It turns out that some of our class stalwarts unroll their Dacron main once a year for Nationals. Otherwise they sail with a composite main anyway. If I can editorialize, does that make sense to require a special sail for Nationals?
This may refer to Bob Rude who sailed one J/30 NA, in 2000 when it was in nearby Barrington, RI and as
noted enjoys PHRF:
I have a class-legal, almost-new main rolled up and stored in my basement, and a full-batten, Pentax main on my boat at this time, so I can switch between them if I so choose.
Since the class currently has no restriction on Pentex® Bob might be surprised to find out both of his mainsails are class legal. Could this refer to Rhapsody's Vectron 'cruising' sail ?
