guess a Farr 40 is not a proper racer.


Shame on you for comparing your sad 20K boat to a Farr 40. The only
wheel steered boat I'd own now is a R&P design which doesn't rely on
cables. Such wheel systems preserve rudder feel.
Loco, you're boat is just plain sad. Why not get a C&C 34R? That boat
can get out it's own way at least.

Hey Boob, J Boat lover. If you knew anything you would know that J
Boats are considered by most people who like to sail fast and
professionals like sailmakers as pigs. There is a saying among the
knowledgeable: "The only thing a J Boat can beat is another J Boat" J
Boat calls their 105 a sport boat. Hell, it's a heavy pig that is
sailed by idiots who spend most of their time crashing into each other.
Real sport boat owners consider the boat and the class a joke. But
your the guy who once posted that you were "looking for some J Boat
excitement" That statement alone continues to prove you know nothing
about boats and that you would fit right in as a J Boat owner.

More J30 facts: Lack of sail area, slow upwind in light air. Can't go
upwind in a chop. So many owners were upset with performance that the
class went with an oversized genny (163%) compared to every other boat
that races outside the Matrix. That tiller that the Boob loves so much
is connected to a barn door rudder that gives you the feeling your
driving a bus. And in a breeze you need to be a gorrilla to drive the
thing. Gee the Express 30 is a quickie upwind in light air (with an
oven on board) and the designer had the foresight and brains to design
a proper semi-balanced rudder. Oh, and if you didn't like the wheel
you could have bought the boat with a tiller. In fact the boat is
easly converted back to tiller once the wheel is installed.

We sail a J30 on a regular basis. My wife and the girls have NO problem
with the tiller even in fresh conditions. My advice to you is to
actually get some experience on the J30 for more than a few rides and
learn to trim a sail for proper balance! The J/30 balances like a champ
once trimmed/reefed early in heavier stuff. You also might want to get
in shape. If Suzanne can handle the tiller, you obviously have a
problem with conditioning.
Who said my new boat has a wheel? Hmmmmm?
Poor Loco! You're about to be one unhappy fellow...not that you're
happy now!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahha!

Open mouth insert foot. I have plenty of J30 hours. I used to crew on
a J30 that was always in the top 3 in the very competitive and large
Annapolis fleet. Your the one who MAYBE went for a few rides.

Sorry to break it to you, but I've been sailing a J30 for almost 10
years, going out almost every summer on her, mostly on evening sails.
This year we didn't because she was storm damaged after her mooring
dragged. The fact that you don't know how to balance a J/30 and get it
in the groove is either a lie or simply inability to trim. The J/30
tiller is not tough unless you're overcanvassed or badly trimmed. Claim
what you like, but you've tipped your hand once again.
Sucker!

Bull****. I guess your women are much stronger than the women who owns
and races a J30 in Annapolis. She petitioned the class requesting that
they allow her to have her rudder modified to turn it into a semi
balanced rudder so she could take some of the load off in big breezes.
The J30 tiller is a bitch in a breeze and everybody knows it.

Probably. Suzanne trains and had a flat belly back only 8 weeks after
having thomas and my friend who races the 30 and used to race her 24
does triathalons. Like me, these girls keep strong. They could kick
your ass with ease. I have no doubt that Suzanne would beat the crap
out of you as you sound like a total weenie. I know your type from my
days as a bouncer.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!! Good lord! You're boat rates as BARELY faster
(and it won't beat a J30 boat for boat anyway), BUT it's fun and the
J-isn't? Ohhhhh, okay! Never heard a real racer call another race boat
a "pig." they tend to have a mature view of boats and appreciate what
J-baot has done for sailboat racing with designs like the J24.
Loco, you're a sad little man who THINKS he knows about boats, but in
truth you only have some weak opinions and an VERY old design easily
eclipsed by better boats.

Anybody see the lack of understanding that's displayed here.
