Funny that with five J30's on City Island (I know 4 of the owners) none of
them have any serious problems.

Maybe they are all as stupid as you are.

Also, the J30 website lists some of the problems, but aside from the
bulkheads (not a big job), it's pretty rare for the J30 to need much.

Rare if the boat has had the work done already.

The 30 was a successful boat, where the Express wasn't.

Different times dimwit. The J30 started out in boom times - 1979 - and had
a good run because of one design status. The Express started out in the mid
eighties just before things went sour in the sailboat building business when
MANY quality builders failed. Hell, S2 one of the most respected builders of
the time and a tremendously popular boat with charter trade desided to close
shop.
You know nothing about boats.

Show me a pics of Express 30's competing against each other in an
anual race!

Gee I guess your attempting to come up with a winning challenge with that
one. We all know there's not enough hulls in most areas to do that and
secondly there would have to be some interest. However I do understand there
is or has been a one design class on the Great Lakes because of the number of
boats that were sold in that area.
