I bought my boat, after I knew I wanted a J30, by contacting the owner through the harbor master and offering to buy it. I was searching, without success, across the country. I ended up buying one less than 5 minutes from the house.

The harbor master passed my name along, the boat owner called, and we were eventually able to work it out. Plus, it came with a great slip which is normally at the end of a 3 - 5 year waiting list.

We took a keelboat course, the Admiral was a sailor, she wanted to see if I would like it too (me being a power boater and all). Halfway through the course, friends that were moving and unable to sell their boat, offered it to us to use and try to sell it for them.
Spent a month driving back and forth, cleaning and repairing and making ready for the transit from Comox to Victoria. 3 days prior to our planned trip down, it sold. (someone was paying attention).
Started hunting via the net, set up some appointments, got more disappointed and ended up walking the local marinas.
Just as we were about to give up, we stumbled upon a lovely little Hunter H28. Just came in that day. No info on it yet, sales staff were gone for the day but the VERY wise receptionist let us have a look.
1 week later....
Had a great 2 years on her, but then got posted to Ontario. Could not justify $13k to ship it cross country.

We were here for almost 3 weeks when the withdrawl symptoms started.

We spent almost a year searching the net and driving all over hell's 1/2 acre. So many lumps for sale, it wasn't funny.
See, we had this list of wants and nothing even came close, so we gave up.
Then we rented a cottage for a week.
Of course there was a marina/brokerage just up the road.
Had a nice stroll and kicked a few tires and just as we're about to leave, it is mentioned that there is ONE more, but it can't be listed/sold, as it was owned by an american and wasn't "landed".

We took a quick look, what could it hurt.

So doesn't this boat hit EVERY point on our list including 6ft 4in headroom.
So we put in a ridiculously low offer, what could it hurt.
Doesn't it get accepted. Yikes!

End of a long story. Start of another love affair.
