no ... that's not the idea ... the idea is to get more J30s at an NA other than 4 locations in the country.
Try this one:
Six races W/L Dacron on Fri./Sat.
One race "round the Island" whatever on Sunday.
or reverse with a round the island on Fri and W/L the rest of the regatta.
Or Try this one:
Two starts: class A and class B and two different first places with a match race of the two 1sts.
with the first NA of this kind up here in Narragansett Bay.
we have so many rules and structures facing a slowly diminishing fleet ... it would be good to be able to encompass more of the boats.
Phrf remains the dominant racing mode for j30s in most of the country. and participating in one or two OD races a season vs a dozen phrf races is the norm.
AND AS of YET NO ONE has really proven that the main sail material really makes a significant difference one on one.
or is there someone who has actually tested it out there?
