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!
