When I was looking for a boat everyone had opinions about this boat and that, but the J/30 was a consistent, "that's a great boat". They really seemed to find a nice combination that is still working 25 years later.
When I was down at TPI, mmm.. Pearson Composits, for their open house this past March, I ran into Rod on a J/124 that was being built. He has one now so I asked him how he liked it and he said that he loves it but one of his wife's favorite boat is still the J/30 (I had a tag on that said what type of J I owned). He said it was still the only boat that she was completely comfortable taking out by herself with the kids.
