Class Weight Limit

The fleet voted not to change the weight limit. The Class weight limit will stay at its current 880lbs.

Before the vote, a majority of the owners discussed their points on the issue. A vote was called and resulted in holding the weight limit at the current 880. There were 3 votes for changing it. A motion was called and the fleet voted to not vote on a change in the current class weight limit for the next three years.  A motion was called and the fleet voted to maintain the same weight limit for both Long Distance and Buoy events.

 

Measurement

Report from the fleet measurers about standardizing an easier method to measure the life line tension.

Discussion followed and the measurers are going to investigate further. They seemed to think it would be in the range of 5"-7" from the deck under firm pressure would be the likely recommendation.
