Himachi has at least one pro in Matt Pistay and Ruffless has Skip navigating. THey are both pro's and were paid on the boats I raced with them on so I would assume they were paid on these as well but maybe not...

No offense to Ronnie but "According to Ronnie Simpson Rufless sailed with the declared sails. If the protest was heard it would have likely been dismissed." What they dropped out because they knew they were right? What just didn't want that class win on their record. Wanted to be infamous...

I would guess it was penalty sail such as a tweener. I don't see anyway you can look at a sail like a kite and have enough confidence in the sq footage to file a protest. A penalty sail is pretty obvious if you are close enough to see the mid girth then you check their J is it 14 or 23. A...

I remember one time many many moons ago J-Bird was DQ'ed from a Transpac win for not having thier storm jib. Could have sworn somebody put it on the boat but it wasn't there. Caught cheating or stupid mistake will we hear the story... does it matter?

I am not anonymous I have never hidden who I am it would take 2 minutes. I know some poeple on the other boats as do you but no not personal. I did talk to them about it after Transpac. That statement was part of a larger post about another boat but this is a class wide problem I see your...

The express 37 Limitless is without a Navigator. Got a call the Sunday before a Tuesday start but couldn't just take off anf to be honest the forecast didn't look great to do it on a 37. We should see the other J125's start moving on Ruffless as they should be in running conditions and...
