there is really nothing quite compared to the J out there which does a lot of things very well. You either have sportboats where you cant get the wife to relax on or leadmines which sail like crap.
I taked to Mr Johnstone a couple of years back ( at a show where i looked at a J 100 and he asked me about wht boat I sail. I said J 30 and his eyes were lighten up and he said.... great boat , if we would make a new one with all the stuff the j can do it would be VERY expensive ( over 150 grand )
Ergo... even if you have to work on one and dunk 10 grand into it its an absolute bargain in the long run. If you keep a J 30 in good shape and do preventive maintenace you also will get the money back you invested .... maybe more ... there are very I mean very few boats who can say that in earnest.
Go for it ...
