Trim to the tracks on the cabin top, running the sheets inside the stays. If you are in very heavy air (over 30 knots) I recommend barber hauling the jib clew...
When I bought my boat it was cabin top, but it backwinded the main badly. So I moved the tracks to the deck and like the extra speed I get. Jerry ... From:...
We were probably one of the first to put tracks inboard on the deck. Where we sail at 15+ we can count on a really nasty short chop. (20 miles of open water...
I replaced mine with 2 speed Lewmars not sure of the model number. Nice thing about the2 sp for halyards is adding a bit of tension while going up wind. Not...
Express 27 @ 152? Sell the J and buy one. We are about 3 seconds faster according to our local ratings ... __________________________________________________ ...
This really gets to the heart of the PHRF matter. In noble efforts to tweak what we all know to be an imperfect system, different ruling bodies have adopted...
Has anyone ever heard of this place. It looks like they have about 6 or 7 J27s, hull #s in the 170s I think. It would be neat to trailer there to race for a...
How do you keep the main from backwinding?? There is almost no slot with that configuration. Thanks for the response. Eric ... stays. If you are in very heavy...
You should only be using the blade above 22 knots (assuming you have a full crew to hold the boat flat) Much of that time (upwind) even with 1100 lbs of rail...

I think this database shows exactly what I am talking about, that PHRF- NW rates the SC27 and Express27 softly compared to other similarly sized boats. After...
Nice video !! Sounds like you had a great race and there is no doubt that to have a spread much different from what we have in SoCal is ridiculous. Sorry to...
You'd think that putting a Melges 24 carbon mast and boom in an Express27 would change its rating more than 6 seconds, but thats what PHRFNW decided. To give...
