Jason:  How was the boat show?  I was hoping to make it down, but life (in the
form of various obligations) got in the way.  I have been to the Annapolis
sailboat show two or three times -- it's really great if the crowds don't get in
the way.  Lenny

Sorry guys but I have to take a minute to pound my chest.

We had a great race from Newport RI to Block Island last weekend.
22.2 nmiles in just under 3.5 hours. Finished 7th in a fleet of 35 That what you
can do with 18-25 knots winds on the beam the whole way out. It was a blast. And
it was the first time I got my wife to sail out to Block with me (two other crew
members)

Did you have to install longer battery cables or could you splice in longer
pieces?
I am considering moving my two batteries next spring, the boat is on the dry now
and it is getting cold here in southern ontario.
How much play is ok as far as you know in the Rudder?
Hanas.

Hanas,

The battery cables are shorter now, no need to splice. I'll get picture of my
batery box this week end.

I still have some play in the rudder but it isn't bad.

Hans: What do you mean by play in the rudder -- the shaft wobbling in the
bearing, or slack in the cables so that the wheel turns a bit before the rudder
starts to move?  The latter is easily corrected by taking up on the steering
cable turnbuckles accessible through the seat lockers, the former is, I gather,
a lot harder to fix. Lenny

Sorry for the late response to this thread, but I have just joined the
group.  I was having a similar issue when I bought my J/28 a couple of
years ago.  I replaced my original Martec folding prop with a new one
last year.  I was advised by Gary at Martec that the 14" pitch was too
much for my Yanmar and he recommended the 16 X 12 for a folding prop.  I
can now run the Yanmar up to 3400 or 3600 rpm and my J/28 will go 7.25
knots.   I don't cruise at this engine speed but it's good to have the
speed if I need to get out of the way of a ferry or tug boat.  Maybe the
16 X 10 would match up better with the hull speed of the boat.  The
Yanmar 2GM20 really likes to run at the higher RPM (3400 all day).  I
experienced some vibration as well, but when I push throught the engine
speeds, 2500 to 3000, it goes away.  I think there is some resonance in
the hull at these RPMs.  There are certain RPMs that the boat and motor
like.  I have found and set the throttle on them right away.  For
example when I first start the motor I set the enging speed to 1250 or
1300 RPM.  The motor smoothes right out.

Let me know how things work out.

Cheers, Marc

We are new to the group and have just about completed the process of moving from
a Colgate 26 (7 years) to a J28. The boat will be located on the Maine side of
the Maine/NH border in the Kittery/Portsmouth area. The reason for the upsizing?
There are just a few more luxuries on the J28 than the Colgate.

Are there any good sites or information around on how to setup the J28 for the
racing in the local PHRF fleet?

Has anyone outfitted their J28 with a masthead asymetrical?

Thanks,
Pat and Roy

Pat and Roy,

The upper shrouds on a J/28 attach to the mast just above the fractional fore
stay.  A mast head spinnaker would likely put too much lateral load on the upper
mast.  Look at the shrouds on a boat set up with a full rig (J/35).  The shrouds
on these boats go to the top of the mast.

Roy, I race my boat all summer and set the rig up almost to the tuning guides
for the j30 the two rigs are very similar and it feels pretty good. I fly a used
j30 spinaker.

What hull # did you buy?

I finally posted the pic's of my battery box moved to under the starboard sette.
I cut the cover board in half and epoxied the removable cover in place. If I
remember right the cables are about a ft shorter.
BTW I have two group 24 batterys if your batteries are bigger (gp 27's) this may
not work.

I would have guessed you bought Lenny's boat.

Moving the batteried was strictly for weight. These boat are stern heavy and I
was trying the get the weight forward. I don't miss the lost stoage under the
bunk and I use the storage were the batteries were so, I win.

BTW I tune to 90% of the J30 guide just because at the j30 numbers the rig seems
too tight. I can tell you I never have slack in the leward shrouds no matter
what the wind and the backstay adjustment is a great tool.

Lenny sold his boat?  Did something happen or did he move up to something else? 
If this is too nosy a question just ignore it but being a J-28 owner for 14
seasons now I can't imagine selling mine.

Does anyone have a copy of the J/28 owner's manual that could be scanned and
posted?

I didn't want to say anything until the sale was final, and that just happened
two days ago on the 25th.  Roy and Pat, who live in southern New Hampshire,
bought my J/28 and will be taking it a good ways down the Maine coast -- almost
to Massachusetts, as we Mainers say. They have already joined the forum, and I
wish them great sailing for many years to come.  I know that they won't be
disappointed in this boat.

And, yes, I now have a gorgeous J/40, which we have named "Watermusic." There
have been five previous boats by that name in the family, dating back to 1981.

The fact that I went for a J/40 is in fact a strong vote of confidence in the
J/28, as the boats were in production at the same time, are very similar in
design, with the main exception being the masthead rig on the J/40.  And, of
course, the J/40 is just a wee bit bigger ;-)

I honestly had no intention of moving to a larger boat so soon. I was just
beginning to look into serious cruising boats for my retirement in three to five
years when this beauty came on the market at an attractive price, and very
nearby in Camden, Maine. I only went to have a look -- no harm in that, right?
Then my wife only went to see the boat in order to appease me, as she was set
against doing anything so foolish quite so soon. After 10 minutes aboard, her
tune changed entirely, and within a few weeks, we owned it. You can see a couple
of photos at at the bottom of this web page:
http://members.dslextreme.com/users/sded/gallery.htm

So, there you have it. I will certainly keep lurking about on the J/28 forum and
put in a thing or two if it seems helpful. Jason Smith has kindly agreed to take
over as moderator, so if you have any complaints -- please direct them to him!

Best to all -- Lenny

In a nutshell, I am not completely sure. :-)

When J-boats first posted their J-28 page they stated that they had built 68 of
them.  Since I knew that was wrong (and since you have #69 you also know that
was wrong) I sent an email to J-boats to say that I owned hull 71 and that I had
previously spoken to Nan Hall at Hall Spars who said they had built 74 rigs for
the 28.  Neither Nan or Alan Johnstone could verify whether all the rigs went
into boats or not so, as Alan said, until somebody says they have a higher hull
number he was going to use 71 as the last one built.  Unless somebody else in
this forum pipes up to say they have a later number I guess I do have the last
one built.

I sail out of Marblehead, MA although the last four years have been extremely
quiet on the sailing front for me due to my four year old son and two year old
daughter.  I hope to do more next season since my son has now started to show a
real interest in sailing.

No, I never did scan the owner's manual.  Roy and Pat have my copy, which is
