JAAN TOO FOR SALE
After almost 10 years of ownership it is time to pass Jaan Too onto another owner. She was repowered with a Yanmar 3YM30AE and has less than 90 hours. She is in excellent condition and moored in Coconut Grove, Florida. All service records are on file and a boat survey was carried for insurance purposes last year.
For more information feel free to contact me by text first.

Article on the Pilot
Everyone should read my article in the 2023 August issue of Points East Magazine about my story with the Pilot. I'm the guy in the centerfold.

"I had interest mainly from New England if that helps. I used Dimillo."
"Agree. Would you recommend your broker in MD or should I select a local broker in Miami, Florida?"
"There was moderate interest but it requires a buyer interested in a classic yacht. Get a good broker"

"Anybody need a spinnaker pole? Spar only, effectively--jaws are fused solid. Available in Westbrook, CT this summer."
"Our luff is padded and the shape is not to bad but not perfect especially up wind. I don’t really know what kinda sail cut I would go with. That would depend on the type of sailing you would be doing. Racing vs cruising. "
"Thanks Ryan. I've been doing the same but the sail shape is pretty inefficient as I roll it up that much. But it's less money than a new jib! Would you look for a tri radial in a new genny?"
"We have a 135 Genoa and find that reefing it down to a 110 when the wind is 15+knots we don’t lose any speed up wind. The boat sails flatter and faster with less weather helm. I would like to eventually get a 110 Genoa made for our…"
100% Jib
I mostly single hand my Pilot though being the good sport that she is, my wife will occasionally sail with me on shorter 2 or 3 day cruises. Since I bought Morning Star 20 years ago, she has had a 135% genny which has been wonderful. Now that I’m getting older I’m wondering how folks feel about having a smaller jib like a 100% or 110%? I know I will give up some speed with wind below say 12 knots but from 15 knots and above I don’t think I’d give up too much speed and she’d be easier to handle…See More
"Thanks for your comment , Charles. It would be interesting to discuss with anyone who has done the replacement. I wonder, for example, what would be the most practical size to fit into the openings, and how to make sure the finished…"
"have considered this for Edel, our pilot yawl. spartan marine makes ports that look to be a good option. "
