Hello,
I'm looking at buying a J-30. I plan to race it one-design and do some crusing too. Could anybody tell me what the weight difference is between the older models with a fiberglass floor, and the newer ones with a full interior (teak & holly sole, celling, etc.) is? Does it make any difference for racing?
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

I can't tell you the difference in weight, but checking floatlines during measurement for the NA's, admittedly a gross comparison, tends to confirm there is little difference. We have the full interior including teak and holly sole and wood battens in the bow, main cabin and quarter berth on #481 and have never felt at any disadvantage racing one-design against the full range of #2-545 in the Annapolis fleet.

Brian, I have a J-30 that is for sale now. The prior owner installed a holly sole. Please email me at ernbivona@marketing-sales.com Originally posted by Brian Gardner:
