Hi all. Proud new owner of a 1982 30. Looking forward to participating in the discussions here. 
New owner!

First boat I have actually owned. Did a lot of sailing with the folks, back in the day. Now that the kids are grown, and I have a bit of time on my hands, I wanted to get back into it. Thought about getting something a little smaller (trailer sailer), but I knew the boss would not be happy with something that didn't have a full head and a decent galley. Looked at a few different boats (hunter 31, hunter 28.5, etc.) Until I found this one. A little older than others I had looked at, but the PO was second owner and took impeccable care of her. Lots of upgrades. There are a few changes I would like to make, but she's basically ready to sail. Can't wait for more favorable weather so I can get her out.
@JrzSailor Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new boat!
I see you're in Barnegat? We must be neighbors. Where are you slipping your boat?

Congratulations. Planning to have my 37C in the Forked River State Marina this summer also. Looking forward to meeting. Last winter, had it at Mariner's Marina in Barnegat; mixed bag there. Skilled, but lots of attitude.
Congratulations,
That a great boat. Sailed my father’s for years and taught sailing on them.
Great first boat to learn on, very comfortable to sail , and perfect for weekend trips.
You are going to fined that it’s a really well designed and easy to sail boat.
Very forgiving if you make any newbie mistakes while leaning the ropes.
Good luck and welcome aboard

Jrz,
Forked river marina is very nice, looks like we will be Barnegat bay neighbors. I keep my H34 in Toms River at Light House Point hopefully get to see you on the water this summer. My father had a 1977 hunter 30 and we loved it.
Sailed all of Barnegat bay and to Nantucket just about every summer as a kid. Very comfortable cruising boat.
Good luck

Finally sailed her down from Sayville to Barnegat inlet. What a great trip! Steady 10 - 15 mph winds pretty much the entire way. Got buzzed by the Blue Angels practicing for the weekend airshow as I passed Jones Beach! She's at her new home slip in Forked River. See you on the bay!
