• Amendments

There was discussion around letting the measurer's ruling stand that it is legal to use a backstay batten.  It has been used in the past and never questioned before.  There was concern that it shouldn't have to be in the bylaws and should be able to be decided on by the measurer.  There was mutual agreement that the class doesn’t want to have everything become a bylaw amendment. 

Motion to table the amendment.
