Kirt and Phill, <br> <br>The rules are a perfect copy of the F18 rules in this respect. But I think that our case asks for a different wording so that it also allows other means of righting the boat to replace the righting methode with a righting line. <br> <br>Phill, the tow line on board rule is, again, and exact copy of the F18 rules, I don't really know why it is in the rules exactly but their must be a reason for it. Ofcourse as phil said we can unthread our halyards and mainsheet but I know I will have problems doing this in spring because of the cold water. With numb hands it could proof to be difficult. Does aqnyone know what the ISAF rules say about this, maybe it comes from there. <br> <br>Anyways about leaving it off or on I put it too you : <br> <br> <br> <br>And I would like to see rewording of the rightingline rule. Any suggestions ? <br> <br>Wouter <br><br><br>
