Potential Jib Sail Material Rule Change

[Travis Gregory]

Class members,

At the class meeting on November 4th  we will discuss the proposal to change the jib sail material restriction.  Our intent Wednesday is to discuss the attached rule change and provide perspectives from several sailmakers who will join our meeting to share their experiences and answer questions.

Following the meeting a ballot will be issued to the class for a vote on the proposal per the class rules.

Feel free to post any questions you may have in advance here. We will do our best to attempt to answer them on the 4th.

Thanks

Thanks for all the effort that went into to researching this proposal. However I feel that the simplicity is the key to the popularity and longevity of the class. This change would dilute the strict standards the class has enjoyed. I don’t feel it will make the racing and sailing the boat any better.

Thanks
Mark Allen
