It is just bigger. You will probably need an additional person (we use 5 on the 30 and 4 on the 24). An adjustable spin track on the mast would be useful. The inner stay can be made to be easily disconnected. If the boat doesn't have a pole, track, extra winches, then you could consider one of those deck mounted extendable poles and fly an asymmetrical chute. It is interesting....the PHRF for a 29 is most likely higher numerically than the J-24. Around here, the 24 is 171 and a 29 is around 180. But, it is a lot more cruising friendly and powerful.
