After receiving significant input from the class membership and after discussions with various sail makers and with
J/Boats the board of governors is proposing that the following revisions to the mainsail material be voted upon at the next Board of governors meeting which will be held at the North Americans in September 2011
The following is the wording as it will read
5.12.1.2 The spinnaker shall be manufactured from woven ply nylon
5.12.1.3 Sailcloth in the mainsail, #1, #2 and #3 Genoa is not restricted. This change in approved main sailcloth goes into effect no later than 1 May 2013. Individual
J30 Class Districts may adopt this change for local events at an earlier date.
5.12.2.1 The mainsail minimum bag weight (without battens) shall be not less than 13.6 kilograms (30 lbs).
