JP: I have hull #47 in Easton, MD. I cannot use it enough to justify the expenses. I would be glad to talk to you and believe I can sell well below the broker...
I would be interested in seeing some pics of this boat, knowing what she has in the way of equipment, and what your thinking of as and asking price. I have a...
I am looking for information on the size of the Packing where the two Flanges are bolted together. Mine were quite loose and I adjusted them down, but I think...
I am thinking about purchasing a j28. The surveyor has found moisture in the decks around the chain plates and tracks. I am sure, give the age and time they...

Hi JP, WE purchased a J 28 Hull #4 1987, Some moisture was showing around the Change plates, and the deck had some cragged's as well, I have since removed the...
Moisture in this area is pretty common for these boats. As long as the core is not saturated (you didn't tell us the actual moisture and how spread out), I...
The moisture in the decks of this boat is significant, but no delamination has occured yet. I need to get the actual meter reading from the surveyor. He...
I would pass, personally. Or, if you are fixated on this particular hull...have the current owners repair, or have a reputable yard give you a quote to repair...
We looked 3 Pearson 32.2s last year, before we bought the J28. They all had wet decks and we got an estimate of around 10K to fix them. You just might want to...
IM getting close to becoming a bona fide member of this group. About to pull the trigger on a boat Another question...Having sailing racing dinghys my whole...
Your friends are correct, a partially rolled up headsail will distort. Ok for cruising, not OK for racing in a competitive fleet. If you are not going to race,...
Mabye I will go with the big Genoa and save for a 110 next year and carry two. LIS is notorious for light breeze in summer How do you like the DOYLE sails?...
The #1 on Compass Rose is a 145%. I just ordered a #2, which will be ~115% and become my primary headsail. I find that the 145 is nice for 0-10 knots. Get a...
Ww have been happy with the local Doyle loft in Marblehead/Salem, it is only 45 minutes away, as is the local North loft too. They are quick to respond to any...
John, If I were staying with one roller furling sail for a broad wind range that included frequent sailing in breezy conditions, I would stay with the standard...
John, I'd stay with a 135%, and if you can afford it, an asymmetrical spinnaker for the really light air. The J28 is a very good light air boat because of the...
John, I sail with a 135 all season, that is until the last race when I put up my 105. I've used this sail up to 25 knots (reefed main) with no problems. Only...
JP, Where did you find your J28? I was talking with my neighbor at the boat yard yesterday, he said he had someone coming to look at his Tartan 34-2 and that...
thats my boat the owners had #24 from amherst NH. great guys The boat is in awesome shape. some moitsture in the deck, gonna truck it to my house next winter...
Hello all. Does anyone have any experience/advice with Asymetrical Spinnakers on the J28? I am considering ordering one, but and wondering about mounting...
IM learning a lot from this group. Does anyone have any advice on tuning the mast? Seems to be a large contradiction. The J28 owners manual says to place the...
I too tried what the manual said and initially put the mast as far back as possible. Then moved it forward, per recommendations of some J105 racers. The boat...
Thanks for the advice. This is a great group I like bit wind so I am going to stay with a 135 jenny (sailing alone) I have an older 150 i am going to have...
