This is a great, well cared for, cruising
boat. Designed by Mark Ellis (Niagara and Nonsuch designer), she has the alternate layout with a
work bench forward instead of the traditional V-berth. Blue-J has already been around
Vancouver Island once, and just returned from a 2 week trip to the Gulf Islands. The
boat is in great shape and runs/sails wonderfully. Unfortunately, my wife has decided that, although she likes cruising, she does not like sailing. As such, we're going to sell Blue-J and get a
power boat. Blue-J has a recent
survey from 09/14 and all the issues found have been addressed. (there weren't many. The
surveyor commented on how clean and nicely put together the boat was).
Recent upgrades:
Rebuilt injectors (4/15), new
Jabsco head (6/15), new
battery bank: 1 starter (group 29) and 3 house (group 31)
AGM batteries (4/15), new

Other upgrades:

electric anchor windlass, Magma
grill,
Furuno radar, Espar Airtronic D4
heater with digital controller,
Garmin Chartplotter at companion way, Tac-Tic
wind instruments, Link 10 battery
monitor, Campbell Sailor prop. I'm sure there's much more I'm forgetting, she's a very well outfitted boat.
