Professionally maintained. A sailing school has owned her for the past four years-using her as a teaching platform. USCG licensed instructors are onboard most of the time while teaching/daysailing. She was lightly daysailed by a private owner prior to her school owning her.
She is relatively bare bones and set up perfectly for daysailing more so than racing, however, it wouldn't take much money to turn her into a competitive racer again!
The J80 privides excellent stability and performance, and is actually rated for offshore racing due to it's structural design and features! This exciting sport boat is extremely easy to sail/race short handed! See video of her current owner sailing singlehanded the year she was purchased just to say he did!
