J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum One Design Class Rules Standard & Optional Equipment Interpretation Discussions

As noted in the deck refurbishment thread the measurer indicates a plan to eliminate the cowl vent deck fitting at the bow. There is no exception under Class Rule 1.3 and 1.4 to allow this and 4.4 does not allow the measurer to make such a ruling when there is a vested interest. If there remains a desire to eliminate the fitting, the measurer should appeal to the BOG for a ruling.
