29' J Boats J-29 '85 "Ono"

This J-29 represents the best of both worlds as she has a mast head rig, removeable Harken roller furling for cruising/racing, a large aftermarket 18 hp inboard diesel, a custom re-balanced rudder, faired keel and all self-tailing winches.

All this adds up to an excellent family inshore/offshore racer or an easy daysailor/singlehander.

She is well-maintained and race ready.
