J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum One Design Class Rules Comment Here - Draft Potential Rule Changes for 2009

Paragraph 5.12.2.4 (headboard)
I think it unnecessary to include in class rules what is covered in ISAF's Equipment Rules of Sailing, as it opens the door for technical protests. ISAF doesn't use the term headboard, but G.1.4(n) 'corner board'. This change is better left to a technical ruling or advice to measurers.
