Margay has a gray Hull with red cove and boot stripe and black bottom. Her hull, deck and running rigging and equipment have been maintained in accordance with J/30 one design specifications. Prior to our ownership she spent the majority of her life cruising. We have raced her successfully over the past 10 years.

Margay is in solid condition, and has been out of the water every winter of her career. There are no moisture issues in the hull of which we are aware.

She had a good series at the recent North American Championships in Barrington, keeping pace with the top boats in the fleet.

She is presently located in Quissett Harbor, MA on Cape Cod and will winter in our yard in Hingham, MA

Margay has been brought back to Hull, MA at this point. She will be in the water through Columbus Day at the least. After that she will be on the hard in Hingham, MA.
