J-80: Kerry's Boat Page 2

The next things we covered were rigging changes or additions. Class Rules, tuning, and safety gear. I have to say there is a lot to cover with the purchase of a new boat. I started by looking up the class rules. The rules were easy to get off the class website. By the way, it is a great thing to get the advise of someone who has been through putting a boat together. They can save you a lot of time and expense.

With the start of this project I made a list of things I would need and the expense of everything involved. I have to admit that the boat accessories and additions are more expensive than I originally estimated.
