J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment wow ... what I was missin over the long winter

Thor,

Splashed last Thursday and am sailing Rhaposdy from the yard in Fall River to Newport on Saturday. I'll be in the slip before 1 May - a new record. While still in Fall River, Neil Thurston is installing my new dodger. I'll get pictures this weekend and post them in the other thread that was started.

Question - in your pictures I see white things bolted on your stanchions about half way up. Are these for hanging bumpers or what??? Also - I saw you have your instruments mounted on wood backing plates. Looks like a nice way to transition to newer / different instruments that may have smaller mounting diameters for holes already punched out. Is that what you did?

Comments - 2 decimal places for boat speed! Let me know how well you can tune for that 1/100th of a kt...

I've seen pictures of you, and now nice pictures of your 1st mate. I hope your kids pick up their looks from their mother. :-)
