1982 J/30 - Hull #392 SALSA VERDE located in Apollo Beach, Florida

Asking $24,000 obo

I finally put a sign on my boat. As I was tying it with strings to the life lines, on a warm breezy evening, a sailboat passed by the dock and yelled: "Selling? No! Come on!!!!" All I could do was raise my shoulders and my arms in a slow and sad acknowledging motion_ You'll want to know the reason for selling: I'm moving back to Canada! And even if there's lots of water everywhere, I won't be close enough to any racing to make it worth it.

Enough winning, now about the boat:
Salsa Verde is probably the prettiest J30 you're going to find in the southeast. Ok, I may have a bias opinion about that, but when I bought her 3 years ago I had to go all the way to Virginia because there was no such a J30 available closer than that. Since then, I have made major improvements and have taken really good care of her. She is honestly in much better shape than she was. To name a few important things, I did all the re-coring needed where water had infiltrated the deck and sealed (not with caulk, but with epoxy!) almost all the hardware holes on deck so no more water can ever get in. I also redid the bottom paint all the way to a new barrier coat (interprotect 2000e) so there will not be 20 layers of old paint to sand off if you ever want to change the antifouling type.

Some features:

• good sail wardrobe (one mainsail - North Sharkskin Dacron; two #1 genoa 160%; 1 jib 110%; 3 spinnakers; one staysail; one storm jib)
• reliable engine (fuel tank and cooling system cleaned_ what you don't want to have to do underway!)
• All standing rigging has been replaced in 200X (except spreaders)

I could go on and on about all the details, but I'll keep some info so you can ask a few questions! Feel free to navigate my blog to find out more about her at www.SalsaVerde.org. The bottom line is that this is a top shape J30, race ready or cruising ready, that just depends on how you feel like!

Waiting to hear from you!

This is very sad ... but next winter if you are on vacation ... check Naples out.

That 32385 spin is pretty ... what's the chance I can pick it up?
