Please tell us what you think including additional proposed class changes.
Lifelines:
The current class rule requires lifelines to be fully metal-to-metal, with tension provided by turnbuckles. Current best practice for offshore racing is bare wire lifelines tensioned with (strong) rope lashings. Since lifelines are about safety, not speed, I recommend that the class rule be changed to either (a) require conformity with current ORC rules and best practices in lieu of previous class rules or (b) require conformity with current ORC rules and practices for new riggin but grandfather existing rigging. Of the two, I'd prefer (b).
