Thom,



The basic information is as follows:



The box rule is currently

being worked out however the following is set in stone.



LOA 22 ft

Max beam 12'6"

Minimum weight fully rigged 300lbs.

Max spar 40 ft measured from base of spar.



crew weight minimum 350lbs ( may have three crew)



Sail Area is being debated at this time and is part of

the overall design process. Designers are invited to

submit a design and recomendation for

approval/debate. Designs will be held confidential

and will not be released to any party other than the

PRO and committee without written release of the

designer/builder.



SA is a heated topic of conversation: However all designs have come in between 1000 sq ft and 1200 sq ft. The major difference is in the size of spinnaker. Since the course is primarily a windward-leeward gate with an offset mark to clear the windward mark. Most designs have been a unirig.



The design process is open with builders being encouraged to submit designs. Notice: Minimum of three boats must be built to qualify and a team can not change designs during the season also parts are limited with the exception of rigging and sails. Colors, team name, and sailors are to be registered.



Thanks

Steve
