J30 Bayou Bleu for sale
1982 J30 “Bayou Bleu”
- Flag blue topsides
- Hull number 270
Bayou bleu is a fantastic racer/cruiser. I've owned her for 20 years.
I've done wednesday night races every week with a crew from 2 to 7.
I've done a lot of single handing, in winds up to 25 kts, under control.
She's also great for cruising with 2 people; I've done a one week cruise
with a friend every year.
Many upgrades, including instruments, sails, rigging.
I'm reluctantly selling Bayou Bleu because I joined a consortium on a J/97.
Bayou Bleu is currently on the hard in Branford CT.
Asking $7,500
