DK Bolt/stiffener on anchor roller channel for spinnaker tack line block mount (existing channel deformed under load). GPS plotter swing mount in nav station area to allow use while seated on port settee.

Describe your most memorable J/32 voyage.
45nm spinnaker (asymmetrical run on Lake Ontario. Wind speed 14-18 knots true, wind angle 145-155 true, waves 3-4’ following), boat speed 6.8-9.4 knots. Second leg was a beat in fairly flat water, with wind speed at 12-15 knots. "Horizoned" a Catalina 36’ and passed a C&C 38’ with us using a 100% jib. During the spinnaker run, boat was very stable allowing autopilot steering, while we sun bathed on the comfortable cockpit cushions with our cat.

Please share any add’l J/32 experiences.
13 day cruise with combination of adventuring out and visiting various ports. Cooked most meals onboard. Never felt cramped in V berth or main cabin.

What are your future sailing plans with the J/32?
Various short cruises the remainder of this season, with a two to three week cruise next season.
