This is a clean J-30 with a late model cockpit. Racing baltoplate bottom, fast boat according to the Bebop Crew who took a second place with Pale Rider at the 2014 Nationals.
We bought this boat from a Sailing School in New Jersey and brought her back to life. Unfortunately we are too busy to get full use out of the boat so we hate to see her go. We have raced and cruised Pale Rider over the the last 16 years on the Long Island sound.

Stefan was kind enough to loan us his boat for the 2014 J/30 NA. I hereby declare that Pale Rider was good enough to win a National Championship. That fact that it was second was because of me, not the boat. I would love to see this boat back in action on the race course.

Pale Rider and Skimmer were both owned by Rick van Loon from the NJ Sailing School. Amazing they both come up for sale at the same time!
