There ya go, a real bonifide Ex 30 expert.


Stuff I don't like about the Depress 30....

It's old and looks it.
Not enough LOA to carry the boxy cabin trunk with any grace.
Hard lines of hull don't even look good under sail. Generic looking at best.
Stern section is not as nice as my 35s5...no way, no how.
Cabin is really small.
Few around to race against. We have 8 J30's locally.
Dead boat/builder. No support.
Horrible port design...just like my old C&C 32.
Ultra dated interior...like Mr. T's van.
Very little respect for the name even with experienced sailors.
No swim platform!

Things I like...

Fast boat
Good helm layout
Uncluttered deck

Since Loco mostly races and daysails, a Depress 30 is really enough for
him and if that's okay with him, why worry about it, Scotty?

What, me Worry?

Why does Loco's boat bug you so much?
Is it simply the fact that he has a real boat and you don't?

Scotty, owns a real sailboat.

Bug me? Not at all. I just wish Loco could be happy with it the way
you're happy with yours. Someone will always have something bigger,
better and faster. And if you pony up for the biggest and the
fastest...it won't be for long.
Loco needs to relax and just enjoy what he has.
