[quote=dmgbear55]It is a J30 hull #281. Not quite as old as my Nacra, but close. I decided that if I was going to slow down on a monohull I should make the adjustment as painless as possible. This boat has a reputation for being pretty fast for a monohull. It is about smiles per mile and hopefully once a very long list of fixes and upgrades are done I can stop the sweating part and do some smiling. Working on the Nacra last summer made me realize that it is not about the age of the boat, it is about the features of the boat design. The 5.2 has many of the things I like to see in a cat, it is fast, it is a pretty simple and effective rig, it looks fantastic, sails extremely well and every now and then it literally throws me for a loop.
