Team Raffiki was recently notified that J/30's will not be invited to participate this year.
There are several other classes as well, including J/29, Soverel 33, and Mirage 335 that have been disinvited. This is fallout from last years tragic loss of the yacht Wingnuts.

Check out the story on the J/Boats website. Details how two J-30 made it through the Fastnet storm in 1979.

Is anyone aware of any case of a J/30 turning turtle? Not that I've heard of. Nor have I heard of a J/30 sinking (except those holed during a hurricane). I haven't heard of a J/24 turning turtle either, but I was on one that went to the bottom...

The magic number is 103. You must have an ORR stability index >= 103. J/30s seem to range between 98.9 (Circus) and 102.8 (Falcon). I'm pretty sure the difference between the 2 is the quality of the malt beverages carried on each.
I'd wager none of the J/30s have been actually measured. Perhaps Rod or someone that knows could suggest class legal changes to a J/30 that would help improve it's SI enough to qualify.
