JAM vs Spinnaker racing
Moving up to Spinnaker racing was always my goal. It's a way to learn more
about sailing and racing and the ultimate test of ones skills and a way to
measure improvements. But it requires more hands, more crew and more crew
skills, more money, more tactical/sailing skill.
The boats winning JAM have new white $ails while the boats winning the spin
class have new black $ail$ for upwind and new colored $ail$ for downwind.
Plus, the competition among Spinnaker fleet seems a lot more aggressive at the
start and unforgiving.
I am for whatever gets people out sailing, using their boats more; racing,
cruising distances or just daysailing more, instead of the boats sitting idle
at the dock.
