Hello,
I have the older style pintle attachment for my rudder. The attachment are in fantastic condition as is the rest of the boat. I've been sourcing the parts to do the rudder strap/gudgeon/pin update. Reading the class rules it says that 2 upper and lower gudgeons are required? Does this mean the old pintle system is no longer permitted for in class racing? I only ask because I plan to do the upgrade in Fall 2021 so I don't miss the sailing season with this new (to me) J24. If the old system is in fact no longer permitted then I won't bother entering class races until the following season.
