Hi,
So we are a new owner, and we have never sailed our boat or any J30 for that matter. But, we did own a J29 MH about 10 years back. It was a machine. I have high hopes for the 30 plus all the creature comforts that come with it. The 30 should be a great boat for us now that we have a family and the boat is going to be something more than a place just to keep beer.
We are going to race w/ the 163 and the penalty pole. I guess the 29 Frac has a penalty pole, but I'm pretty sure it races w/ a 155. We have 2 of them in our club.
I know we add about 1,000 pounds to the J30, but other than the weight is there any significant differences between the 30 and the 29 frac?
The PHRF difference is pretty significant. The 29 frac will owe us 18 sec per mile. I feel pretty good about that.
Anyone want to give me some anecdotal feedback.
I'm kinda starved for racing info and stories....
Thanks,
Chris
