J/30 Class Association Forums Active Threads

sorry no

Letting everyone know that for the first time in 5 years the J/30 Forum Software was updated to UBB Threads 8.0.0 on 3 September 2024. This includes a major software operating system update to PHP 8.3. The results should be a faster, more secure forum that should be a fully transparent upgrade to forum users.

Post here if there are any issues you find that need to be investigated.

I think you made a wonderful choice. Life safety should always be a high priority vs winning.

Regatta Organizing Authorities should not have raced in those conditions in my opinion.

Our J/30 loves sailing with a blade. In general, we do not race with sustained winds over 20 in the South.

Note: You may have had more control with a reefed main vs a blade. We also have a storm jib for winds puffing to 40. With winds like you experienced; I recommend a full crew at 7-8 sailors.
