Hello All,

I hope everyone is looking forward to sailing in Hyannis in seven weeks, it’s shaping up to be a great regatta.

As a reminder you are required to have your boat fully certified in order to participate in the 2011 North American F18 Championship. Due the problems encountered at Worlds this year we will be paying very close attention to sail materials. If your equipment is found to be out of compliance you will be subject to protest. You can find the class rules and the accepted materials list here: http://www.naf18.com/joomla/2010F18ClassRules.pdf

Class measures, please make sure you note the materials on the certification form as required.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Regards,
David Ingram
USF18 Chair

What about compasses and synthetic trapeze lines? Any other sticking points?
