NOTICE OF MOTION:
1) Moved: “-that the following be added to Class Rule 11.2.b: ‘The outer edge of the clew shall not pass beyond the inner edge of the coloured band when sail is set.’
(Moved – Kevin Holland. Seconded – John Elliott)
This is a simple tidy-up rule: Kevin noticed that in the mast rules it is stated that the sail must not go above or below the inner edge of the upper or lower coloured bands. For the boom, the position of the band was specified, but there was actually nothing to prohibit the sail being pulled out beyond the inner edge of that band. The rule has always been imposed by implication from the mast rule, but we think that a specific rule is better than an implied one.
2) Moved – by Benny Butcher, seconded by Kevin Holland;
“that the Class Rules regarding sail and rig be altered as follows-
Add to 10.b
The bottom of the tack of the sail shall not extend below the top edge of the boom (including track) or its extension.
add to 11.b
The aft side of the clew may not extend past the inner edge of the boom when the sail and boom are in sailing position.
