except the J30 has a MUCH nicer interior, proper tiller for a
racer, ability to race other J30s and so on. It also looks better and
is a more versatile boat overall. And J-Boat still exists. You can't
even find a rating for the poor Depress 30 in most places!

J30 = better boat? Are you refering to the port chainplate bulkhead
that fails in every boat? or are you refering to the under cockpit
bulkhead that fails in every boat? or are you refering to the stern
area around the engine exhaust that rots and fails on every boat? or
are you refering to the rig that fails at the spreader and buckles on
every boat unless the mod kit is installed beforehand? The J30 is a
good boat but it ain't built better than an Express.
