This month issue has a nice picture of the J/30 Blue Noose racing in the Heineken Regatta. Nice motivation for those of us in the rebuilding process.

John,

J/30 Blue Noose is not one we've got in the class database. What periodical or website did you see this. Is there a name and or sail number associated with the boat that I can track down?

Thanks,
Bill

I saw it in Sailing. Two page picture. I will check for a sail number and make sure I got the name right when I get home.

The Blue Peter, St. Maarten Heineken Regatta in March. no sail number shown

Thanks John - That's Tanner Jones with sail number ANT 227 from Antigua. Just a little warmer there than where you've been doing the restoration work.

Tanner Jones here. wondering what picture you guys are talking about?

John - if you still have the magazine, can you scan the picture of Blue Peter and post it here for Tanner to see?

That would be awsome. What magazine was it in? here is a link to another good photo of j30 racing in heineken. click on the link go half way down the page in the middle. heineken

Tanner is that your boat? Great picture.

While we're on the topic of racing pictures, I noticed a picture of a J30 in the Annapolis Book of Seamanship (Third revised edition,1999). It is on page 141 and the picture represents a sailboat tackling force 6 winds. The sail number for the boat is 35234. Does anyone know whose boat this is or the story behind it?
