outlineof acceptedprocedures
for rebuildingour boats.A tremendouseffort hasgoneinto the
creationof the RebuildGuideby
a committeeof peoplewith great
knowledge,experience
andideas
to preservecompetitiveneutrality andpromoteenhancements
to
the basicplatformwe race.
As with anycollaborative
effort an openexchangeof ideas
canleadto conflictingopinions
andthe searchfor a solutioncan
generatemorequestionsthan answers. In undertakinga documentof this naturecompromise
allowsus to establisha starting
point to move forward. When
the RebuildGuideis presented
to the fleet keepin mind that it is
a living document,subjectto
changebasedon our Bi-Laws
and ClassRulesasfuture requirementsandtechnologydictate. I promisethat this guide,as
an interpretationof rules for acceptedproceduresandmeasurementswill not pleaseeveryone
on everysubjectbut it is a necessaryfirst stepto maintainingthe
integrity of our fleet.
A majorconcernis balancingthe needsof rebuilding
boatswithout creatingan overwhelmingcompetitiveadvantage. In reviewofthe exchanges
betweenthe committeeI am certain that the driving intent wasto
keepboatsin line with the original constructionprocesses.The
committeehasdonea goodjob
of identifyingareasthat could
havea measurableaffect on performanceandrulesthat wereunder-definedandcouldbe
"interpreted"to an advantage.
Another effort taking
placein manyfleetsthis yearis
to get boatsweighed.We will
alsobe requestingthat all boats
attendingtheNAC's to have
beenweighed.The intentis to
developa database
of weightsso
we canget a true understanding
wherewe areandanothercheckpoint for boatsthat havebeen
rebuiltto pass. The currentprocessfor determiningdisplacementis fairly nebulousand
needsbetterdefinition. Ideas
havebeenput forth and a determinationwill be comingfrom

Advantages:
All majorsailmakers
