Bill Wallace has had some remarkable experiences going offshore in his J/30 (including the '79 Fastnet). I'm now on the Gulf with some opportunities for racing to Mexico, a distance of about 500-650 miles.
Have any of you taken your 30 off on extended races? What about the Newport or Marion/Bermuda?
What would you do to set up the boat for long races like this?
