When setting the jib leads, bear away slowly while beating and watch the upper and lower leeward tell tales to see which one breaks (stalls) first. If the top stalls first, the lead needs to move aft for max power and proper twist. If the bottom stalls first, the lead needs to move forward. Using this technique allows the aerodynamics of the sail to determine the lead placement.

J24

The J/24 is no longer considered the most modern sailboat in its class, but it is still a very popular sailboat among keel boat racers. While some of the world's best J/24 sailors have the latest version J/24, a well-prepared 1977 model, built to the same shape and weight with rigid end-grained balsa core construction can still win sailing the class world championship even after 30,000+ miles of trailering. This is one of the many advantages of One-Design sailing that the J/24 is benefitting from. Another reason for its popularity is that it is fairly easy and inexpensive to get hold of a used boat due to the number of boats produced. There are 136 active fleets in the US alone, which offer a lot of race competition. This makes the J/24 a popular boat for beginners and experienced sailors.
