J24 Team Maximus 20+ Knts

Be sure to keep the stern lockers fastened. A J24 on its side will float with the companionway above the water. However, if you are getting dragged sideways by the chute you can create a big enough wave to put water down below. A badly times wave can put enough water into the boat to sink it.

Nice Wipe Out!

this video was awesome.... where in PR can I do that... Next weekend I will be sailing J24's in the NY Harbor

Watch the shoreline compared to the bow. The boat turned up wind and the skipper did not correct. The resulting broach was predictable. The error was very early on. Not saying I would have reacted so much better, but just something to learn from the video, to fine tune one's reactions.

You can see the problem at 4:14 when the Mastman made a mistake and stayed at windward when we were ready to jibe. He should have kept to the leeward side on the jibe to help steer. That with the fact that its blowing 22knts made us broach. In this kinds of winds there is no room for mistakes as you can see.

Love 'em!

They are a bit tricky cause the tend to get stuck but once your learn how to use them they become an asset.

i got some knockoffs thru one of the catalogs (Mauri Pro or APS). Was very difficult to set the angle on these so they worked well. If you want them try to contact Steve Lopez at the Raritan Yacht Club in NJ USA for the ones he makes. They are far superior.

Anyone have an opinion on the Lopez blocks? I've been thinking strapping some on my boat.
