The SJ30 is a highly regarded cruiser racer from the pencil of Stephen Jones and built by Oyster Marine. "RSJ" is presented in clean well-maintained condition having had new floorboards, saloon table, sea cocks, and stern gear in 2022. She comes with a good inventory and is ready to go out and win races, and placed second in the prestigious Burnham Week Town Cup in 2019. In our opinion, she offers a great combination of competitive racing and fast cruising at a very reasonable price! Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office
