# In brief, the San Juan 24 is allowed a maximum Jib size of 163% of the "J" measurement under the rule. Fresh sails and a clean, smooth bottom will work wonders in providing boatspeed. There are additional tweaks and rigging adjustments which can help, also. The SJ 24 performs best, according to her rating in winds between 5 and 10 knots. This is due to the narrow hull shape. The SJ 24 is required under the rules to race with a gas outboard rating a minimum of 4 bhp mounted on the transom while racing. It is also reqired to carry a minimum of 3 gallons of gasoline in an external tank. # Mast rake is adjusted by setting the length of the forestay and tension in the backstay. The babystay is used to create pre-bend in the mast. It is most essential to make certain the mast is rigged straight and centered side to side. Headstay tension and mast rake is managed using an adjustable backstay.
