This was my first time owning a sailboat after sailing for years on other peoples. I refited the boat extensivly. It has been an education, but I don't regret it. I have used the boat for 2 months and it is only up for sale as I have been given an unexpected buisness opportunity with an invention of mine. It is a solid boat. She is very roomy inside. I would sell this boat to my next door neighbor or best friend without any hesitation. Not many who are selling boats can say that. Currently in Miami Beach, Please take a look, you won't be disappointed.

Asking $8,900 USD and upon response I will be reasonable.
To the right person, this boat will be an amazing find.

Finally a smaller vessel with a reasonable layout. Looks pretty well suited to be a liveaboard, how's she sail?

These ladies got a bad rep because of the smaller bucaneers but Bill Garden designed the 305. I had one back on the 80's. we sailed the gulf from South Padre to key west and she did fine. She out sailed a person 30 and a hunter 30 tgat we used to cruise with. She was a great gunk hole boat ...we loved her shallow shoal draft. We lived on her for 3 years. We now have an Endeavor 37 and a halmatic Nelson 40...if my husband saw this add he would probably want her too! Good luck!

This would make someone a nice live aboard or coastal cruiser...hope she can go to someone that can appreciate her. People reading this shouldn't get this Bill Garden Designed 305 confused with the other buccaneer sailboats that were designed by someone else. This lady can sail and has more comfortable space than any other 30 i have been on. Good luck!

I am interested in your boat if it is still on the market.
I am planning on being in the Miami area in early February and would like to take a look at it.
It is docked or on a hook, where?
What would be a good time to contact you as to my exact time in the Miami area.
Noticed registration is for Maryland, any problems in getting it registered in Florida?
If you have more pictures, please e-mail me any you can. Thanks!
Look forward to hearing from you.
Dave

Is the boat still available? If so, I would like to see if I could schedule a time to come look at it.
