I don't think I could ever get a crew to commit to the Swiftsure Bank on a J/30. That is just punishment!

100-110? Do you really think you can sail to that? I still think our hull shape is the big limiting factor here. I just can't see the J/30 hull breaking free of it's bow wave without some really big waves. In that rating territory you are competing with boats with either a lot more waterline, or they get up and dance on the table with the slightest puff (O30s).

What about just swapping in a J/29 MH rig? Or finding another MH rig of similar dimensions? Then you can save your J/30 rig to swap in for OD events when we get them going wink
