Javelin 30 - 1978 - Very keenly priced to sell at £7,950
The Javelin 30 is a very stylish little sailing yacht, her distinctive lines attracted a wide range of yachtsmen from racing to family cruising circles. She can still turn a few heads!
Designed in the 1970’s by Fred Parker as an economical way to start offshore racing and in the early years the design did well in racing, with a reputation for sweet handling and excellent windward all-weather performance helped by an excellent ballast ratio. But they are now viewed as economical and pretty fast cruisers for those who value sailing performance over accommodation.
This example was built in 1978 as a MK II Javelin, with 3 berth accommodation and a separate sea toilet forward.
She has been nicely maintained, including fitting a new Beta diesel in 2010 (Now with only 336 hours run), new keel bolts in 2017, new windows & headlining’s in 2014 along with a full hull repaint.
