J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Going offshore in a 30

We took Mondial offshore when we brought her to Newport for the 1997 NAs. I did most of the things Seth listed above. Then we took off most of the extra gear when we got to RI. It was a great trip overall. But without a doubt the worst conditions we saw were in the Delaware Bay with wind against current. It set up an immediate "square wave" chop of about 6-10 feet! Uggg...that was nasty.
