Ah yes - buy a bigger boat! That thought has occurred to me more than once, but I can't seem to find a better boat for the money that offers the racing and cruising potential of the J30 - even though compromised on both scores. I will keep searching, but in the meantime I am stuck with messing around in an old boat.
Thanks for all the info you have shared and continue to provide - a truly valuable resource to this community.
