The one I sail has the fractional.
Her owner likes her because she's lighter by far..half a ton in fact.
It shows when we tack with the 30 which is slower to accelerate. He
also likes getting the motor off the back...can't do that with a 30.
.

What does any of this have to do with my comments regarding the J29
frac vs masthead. I guess a J29 would out accelerate a J30. It weighs
much less due to less freeboard and no interior. The hull and keel are
the same.
