Interesting but not really true. A planing hull loses its ability to plane without the spin and a J 30 is far less affected than a boat such as C&C 115 with a 200% masthead spin and max LP of 108% of J I do like the idea though. Single rating is so so much simpler. Also takes away the task of having to determine how much of the boat's speed is due to spinnaker and attempting to adjust. Base handicaps are far far easier to set than all of these adjustments. I like it!

Races are either spin or non-spin. I guess they assume that use of a chute benefits everyone equally.

Our boat has the same rating for spin and non-spin. For comparison, the J30 is rated at 141 here. When we sail with the spin fleet we have worked our way into the middle of the pack, which is about where I expect to be, based on our experience. The J30 keeps pace with us going upwind. We tend to do better going downwind. We do have some good local talent that we sail against, including a J30 national one-design champion. Most of our equipment is up to par, although both our .5 oz. and .75 oz. chutes are over 15 years old. They are in need of replacement, but still hold a pretty good shape. It's just the material is no longer as crisp as it once was. What we really like is the kick ass performance of the boat in the non-spin fleet. The boat is tough to beat in light air and we have plenty of that on the Chesapeake.

I've been invited to present our case with the owner of the only other 35-3 racing in the area. 35-3 owners (and others), what are your ratings (spinnaker) and how do they compare, and how are your results, against boats such as those below that we typically race against (I added a couple of other C&C's too)? The ECSA racing area (Long Island Sound) is predominantly light air.
