SOLD. Classic J30 sailboat in good condition reduced for quick sale by owner at $5200 or Make Reasonable Offer!!! Slip paid until July 17th . Hull #387 (Cannonball) Solid deck and hull with bottom painted last spring. Needs some cosmetic TLC (hull and deck paint) but still presents well. Stored on lift for most of her life, but for the past 3 years she has been in water and hauled out 2x annually for cleaning. Hull is fast and is scrubbed weekly! Cannonball has a long tradition of winning from most notable - 1st in J30 US Nationals, to most recent - 2nd in MYC Regatta in August against some very fast company. Consistent top finisher when raced in PHRF. During my tenure I repaired/re-cored all deck issues and resealed most of the hardware. She is a mechanically solid and dry boat and is ready for paint. Interior is complete except for Table and everything works including stove. My plan was to paint her in spring, but I recently purchased a J35 so I am a motivated to sell her at a great price. Good motor, Rudder dry, Transom dry, Chain plates dry, deck and hull dry, Low retail is 14K. Everything that it needs is listed at the end of ad. If you are willing to take on painting the deck and Hull you will be getting a bargain! De-winterized and ready to sea trial!!

I can't say as I'd be able to buy her. However, if you ever had components for sale...I might be in the market for some things.
