“Thought it would be good to inform you that we entered our J/35 RAGAZZA in last year’s 2013 RORC Fastnet Race. The old girl is still going strong, we managed a 7th place in the 83 boat strong class 4! Please find attached a picture of RAGAZZA when beating out of the Solent last August. Love this boat! Thank you for any advice on polars, tuning and sail trim! Cheers, Jan”
