Voting on Rule Change Proposals - The Results are In

The result of the voting in the ballot of members is that all 4 rule change proposals have been agreed.

Proposal 1 - agreed with 52 votes in favour, 0 votes against and 0 abstentions. This means that tapered masts will be allowed - but only tapered versions of the mast sections allowed in the class rules.

Proposal 2 - agreed with 52 votes in favour, 0 votes against and 0 abstentions. This means that the Super Spars M9 will be added to our list of permitted mast sections. 

Proposal 3 - agreed with 49 votes in favour, 1 vote against and 2 abstentions. This means that masts may be fitted with short internal sleeves or external collars in the deck gate / kicker attachment area. (This tidies up our class rules as many masts already have sleeves or collars!)

Proposal 4 - agreed with 47 votes in favour, 1 vote against and 3 abstentions.This means that we won't have a defined position for the kicker attachment on the boom, thereby making it possible to use webbing or ropes to attach the kicker to carbon booms.

Alan Gillard, our Technical Officer, will amend the class rules accordingly.
