I can appreciate those who travel to Key West FL to race a J/30. If more J/30s showed up, we might sail in an OD class.
Can anyone tell me the benefit in terms of seconds per mile from the following:
(1) Optional Number 2
(2) Carbon Pole
(3) Kevlar #1
I think the issues are more price driven than speed. Over time, the optional #2 will save $$$, while carbon poles and Kevlar sails are within a couple $100 dollars in price compared to traditional solutions.
The proposed changes are good to attract some of the PHRF programs back towards OD. However, I am in agreement that we should take these changes a step at a time.
