PROPOSED US SAILING PRESCRIPTION TO RULE 46
by Jim Capron, US SAILING President

Over the last two months, the US SAILING President and Board of Directors have received many comments and questions from sailors and volunteers all over the country. I have replied to many directly, but I also promised to
collate the questions into a Q&A on the US SAILING website. Here is the link to the website that provides answers to those questions. Most of the questions concern the proposed US SAILING Prescription to rule 46 (i.e.,
Mandatory Membership), but there are also questions about US SAILING in general. This page also contains the draft wording of the proposed new rule, as of May 23, 2008. This draft WILL change in the coming weeks, and we will update the web page accordingly. --

Please also see the following link to answer the often asked question "what
does US SAILING do for me and the sport of sailing?" For all those who said
that US SAILING does not add enough value for you (or sailors in general), I
would appreciate comments on what we can add to the list in this second link
to provide that value. -- http://www2.ussailing.org/What_US_SAILING_Does.htm
