The proposed wording as stated is incorrect it should read as follows
Paragraph 6.2.1 rules - proposed
6.2.1 The number of sails on board during a regatta series or race shall be four: #1, and #3 genoas , mainsail and spinnaker. The #2 genoa is optional. A second spinnaker may be carried on board, but only used in a given race if the primary spinnaker is damaged. In the event the second spinnaker is used during a race, the Race Committee shall be notified as soon as practicable.
This change would allow for the use of both spinnakers in a regatta ie if one had a 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz chute they could use the 1/2 oz on a day when the wind was under 10 knots Then if a front came thru and it blew 25 they would be able to use the 3/4 oz
From a class rules point of view it makes no sense to allow the 1/2 chute if we do not make this change If you are racing PHRF you can have a 1/2 oz chute
