J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Cruising Discussions Requesting maintenence assistance

Michael,
The boat is balsa cored, deck and hull. You will find quite a bit of maintenance-related discussion on this site under "Boat, Sails and Equipment." I am not aware of any J/30's with rub rails. Be sure to check with the class measurer before making any significant modifications if you intend to sail the boat in OD events.
Good luck and congratulations!
