Designed by Van de Stadt, this Jupiter 30 was built around 1980. It is a competitive cruiser/racer that offers good performance along with a comfortable interior for family cruising.
While she may not be brand new, she has been regularly maintained by her current owner and now presents an opportunity for a new owner! She has also had some upgrades since the photos were taken, including new upholstery and continuous annual upgrades.
