J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Smack Action Video: Vee Jay vs Irene

So OK .... Just a simple tropical storm ... about 1.5 m over open water from King Park. 500 lb mushroom, city required amount of both heavy and light chain to ball. Wind S ~50 or so with gusts above.

I guess this is why we don't ride out storms at anchor in a small boat. This is 8th hurricane for a Vee Jay in Newport without damage.
