307 came with a Racing Boom.

Rhapsody #348 Past J/30 Class President Joined: May 2007 Posts: 2,669 Portsmouth, RI	Most boats have the "Racing Boom" See this link on the Rig-Rite website which states: J/30 Boom Assemblies are complete but do not include Gooseneck Toggle, K-10345A, or standard Vang Bracket, K-1757-1, due to the increasing use of Solid Vangs (which require special brackets). Standard Boom Assemblies use the Flush-cut Outhaul Assembly, K-11471, while Racing Boom Assemblies use the lightweight Cut-away Outhaul Assembly, K-43008, with special tapered end cut to further reduce weight. Both styles are fully class legal. Bill Kneller Past Owner - Rhapsody J/30 #348 Projects & Documentation Core Replacement & Maintenance Blog Vento Solare J/109 #266
