Subject: Farallones Rules Exception!!!
Info: (20710 views) Posted: Wednesday 4-4-07 07:45:21 PM
Mark- I have no problem with the addition of the specialty sails for distance races only. I would suggest including a spinnaker staysail to the proposed inventory however. Also, I will be racing this weekend, and would suggest that at such short notice to change the rules does not give all of us time to acuire / barrow the additional sails.

:: SF Express Sailors --
::
:: It has been requested that we relax the express class
:: sail inventory rules for those competing in the
:: double-handed farallones race. The proposal is that for
:: this race only, boats may carry and set at their
:: discretion: shy-kites, reaching kites, and blast
:: reachers.
::
:: If anyone planning on doing this race does not have
:: access to these sails and feels that they will be at a
:: material disadvantage because of not having access to
:: these sails for this race, and they post a message on
:: this site explaining this position, this exception to
:: the class rules will not apply, and the sail inventory
:: will be limited by the current class rules. The
:: objection posting to the farrallones event space must be
:: posted no later than 5:00 PM Thursday 4/5. I will issue
:: a final ruling on the sail inventory no later than noon
:: on Friday 5/5.
::
:: We are currently discussing amending the class rules to
:: allow the use of specialty sails for long-distance ocean
:: races. We will try to get these changes made and
:: ratified within the next couple of weeks. Stay-tuned.
