All International and UK RS700 Class Association Members are being asked to vote whether they would like to adopt the proposed adjustment to the equalisation method rules. Each RS700 Class Association member will be sent an individual email to ask them to vote.
You can only vote if you are an RS700 Class Association member. To become an RS700 Class Association member simply join online here.
There are three documents which you should read in order to reach an informed decision on whether the rules need to be changed.
The first document is a background explanation by your RS700 Class Association Chairman Richard Wadsworth here.
The second document is the argument for the proposed change here.
The third document is the argument for no change here.
A "yes" vote is a vote to implement the proposed changes to the equalisation method rules. So it is "yes" for change.
A "no" vote is a vote to keep the current equalisation method rules and make no change. So it is "no" for no change.
RS700 Class Association members need to email me Clare Sargent their decision in terms of stating "yes" or "no" by Monday 18 January 2016 to [email protected]
In order for change to be made to the RS700 equalisation system an amendment has to be made to the RS700 rules. This requires a majority vote of the relevant members of the Class Association who return written replies within one month of the circulation of the proposed rule change.
The proposed rule change is being circulated today Friday 18 December 2015. The closing date for the written reply is therefore Monday 18 January 2016. An email response counts as a written reply.
Please see RS Class Association Rules at here and RS700 Class Association Rules here.
If you are a member please vote. If you are not a member but want to influence the future of the RS700 fleet please take out RS700 Class Association membership and go ahead and vote.
I look forward to reading your decision and then publishing the RS700 Class Association decision.
Best wishes
Clare
