J/125s Are AWESOME

Any idea on Reinrag’s story?

I will just say someone called them on their rating issues. You and I got into this before.

What were the rating issues?

Maybe some transparency? Or will that all rectify itself before the Transpac...

My understanding is they will be remeasured before Transpac. So to that degree there will be transparency on what they actually are. Both Argo4 and us were remeasured this year .

So long as they don't move those stores during the race it's not indication of any kind of malfeasance.

Transpac is notoriously a starboard tack race to the point it has rules about how much a boat can list to starboard at the start IIRC. Would you not plan to stow your drinking water to Starboard before the start in any base case?

Yes. I thought that was normal and fully within the rules. For Pac Cup, at least. I don't know what the Transpac rules are.

There are even specific details in the rules. You can stack stuff to one side, but you can't use sails to offset that for the 2 degree limit.

3.36 Boom Support A boat over 30' LOA (9.14m) shall have a means to prevent the boom from dropping if support from the mainsail or halyard fails.

Just to pick one thing from the video that is outside the SER's

Pretty obvious yellow topping lift on the stbd side of the main, but sure.....

Going to be some very interesting J-125 watching this year.
