J30 Bayou Bleu for sale

1982 J30 “Bayou Bleu”

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
