(New Orleans, LA)- Dave Irwin from the J/30 USA National Class
Association put together a great "map" of all J/30 owners from around
the USA. When you open this map what strikes you the most is how
diverse and dispersed the J/30 owner group has become over time. Quite
literally, J/30 owners are spread all over the map, from Hawaii to the
Caribbean and from Mexico north to Alaska and all points in between on
the old compass rose! Very cool use of geographical information systems
to help bring J/30 owners together-- if not in sailing, then in
traveling as everyone moves around the country visiting friends or on
business! Other classes should do the same-- helps create the "virtual
bar" to meet others and catch-up, trade war stories, trade ways in which
to maintain the boats and keep them in great shape, too.Check out the J/30 owners sailing locations on Google Maps.
