Swabbie, you have to sail one design to be

Bart, I really do agree with that. That said, a J29 Frac with OB vs. a
J27 is a pretty close match as far as the hulls go.

No. Not EVEN close. They might look similar, but looks are about as far as
it goes.

My point is that, beyond developing some skills on ones own tub, PHRF
racing is NOT real racing and that's all Sloco can really do because
he doesn't own a J35 or J24.

Dut you don't race. Yes, we know, they let you come and sit on their boats
in races, but you aren't racing. Think about it. With your mass, they're
using you for moveable ballast. Especially on J-boats. Moveable ballast is
very important.
