hi all,
i would really appreciate your help. I am interested in purchasing a mangrove jack, but can't find any information on how they sail. I can't even find a reference of anyone even owning one and sharing their experience.

i am familiar with motor cruises having owned a fisher 32 and sold that for an S&S as a bit of a change but miss the motor sailor.

If if their is anyone out their who could shed some light on their sailing ability and sea handling that would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

I don't think they would be the fastest boat on the water but look stable. One for sail at Mooloolaba.

If you're after a lovely motor sailer there is a Halvorsen 31 on the For Sale section of this site, looks beautifully maintained and has a 50 hp perkins, suggest you check it out, may be let go for just under 20k. Have seriously considered it myself.
