1985 J Boats J 30 For Sale

INTERESTED? - CALL ME DIRECT, RANDY 912-429-4978

The J- boat 30 has many features you would expect in a larger vessel and a comfortable design not normally found in a fast sailing vessel.

The rear cockpit is large and offers easy access to the tiller and full view of the instrumentation... Entry into the cabin is easy through the large hatch and convenient steps.

Cabin is also spacious with a full galley and stand up head.

Salon has seating on the port and starboard that converts for sleeping, a forward V berth and an aft cabin that sleeps one comfortably.

Wide non-skid deck.
.
Sails were new in April 2015 - Basically a New Main and a 155 Genoa


If you want to experience the pure excitement of sailing fast; ripping along on a reach and carving waves in a 20kt blow! or if you just want to cruise with a bit more speed. Then read on! The J30 is known as one of the best all around performance sailboats to ever come out of the Johnstone Yachts Stable. The fractional rig design makes sail trim easy and the light weight, rugged hull has certainly withstood the test of time. This is the 'Mk II' version which has 'back rests' in the cockpit to prevent cockpit flooding when sailing offshore. Making her a very able offshore boat.
