Guys- great work on the site. It's vastly improved. I have a fair bit of professional experience with social media and how to leverage it to build vibrant communities incl. free tools for live podcasts/chats, etc. So, if I can be of help of offer access to some of these tools to conribute to the community, let me know.

thanks, Jeff

Jeff - you and Dave Erwin need to connect. Dave's a professional CIO and knows the technology. I'm just a hacker. Dave's got a major system upgrade going on this week so has been ignoring us. Once he reads this, I'm sure he'll contact you.

Al - I'll make sure all the Yanmar links are added to the J/30 web site so we don't loose the information.

Can somebody else who has IE7 look at the page that Al references in his post above and let me know if you have problems? I can't recreate it. I have a PC at home with IE8.0 that I'll try tonight.

Al reported a wrapping problem on the J/30 Crew Assignment page with IE7.0 - I was able to reproduce the problem with IE8.0 at home. This has been fixed.

I also added all the Yanmar links to the Diesel Engine Maintenance page under the "Articles of Interest" menu on the J/30 Class Website.

There's a bunch of old pictures on both the j30.org and j30.us server, some dating back to the 1980s. We didn't want these to fall into digital exile, so have installed a photo gallery application that allows people to browse the images. The photo gallery is available from the menu off the J/30 Class Association website by selecting Photos.

Here's the challenge....

Don't let history get lost. If you see some photo(s) that bring back memories, please post your story on The Smack section of the forum with a link to the photo(s).

We've added a new page and menu item to the class website. Look on the main menu under "Class" and you'll see a new entry for "History". Currently this lists all of the past J/30 Class Association presidents. Over time we'll develop some text to better document the history of the J/30 Class.

Thanks to Bob Rutsch for the history update!

Tom Babbitt, the J/30 Class Association Past President (1982-1983) provides some great memories from the early days of the J/30 Class. His story is on the front page of our class blog, and permanently stored on the Class History Page.

Thanks to Phil Heldrich who mailed me the North Sails J/30 Quick Tuning Guide V1.0, I have added it to the class website with the other tuning guides. It is available at the J/30 Rig Tuning page. On the main menu for the class website, mouse over "Info" then "Articles of Interest" and click on "J/30 Rig Tuning"

The full North guide online (http://j30.us/blog/?page_id=328#North) has a bunch of blanks (its the same on the .doc download).

It says things like: "At this point your mast should be set up with __- __" of prebend in the mast"

Anyone have the missing values for these blanks?

Thanks - Dan

We've added a new page and menu item to the class website. Look on the main menu under "Info" and you'll see a new entry for "J/30 Drawings and Files". This collects many of the useful files people have uploaded on the forum and puts them in one place.

If you find another file or have one that you think should be uploaded, please click on the link in that page to notify us. This may include reference to a file that exists already on the website, but may be more convenient to include in the list.

Here is the direct link to the J/30 Drawings and Files page
