J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum One Design Class Rules Comment Here - Draft Potential Rule Changes for 2009

As for Rule 5.12.6.1
I disagree with it whole heartly, these sort of changes are what have killed other classes in the past. As John said the cost of a new chute will be increased, we will all need to buy a a 30 gram chute to stay competitive and also, the 30 gram cloth is far more fragile not only over the wind range but from a sail handling point of view.

My two cents.
