APPENDIX A

Notes on Class Rule proposals

a) The 2008 AGM agreed that the final drafting of the class Rules be left to the committee after consultation with ISAF technical staff. Those Class Rules are now before this meeting for formal approval.

b) This proposal is to ensure that the one design rules approved in a) can be amended according to the following decisions.

c) In many countries the class is the foundation for junior programmes for sailors aged 9>12 years, with a range of sail sizes from 3.5. Similarly many countries are adopting Techno for youth and student programmes.

d) This has obvious cost advantages for sailors as they progress.

e) Competitors cannot opt to switch between masts, of different length, during a regatta.

f) This does not come as a feature of the board from the factory and is an impractical requirement for competitor to fit.

g) To give clear guidance to MNA's and NCA's

h) To give clear guidance to MNA's and NCA's

i) This is a practical solution to a real problem with the existing rule:

“positioned in a panel above the space reserved for event advertising, and below the class logo, but as close to the leech as possible”.

j) This is a practical solution to a real problem with the existing rule:

“At events where the organising authority specifies the use of identification of division, the identification shall be displayed on the sail above, or adjacent to, the class insignia. The minimum length of each side shall be 150mm .~~height shall be 230 mm~~.”.

k) Serial numbers have never been applied by Bic Sport.

l) As above.

m) The ISAF Class Rules Sub Committee may still recommend some “re-phrasing” to ensure clarity and compliance with ERS and Regulations.

Note: Bic Sport cannot offer the option of 460 or 490 mast with the 7.8 rig package. As per the decision under "any other business" - the 460 mast will continue to be supplied with both the 6.8 and 7.8 rig packages.
