All, I have a winter cover specifically made for the J 28. I do not need it here in Florida and someone may find it really useful in a northern location. It...
Good Morning, Bill Kellett here. I am a new member of the J-28 group. My wife and I are long time cruisers and we are now scaling down from a larger boat to,...
Bill, Good luck on the hunt and don't be afraid to make offers on the ones that have been out there awhile, maybe the owners are ready to listen. I'd offer you...
Roy, your upsizing co-incides with our downsizing. You can find our current baot, a 35ft Wauquiez Pretorien on the YachtWorld website (its the one in Noank)....
Do any of you know the name of the owner of a J-28 named Le Soleil. She is located in the Capt Cove Seaport in Bridgeport CT.. John Power provided this lead...
The J/28 sales prospectus states that it carries a 20 gal diesel tank. I removed my tank once to empty and thoroughly clean it. On refilling it was clear that...
Also my J/28 (hull #2) has a 1:1 outhaul, not 4:1 as claimed. Maybe the original riggers slipped up on this, and you all actually have 4:1? =============== The...
FWIW, Le Soleil was donated to Mass Maritime last spring and was sold by them in late Summer. Current whereabouts unknown, unless it is now back in CT. ...
Tom, Thank you for the information on Le Soleil. That's unfortunate that she has gone to points unknown. Apparently she was in nice condition. Bill From:...
Bill, Yes, good in appearance but the survey found delamination issues... Tom ... Bill, Yes, good in appearance but the survey found delamination issues... Tom...
Tom, Thanks for the information. How common are delamination issues in the J-28 and how difficult are they to repair. Same question regards moisture in the...
Hello all IN answers to the banter on the yahoo group, and I have posted some new pics. There are pics of the mystery ship LE SOLEIL, Pics of some delaminated...
Hi Steve, Mine definitely has a 4:1 outhaul. I don't know for sure about the diesel tank size but I do know that I have put 15 gallons in and the tank had...
JP, My J28 had extensive core rot around both chain plates which I easily repaired. I had done the same on my prior J29 and before that on my J24 so I was...
Replace the cam cleat for the outhaul with a head knocker block (harken 291 or equivalent). Much easier to generate additional force when adjusting....
Bill, I'm curious if you have looked into the J 28 for sale up in New York (Hound?) - I think listed with McMichael yacht brokers? I know nothing about it,...
Jeff, Thanks for the heads up on Hound. I did call about two weeks ago and found she had been sold in November. They are just slow taking down the listing....
Bill, No problem. How many J 28s have you found (if any) currently actively for sale, and where are they located? I paid $32K for my boat a few months ago....
William, There's a 1986 J/28 for sale at HSH Yachts on Galveston Bay in Texas. They're asking $29,500. I haven't seen it in person but it appears to be in good...
Frank Francis, I have had that there was a J-28 for sale in Texas but never had good contact information. Now, with what you have provided here I was able to ...
Best of luck to you Bill! She's been for sale for some time now so I would imagine they're ready to sell. Take care, Frank ... Best of luck to you Bill! She's...
I have two possibilies. On is in Cleveland and the other in Greenport. Greenport as a location is attractive to me as there would be no trucking cost. The...
I think people get attached to these boats and don't want to let them go.... When I was looking, there were 4 boats for sale, I could not get a response from 3...
Bill, I looked into the Cleveland boat over the summer during my own search for a J-28. I am in Chicago, so I hired a surveyor to take a 30-minute preliminary...
Jeff, Good market intelligence re the Cleveland boat. I went so far as to get her USCG Doc number form the Documentation people. My next step, were I to ...
Ok, I almost hate stating this but my boat, J28 hull #11 is for sale. it is not listed and won't be advertised till spring. Plenty of upgrades including an 8:1...
Hi, John. Where is she located? Any pictures? Dan (another future J28 owner) On Jan 24, 2013, at 8:29 PM, John <jfws88@...> wrote: Ok, I almost hate...
