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.

"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. "

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.

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
