J24 on the hard for a year
Thinking about buying a j24.
Found one for sale that was obviously well cared for while active. It’s probably a boat from the early 80s. Holes from old hardware are filled. Stanchions seem solid. Keel looks well attached. Raced here and elsewhere for years. Double axle trailer. And a low price. Bulkheads look solid, though it’s hard to tell.
The question: she hasn’t sailed for a year or so, is in a boatyard on a trailer, and water got in: it’s now above the sump.
Run away? Don’t worry...
