I am not convinced by this change. While it is beneficial for distance racing I feel it will encourage boats to add reaching kites to the one-design inventory.

Re: In Hauler Systems
I think we should make this change - it is relatively inexpensive and will be simpler than using the lazy sheet. A further benefit is that it will save wear on the mast boot.

Re: Batten getting caught on backstay in light air
A soft top batten helps with this light airs but I still frequently have to flick the backstay.

Re: Is adding a Cam Cleat on Mast allowed?
It is not legal to add a cleat to the mast. The J109 rules only allow hardware to be added in specific circumstances.
If you want to put a cleat on the mast for use during handicap racing this must be rendered inoperable when used for class racing.

The J109's will have a one design start at the Blue Water regatta on 12-13 August. Saturday first start will be a t 14:00 which should give us a decent sea breeze. It would be great if a few boats from LIS could make it down the East River to the Jersey shore. More info is at http://www.ahyc.net/bwr...

I think it is better to run the primary jib and main halyards to port so that the pit person is doing all the mark rounding work to starboard. I know we are one design - it was essential to m y purchasing the boat - but I would like the class rules changed to allow either doubled jammers or a cleat....

Racing this weekend we noticed the main halyard would slip by an inch in the clutch. Clutch and halyard are standard and rigged to port so we can't leave both halyards on the winches and I don't want to change this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how have they fixed it ? Is doubling up t...
