^ Good thoughts.
One of my crew has an old San Juan 24 modified to carry an Asym and apparently it was a huge improvement, and those hulls are as IOR as they get. He also put a deeper keel on it though, so maybe that is the magic combo.
I have always thought that an increase to the J/30 ballast/displacement ratio would pay huge dividends or at least a deeper keel (maybe 6 foot?) Don can you stick a deeper, higher aspect keel on when you make the change and let us know how it goes?
