The 30 MKI is a beast. I owned one and loved it. They can be had in reasonable shape for less than 10K nowadays.
For a day sailor/ weekend cruiser, Invest in a good reef-able genny on a reliable roller furled/reefer and a cruising spinnaker. You will probably never need to reef the main. she sails great on headsail alone. They are designed to be races with a full inventory of headsails (up to 170+) so keep in mind the main is very skinny. The rail just goes deeper as you plow along at hull speed. I miss that boat.
