do you have the table posts? that would be a consideration on how to construct. Basically a box sitting on two posts with two storage areas and two leaves attached with piano hinge. I found that taking off the starboard leaf worked ok.
Consider the fact that on some auto racing circuits, the racers prefer to use lexan instead of glass for windshields. While I already have one scratch in one new Polycarbonate [lexan] window, done by impact with jaw of spin pole, all it is is a scrat
not included ... probably an expensive option not available via ebay. we don't use for navigation, just for wind shifts as they are easier to read than GPS and GPS averaging.
I've always wondered if the early boats were perhaps closer to design spec because production wasn't as flat out so perhaps more attention was paid to details. I don't like the idea of adding keel weight. We perform like a hot damn upwind already, a
So OK ... already the j30 is a bit too tame for some of the crew. How can I keep them interested in light wind and flat water. duh.... 25 mile afternoon day sail.
Scott, It's pretty smooth right up to the strut but I'm not sure if it's glass or fairing compound. There is a guide on the prop on the Martec site in terms of rebuild-ability. The wildcard is the electrolysis factor. How pink is the prop? The dif
Just my two cents. I think if you are going to convince boats to travel a considerable distance for one design racing, the courses should conform to the current standard for all one design sailing events, which is a windward leeward course. Distanc
While looking to purge some things, I realized I have old J/30 main. It's a classic - has a luff/leach line, appears to be mylar on dacron scrim, and it looks like it's a radial cut. J/30 logo is blue. It's used, could stand to be cleaned, but could
Presto, a J30 is looking for crew this season. We will race out of Raritan Yacht Club in Perth Amboy, NJ and plan on sailing the Wednesday night series plus several weekend events. Please call John Dennerlein on 203-509-1469 or email if interested. L
MOB was probably 165-175 lbs. She could swim and hold on despite early season cold water conditions. Probably would not strong enough to climb out unassisted. We don't carry a fixed boarding ladder, so I've considered adding a safety ladder like what
