveyor and comes from a family that owns a boat yard. He'll be able to do this project.

In that case I look forward to seeing the boat out racing.

Sheila C $13K, sailed solo to Bermuda in 2008. Soundings article from 2009 which describes the journey notes upgrade to a 2006 engine.

Arthur attended the SNE annual meeting last year and brought some pictures from his Sheila C. Bermuda trip. I raced the 2008 Newport-Bermuda with the Fat City and Smiles folks on Carl's Swan 391 "Fat City Too". A couple of guys who stayed behind for the delivery back met Arthur when he showed up in Bermuda the day after most of us flew home. Pretty amazing to single hand a J/30 Newport - Bermuda and back again!

Expires May 22, 2011 ebay J/30 . At the current price, buy the trailer, get the boat free!

I am looking for a trailer but don't know anything about them. I looked at the boat and trailer that Bob found on e-bay and then spoke with a trailer manufacturer (Loadmasters) to compare what new ones go for. I got a price of $6k for a new one. Is that a good price?

Regardless, the guy I talked to said that the boat cannot hang over the back of the trailer or one will get ticketed in most states. I mention that because the trailer on e-bay looks pretty short. Anybody have any input here?

When I was looking to transport my boat from NY to MA, I looked into purchasing a trailer. I was quoted a similar price.

The outfit I talked to was Triad Trailer and they sent me the attached pdf which breaks down the costs and has several options.

I will say that the trailers that Triad makes look MUCH more substantial than the trailer in the e-bay posting.

So OK ... what's the phrf on an outboard J30? must be fast in light wind.

Not sure the rules on eBay, but the original 'listing was ended ended by the seller because the item is no longer available' on the boat noted above. Then relisted with a reserve.

I think this may be hull 233 that was the former Cigar lost in Katrina.

eBay, Scoundrel to June 27, 2011, starting at $12K US. Pics show original stoppers and hatches. A shot of the cockpit would have been nice, but all the interior photos show wood and cushions in good shape.

I contacted the seller (Avi Brand) - That's hull #395 and it has been added to the class database.

I came across this posting for "Mojo" on ebay - the boat has a 4,999 reserve.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/J30-sailb...8925429a3#v4-42

Sum of parts worth more than min bid.

For anyone handy this boat probably could be sailing with a 5 year update plan off season.

You don't have to make it perfect to sail this summer.

Shoot, the problems listed on the boat probably affect 80 percent of the fleet! Plan on new chainplates, I too had voids in the deck area around mine, and found them cracked nearly all of the way through. New plates, some epoxy for the deck voids, and she is good as new. Bottom looks really nice.
