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.

Now if the Boobster knew anything about boats he would have posted.
1. The J30 is slower than an Express 30. Painfully slow upwind in light air
which is why class rules allow a 163% genoa. Owners bitched and had the rules
changed. They know how slow the boat is. Boob**** thanks anything made by J
is fast. Knowledgeable people know that the only thing a J beats is another J.
Same thing as a Hobie Cat.
2. A tiller that requires the use of steriods in a breeze because of the
unbalanced rudder. The boat drives like a bus.
3. Great cabin? Try to avoid the stream of water from the chainplates while
replacing the port bulkhead that has been a failure on every J30. Try to take
a leak using the head. Try to set the prop.
4. Deck and cockpit designed for racers.
5. Plenty of other J30s to race against in some areas.
6. Racer oriented fractional rig that on every J30 has broken at the spreaders
unless modified. (I'll take a masthead any day and with a big chute run all
the fractionals down on the downwind leg.)
7. Have fun replacing the bulkhead under the cockpit floor that fails on every
J30.
8. Have fun replacing the core in the transom all around the exhaust outlet
that fails on every J30.
