I use the North Sails tuning guide for the J/120. See attachment - hope it comes through. Bernie Bernie Coyne Market Manager Change & Configuration Management...
Depending on how much you want to tune the rig for light vs. heavier conditions, you can select a day in between your normal light and heavy and go out as you...
Any thoughts on a preferred radar pole for the J42? I'm replacing my backstay mounted radar. I've looked at the Kato website and see theirs is stainless steel....
Hi Dick: I too am looking at installing a radar pole. I think Edson may have a kit. There is also a DIY project performed by Tom Keffer on his J/42 Velocity....
I installed the Edison pole which is alum. At first I thought about it being deck mounted and braced to the push pit. However that did not work well so it is...
If you want to get weight off the transom I strongly recommend a carbon fibre mast/pole. We did it with great results--I probably have a photo somewhere if you...
Thanks Bernie, I like Tom's project. I'm doing a new Raymarine E120 and radar install myself, so I could include the pole project too. I'm checking with Redman...
I am wondering what others have done for an emergency rudder. I'm doing the Oregon Offshore next month, a PIYA Category 1 race, and will need one. In the past,...

Tom - I prepared an emergency rudder sweep using a berth board from the aft cabin (aft middle under cockpit sole). In it I drilled holes to match 2 sets each...
Robert, I'd love to see your pictures, they did not come through, or at least I could not open them. Tom what we did on Affinity was put two lines on a drogue....
We have used the same technique on our boat as Tony describes below. It's simple, works and passes race inspections :-) Bernie Bernie Coyne Market Manager ...
HI Bernie, A question for you or anyone who may be able to shed some light on the subject: Coming from a J/24 I’ve long looked for a tuning guide for the 42....
Thanks, Tony In our inspection, the safety officer explicitly rejected the idea of a drogue. He does not believe it will get you off a lee shore (which most of...
May I squeeze in one more question? Is this for an aluminum mast? My mast has way more than 1" of prebend, even with the backstay completely off. More like...
Mine is CF and I find I have about 6 to 8” or more at my ‘normal’ base which is also why I’m asking. When I first bought the boat I was in Stonington...
Can anyone tell me where the base should be located fore and aft. Mine is in the middle of it's range and the mast seems to have about the correct amount of...
Bill, I’m the one who mentioned Rod. Yes there would be more rake. The telephone pole idea was not meant to imply it is perpendicular, but raked and...
Greetings All, I have a J/46 table in the salon of my J/42 and am considering stowing a portable electric freezer under it, well secured. Away from my boat I ...
Tom, We did a lot of searching around and finally decided to use the SOS rudder we purchased for another race boat for Hawaii. We installed and tested it to...
Greetings, I am trying to determine if a spool of stern tie line will fit through the lazarette deck opening in my J/42. By Lazarette I mean the locker just...
It's 14" (fore & aft) x 20" wide at the aft end (it's 22.5" wide at the forward end). <br /><br />Shane Creamer<br />Baruna<br />J/42 # 30<br /><br />Sent...
We are thinking about using the locker in the starboard berth as a pantry but it is very tight. Soooo we are thinking about using hanging pockets (like a...
Clarification --- this will be our dry goods pantry (canisters for flour, sugar, rice, pasta, etc.) Obviously, there is no door nor shelves in that locker. ...
We used the cabinets on the port side main cabin for light weight dry packaged foods and light weight plastic empty storage containers for later left over food...
We added cloth shoe racks to the left of that locker floor to ceiling for addtional storage. Bolt rope on top, snaps on bottom. Scott Tiki J #33 From:...

Tom, In our recent race to Hawaii, a boat made it the last 1/2 way there on a drogue. Both Rudders failed on a brand new boat. "California Condor". ...
