SO OK ... we had a terrific weekend J30 regional regatta between Gould Island and Jamestown.

Vee Jay, as the J30 at host NYC, raced in cruising mode ... roller furling, Tides-marine sail track, and 155 genny.

I've come to the conclusion that we were competitive only against Good News ... when Good News was using a #2 genny in ~15 kts of wind on Sunday.

At which point that test was decided by crew errors on each boat.

other than that, in light wind on Saturday, the entire fleet easily wiped us out ... although naturally with OD spin up we do seem to be ~ close. which logically would be the case.
