I stumbled on a local (vancouver) post for an SJ24. I don't know anything about it beyond what is in the add. Luckly my SJ24 isn't in need of any parts. ...

Hi Barry, Still around, but not too active lately since Brushfire's been out of the water these past couple of years. I'll try to remember to check back in...
Barry, I took a look at my sketch and there are a couple of things I can clarify: 1. The vertical measurements are from the trailer frame to the center of the...
The best sail I have found for light breezes is the "gennnaker" - which is a cross between a genoa and a spinnaker, and requires no spinnaker pole. It attaches...
163% mylar genoa is amazing in light air. With crew on leeward side for a little angle to hold the shape, we've passed a J24 and an ultimate 20 our last few...
Many people use a 163% Genoa in the light stuff, I have a 155% that I use in up to about 15kts. The racers in the NW may have better info. Happy Sailing. ...
Mitch, Before I had a 155% roller furler sail I'd use my 170% in light air. Probably depends somewhat on how heavy the material is--some large sails of heavy...
Our 163 is faster than our 170 because it is heavier material, it holds its shape and doesn't collapse between puffs. ... Probably depends somewhat on how...

I presume you talking about going to windward. If you want to be race legal the best light wind sail head sail is a 163. If you do not care about racing the...
A well built 170 will outperform a 163 going to windward any time in wind under 10kt. That is why they are illegal for racing. Snappy does pretty well with a...
On our SJ24 we use a 1.5oz dynac 170 on the zero to 8 mph days (ie light summer days) this sail is very fast for these winds but must come down as the breeze...
Our race committee's here on the Oregon coast no nothing about a penalty for using the 170 for PHRF racing, they raise eyebrows when I question them about it...
I race "Driftwood" with a 164% North. Fantastic sail! I take a .9 reduction in Portsmouth but its well worth it.Boat takes off in lite air with it. Bryan ... ...
I bought a 170% off of E-bay and it looked good, but didnt even perform close to my 163%. 163% works great in lite air. Sailfish ... From: beach_bum_97367...
IF your PHRF rater do not give you a penalty for carrying a 170 he just does not know much about rating sailboats. By the way what is your rating? In Seattle...
