J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum Racing Tools and Techniques JWORLD

Taras - I personally prefer that method, and want my foredeck to use it because it minimizes people going forward and doesn't require multiple people to adjust topping lift and foreguy before the set.

However - If I have someone who is used to the traditional method, and doesn't like the J World approach, I'll defer to the FU on the front end of the boat and just stay back in Fantasyland at the helm. Those experienced on my crew know just to tell me to shut-up and drive....

Matt's good people - many years ago he crewed on Rhapsody. He was at J World when I took the course both in Newport and Key West.

ps - where did you end up partying ( I mean staying....)
