Glad to see that the thread is expanding. When I suggested a review along the lines of Healy's I really meant that we have a top down look at the class and the boat. I think one of the core questions has to do with PHRF and if there are modifications to the boat which would make the J/30 more competitive in PHRF while retaining an active OD interest. That seems to be what spawns much of the chat on the site. I'll bet that most of the OD racers out there do a fair bit of PHRF racing too. The one question I've not answered is if we were to navigate to PHRF specs, and the boats became more competitive, wouldn't the local PHRF committees simply lower the rating of the J/30?
