1. So when are we required to put foward a letter to the chairman to request official membership?
When ever a sailor wants to become a member with voting rights on the F16 class rules
2. We will have to do this on a yearly basis?
No, just make sure that you have a online F16 race result to secure your next year membership.
If you are smart then each sailor will mail in a link to such a result.
3. We will also have to do this on any change? ie diferent boat ect ect.
If one changes boats or adress or whatever then yes a notification of that needs to be send to Formula16class(at)hotmail.com . How else are we going to keep the listed updated.
Note that one gets a different boat that (eventually) the new owner needs to request a new measurement form as well ? In time this will become a required practice as well. By sending in the changes to the class authority we can advice the new owner on that. Otherwise he or she may think that the certificate of the former owner can be carried over. If it is done right than the new owner can get a new certificate without having to have the boat remeasured.
As most things, this links in with our future path.
You guys wanted it being done in official ways , well here it is.
