The 9 mtr boats which are build before the date of a possible acceptance of the rules will be permanently dispensated. For life as they say. My current count is there is only one 9 mtr. or even over-8,5-mtr rig right now next to my own.



As the chairman of the class I don't have the luxury of dispensating myself, so yes I will cut of my mast, my mainsail will not be to much of a problem as I ordered that one with alot of boom clearance. It will just sit lower on boat now with or without a few minor modifications.
