Russ, ouch - a bit strong like my coffee this morning.
Hi everyone, we talked on the phone tonight about the issue to say hello, catch up and define next steps. Here goes:
(1)
J/Boats Charlie, Bill, Bob and I will develop an equipment list and a drawing of all standard equipment on the top side of the deck including positions of hardware.
(2) Present a rule change to the BOG to include the top side specifications.
(3) Vote on the above in October at the NAs BOG meeting.
If after talking to
J/Boats, we conclude the front cowl vent was not standard equipment, this issue is dead.
If we conclude the front cowl was standard on all J/30s, we'll vote to allow fill and conver at the NA Bog meeting.
Thanks for everyone's input. Also, special thanks to Don King for attending tonight's meeting. It was nice meeting Don who sails out of Detriot, MI.
Cheers,
