Draft 2025 Rule Updates

[Travis Gregory]

This is a copy of the completed draft that the vote is circulating on now for you reference.

[Claudio Brasca]

Thanks Travis. Can you post a redlined version that shows the proposed changes?

[CJ LaCour]

Thanks Travis. Can you post a redlined version that shows the proposed changes?

This is the summary that was in the email from Emily Jones regarding the upcoming annual class meeting.

Summary of Updates:
•   The rules have been edited and updated many times over the last 30 years.  Class member Treez Decker labored to improve the consistency of the formatting and numbering.  Thus we are submitting the entire document for approval with this change and 3 other changes of note.  (Thank You Treez!)
•   Crew weight has not changed, but the process for a waiver using the forum was clarified for simplicity. (Article OD-II)
•   The Mast Rake language remains but is now a recommended reference.  It will not be measured at class events.  (OD-III 7.4)
•   Electric outboards now meet the requirements for having an outboard on the boat. (OD-VIII 2)

Thanks CJ.  These are the big changes. There are a number of formatting updates as well to update the document after years of one off edits. Those are not intended to change the rules at all. 

The ballot has been sent to active class members. If you did not receive it, contact the class secretary.
