I'm looking forward to teaching on it. Here's a pic. For some reason,
the owner never put the current tags on it, but he does have them...
strange. He only owned it for 16 months, but decided he doesn't
sail enough to justify owning it. Can't beat for free...

I don't have many details yet, but it looks like we're going to get this

routine
diesel filter change that is due. Sails have seen very little use.

Anyone have any experience with this type of boat?

I've sailed on a Yamaha 26 and a 36, but not seen a 30. My impression is
that they are quite well built, but not stellar performers. Should be a
great club boat.

A friend of mine got a Yamaha 26 for quite low price. I've noticed these
boats don't seem to drawmuch interest on the market. Don't know why.
