Outcome of Membership Vote - Changes to RS700 Class Rules
At the RS700 class meeting held during the 2003 National Championships it
was agreed that the class would embark upon trials of a revised 66%
weight and leverage equalisation system. The objective of the class in
reviewing this was to make racing closer and so more enjoyable, attract
new people into the class and retain existing people, to implement a
system that is both practical and capable of being policed, and to
minimise the cost and complexity of any changes
A vote was held in early 2004 which agreed that a proposed new
equalisation system should be trialled in the 2004 racing season.
Following the completion of the 2004 season, it was proposed that the new
equalisation system was implemented, and an appropriate vote has just
been held.
It was proposed that the wording of paragraph 3.0 (Performance
Compensation) of Appendix 7 to the RS Class Rules was changed.
18 votes were received � many thanks to the voters. It was agreed, by
15 votes to 3 (81%), that the wording to paragraph 3 be amended as
proposed.
The revised rules are now in place, and are available under documents on
the RS website, or from the RS Office. The RS700 Class Rules in the
2005 Yearbook are therefore out of date.
