J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment What Sails are Fast & Last Long?

I generally encourage people to buy from and work with a local sailmaker to help get the most out of the sails. Plenty of those in Newport. If they won't come do 2-3 races per new sail find someone else. If you don't have a local sailmaker, Zephyr's looked good on them, but keep in mind they have a crack crew to make them go. Of the two Annapolis boats Big K used UK main/chute with Quantum #1/#3. Bebop is all UK. Would have been ince to have a Kevlar #2 on Friday. We were happy with our speed in light and heavy, just not too smart tactically Saturday.
