The Chesapeake Bay Fleet has an addition to the J/30 Class Rules that does not allow drysailing. A conference call is scheduled for 7 PM Thurs Dec 3, 2009 to discuss and vote on a proposal to remove this restriction for the 2010 season. CB J/30 owners should have received an email with details.

Having no prior experience with a full fleet meeting or rules vote by conference call, I think it would be helpful if the case for or against this proposal were discussed here. A straw poll is included. Being unaware of a way to restrict voting, it would be helpful if those not in the Chesapeake Bay Fleet would refrain from voting, however comments from others are not discouraged.
