Last year was the first time in the 8 years I've done the doublehanded Farallones race that the class disallowed shykites. It had always been agreed upon that outside the gate we could sail with anything allowable under PHRF, i.e. shykites, reachers, etc. This arrangement was supposed to have been written into the rules. I plan on going this year and ,would like to race with the class and bring all my ocean equipment.
