Mainsail Rule

Once again the subject of the mainsail rule is being debated. As of last week there is a lively debate over the current wording, if it should be changed and how changes would affect the fleet. Josh Hill has been working with a couple of lofts to see if a change should be considered. He has gotten a couple of responses and I hope to see them posted here in the near future.

I think the most important point here is that we are working with the sailmakers to make a refinement, not change the world. The biggest change occured when the class allowed the fourth, full-length batten. This issue is all about tweaking and is not an arms race. These are the changes which keep the class fresh, people interested and promotes growth.

More to come...
