I think the class should consider expanding the allowable sails to include a light #1 jib and a 1/2 oz. chute, but restrict purchases to one headsail and one chute per year. This would prevent an arms race but allow boats to be more competitive in PHRF fleets, without an adverse rating impact. We should not forget that the majority of J-30's race primarily PHRF, and all owners share an interest in the success and viability of both the One Design fleet and boats racing PHRF.
