Salsa Verde is for sale!!!!

I finally put a sign on my boat. As I was tying it with strings to the life lines, on a warm breezy evening, a sailboat passed by the dock and yelled: “Selling? No! Come on!!!!” All I could do was raise my shoulders and my arms in a slow and sad acknowledging motion…

Enough winning, now about the boat:
Salsa Verde is probably the prettiest J30 you’re going to find in the southeast. Ok, I may have a bias opinion about that, but when I bought her 3 years ago I had to go all the way to Virginia because there was no such a J30 available closer than that. Since then, I have made major improvements and have taken really good care of her. She is honestly in much better shape than she was. To name a few important things, I did all the re-coring needed where water had infiltrated the deck and sealed (not with caulk, but with epoxy!) almost all the hardware holes on deck so no more water can ever get in. I also redid the bottom paint all the way to a new barrier coat (interprotect 2000e) so there will not be 20 layers of old paint to sand off if you ever want to change the antifouling type.

Some features:
 very decent sail wardrobe (one mainsail – North Sharkskin Dacron; two #1 genoa 160%; 1 jib 110%; 3 spinnakers; one staysail; one storm jib)
 reliable engine (fuel tank and cooling system cleaned… what you don’t want to have to do underway!)
 All standing rigging (mast, boom, stays) has been replaced between 2003 and 2008 (except spreaders)

I could go on and on about all the details, but I’ll keep that for when you come for an inspection visit! Feel free to navigate my blog to find out more about her. The bottom line is that this is a top shape J30, race ready or cruising ready, that just depends on how you feel like!

Waiting to hear from you!
