#1 ammendment specifies that a rudder going through the slot does not have to work.
It does not specify whether a diagonal boats rudder should work or not.
This one has me worried.
Recent interpretation from our class secretary states: that at some events it may be ruled that the rudder should work inside the box unless the boat sets straight in the box and protrudes out the back through the slot. Diagonal boats look out.
You may be called on this one depending on interpretation at any given event.
I would not want to be disqualified from any race so I will be moving my rudder forward.
#2 merely adds a windicator
#3A clarifies what a rig or sail set is in order to clarify new proposals
#3B states no rig may be altered in size during an event, scissors, etc.
#4 clarifies only 2 channels may be used to control a boat.
#5 states that if you use something other than lead for a keel is must have the same density as lead.
#6 says you can use any kind or type of battery you want as long as it is in the boat.
#7A defines thickness of a rudder to be 6.3 mm and projection through the box limited to 51 mm.
It also adds an S to the end of the existing word Rudder. Which means you may have more than one.
#7B Clearly states you may have only one rudder.
#8A Proposed no more than 3 sets of sails be used. FAILED
#8B Proposed 3 sets of sails with limits FAILED
#8C Passed which say you may have only 2 sets of sails with no size limitation. These must be checked in at registration
#8D Proposed you could have as many rigs of as many sizes as you wished FAILED
