The J/109 Class Association Forum

Hello fellow J/109 sailors. I have questions regarding staysails and when to use them on the J/109. This is PHRF racing, not one design.

My boat came with both, the Genoa staysail and a staysail on a furler. My questions are when do I use these sails? WHen do I use the Genoa staysail instead of the ...

While following a Yanmar thread on a different site, the discussion was regarding transmission position while saiilng. I am under the impression that it should be in reverse (engine off) while sailing. I have the Yanmar 3YM30 and I am pretty sure I read this in the manual or the kanzaki manual ...

Matt, circling back as I am finishing these now before lauch comes in 5-6 weeks....

Did you convert your liquor top to a bottle holder or can holder?

Matt Thanks Again for the great photos. I also like the tip on Epithanes and have some coming.

Matt, sorry, the spare I have is a 22mm car... I think this is what Harken replaced ours with: T2742B.HL

Try calling them. They still show a similar block on the windward sheeting H1635. Maybe they can make up a run of them.

I will also look to see, I thought I had an extra car.

Wow, great photos and measurements. This will help a lot! thanks Matt.

Sorry for the second note. My boat is a USA Built boat.

They have trucked quite a few J/109's around the country and have a special trailer that keeps the boat low, I didnt have to remove anything, but I did need to loosen the guard ...

Hi Pete, I have a UK sailmakers 120 SQ/M kite. It looks to be in great shape, the past owner said they did not use it much and then they switched to Evolution sails.

send me a email chris.p@awardandsports.com

we are not using it, we have so many spinnakers... this is from the old Goat Rodeo.

Thanks Todd, that is great info and very helpful! The hinge is Perko, hard to find the 6 hole version but they sell a 4 holes version with a removeable pin which solved my problem. The table hardware I will pick up with your suggestion this week.

Good afternoon gang. I know most of you remove your table and doors to make racing easier. I on the other hand am putting the table and doors back in. However, there is no hardware that I can find in the boat or with the stuff that came with the boat. I am hoping this group can help me out.

What is ...

Congrats on the boat!
