As others have said, as long as you are able to sail it in your waters (depth) and consider that everything on a boat costs by the foot then I say go for it. You'll have a full survey so all the problems will get pointed out. At 30k you can afford to do repairs and upgrades and if you for some reason you decided to sell at a loss then you wouldn't be out all that much. It looks to have been well maintained and cared for...at the time of the pictures.
Do consider slip/mooring fees. 39' is a lot of boat to sail for one person but it's not a lot of room for one person. You'll probably find that you do a lot of headsail only. And make sure that it has an autohelm (or plan to add one). Check the rod rigging. Per the manufacturers recommendations it should be replaced every 10 years. That being said mine is 28 years old but has been inspected and plans are in the works to replace it. Many boats get in excess of 30 years on their rod.
