Haven't sailed the 30 offshore - just bigger boats. But a few thoughts - good first aid kit, ditch bag, life raft, check fuel tank for water/dirt, maybe tape seams on hatches to seal 'em up. All the usual safety stuff (plugs, rigging cutter, buckets, strobes, harnesses, etc.), lee clothes (I use truck-bed webbing on my 30). "Heavy flying objects" secure?(engine cover, batteries, bilge floorboard, anchor, etc). Cockpit lockers secure? Hatchboards tethered? Race sounds like a lot of fun.
