I understand the wording that Charlie Stoddard included in his post above. I want to make sure people understand the potential impact on this.

Currently, a person who races one design only has the choice of a single spinnaker per the class rules. That was the intention of the original proposed wording, but allowing flexibility to use a lighter weight spinnaker.

The wording that Charlie Stoddard uses allows the use of two different types of spinnakers in a regatta such as the J/30 NAs. Thus some may feel that in order to be competitive they must have a 0.5oz and a 0.75oz spinnaker.

Personally, I would spend the money to do this, but I don't know what the feeling is by other class members, and would not want to impose a change that creates a potential financial problem for others.

I think that everyone needs to weigh in with their opinion on this change, as it is the only change proposed that has potential cost implications. The applicable class rules are para 5.12.6.1 and para 6.2.1 .
