Forgive me - a dumb question. Do we regulate the thickness of the mainsail or headsail?

No weight restriction on headsails, but there is on the main. See extract from class rules below:

5.12.1.3 Sailcloth in the #1, #2 and #3 Genoa is not restricted. This change in approved sailcloth goes into effect no later than October 17, 2005. Individual J30 Class Districts may adopt this change for local events at an earlier date.

5.12.2 Mainsail
5.12.2.1 Minimum cloth weight is 6.25 oz.

On Lake Ontario the J/30 takes a penalty for the # 1 Genoa and the length of the Spinnaker Pole. We have a .5oz kite which is very beneficial when sailing in light air with other PHRF boats.
I would be in favor of changing the minimum weight to .5oz.

HUMOR ALERT!

I am wondering why we designed a set of class rules where you have flexability to use a # 1, #2 or # 3 upwind, but can only use a #3 sail down wind LOL :>)
