Default Loco's Express 30, a True Racer?

There appears to be a festering, deep down, genuine hatred/jealousy of Loco
and his yacht. There must be more to this than we know about. eh?

Loco has made a bitch of Booby Sue. 95% of his posts are about Loco. His

first
posts of the day are about Loco! His last posts of the evening are about

Loco!
The power of Loco compels him!

Loco recently admitted to me, in a tearful moment, that only 80 Express

30's
were built!!!
Holy Godzooky! Calling that poor ugly thang a still-born failure was a
understatement if there ever was one!
Why did it fail?
1) Terribly overpriced at the time.
2) Bland interior that was downright awful on some versions
3) Ugly deckhouse and overall look turned off many buyers.
4) Primitive cockpit design, hard edges and best for a tiller
5) No marque value or reputation for quality dispite a few good reviews.

Now lets look at a raceboat that worked and had more than 600

built...the J30.
1) Fast, fast, fast and fun to sail.
2) A real racer with a tiller.
3) a simply great cabin.
4) Deck and cockpit designed for racers
5) Plenty of other J30's to race against! There are 5 on City Island

alone!
6) Racer oriented fractional rig.

So IF YOU WANT TO RACE, why buy the Express 30? One reason...price. They

can be
found CHEAP. By contrast, a nice J30 will still command 30K or more.
