If there's no difference in speed between a class main and Kevlar (or other high tech materials), why spend the money on them?
If Planxty were to get carbon fibre headsail and main and beat everyone on the racecourse, wouldn't people think its the sails and feel the need to keep up?
Zephyr a year ago won the NAs not with some high tech 3DL thingy, but with a simple paneled mylar headsail.
I think the class would like to not turn this into an arms race, but keep the J/30 an affordable boat to sail.
