• Réunion à Londres le 10 Septembre 2012

• A l'initiative de Kirsty J Dream

  Extrait du compte rendu :

  Rules
  • Professionals (C3.1)
    
    • There was a proposal that the number should be increased from one to four. For - to encourage owners with established crews to consider the J/111 in their choice of boat; some owners would like to sail with their sailmaker and the person who maintains their boat. Against - there is interest in the current economic climate to keep costs at a manageable level; one professional is enough to raise the performance; unlikely to find four professionals who would sail for "free" and therefore opening discussion regarding payments; owners purchased because they wanted the benefits of a Corinthian Class. Agreed that this rule should not be amended and should remain as one Class 3, who for the avoidance of doubt may not be paid to sail with the boat. Proposed that the rule should be amended to clarify that payment cannot be made apart from for "reasonable expenses"

  • Crew Weight (C3.3) - discussion re number of persons v weight limit. General preference for a weight limit as long as it is implemented. Agreed that all boats would participate in arranging weigh-ins and Kirsty's Slimming World calibrated scales would be Class scales in the UK.
    
    • Many crews during 2012 have found the weight limit very difficult to achieve and it has required crew to be left ashore who are regular sailors on the boats for IRC events. This has made managing crew very difficult. Agreed need to encourage teenagers/females to participate in the Class, therefore calculating a weight based on 8/9 men would not be appropriate. Average weight in UK, US and Germany for male and female calculated. On this basis proposal would be to request amendment to the weight limit for the J/111 Class for European one-design events to 730kg.

  • Equipment (C7.1)
    
    • Bobstay - Request for a bobstay to be permitted. It was agreed that although no poles have broken, there was a considerable amount of flex in the pole. As many boats would be racing IRC and would fit a bobstay, it was agreed that this should be permitted equipment, but that the control of it should not be run to the cockpit or outside of the hull.
    • Furler v tuff luff -Discussion was based around aesthetics and the fact that many boats actually drop their sails rather than furling. It was agreed that boats should be able to choose between using either a tuff luff or a furler and there should be no penalty ie. weight carried to compensate.
    • Hull - rules to be clarified that hulls may not be professionally faired.

  • Sails (G3)
    
    • Design - discussion regarding how we can encourage boats to race one-design whilst many are also often racing under IRC and achieving great results, which raises the profile of the Class. After discussion it was agreed that the mainsail for one-design racing should be as optimised for IRC and the dimensions in the rules amended accordingly. Dimensions to be confirmed. It was noted that there are larger mainsails in existence. Proposed these sails would be grandfathered as long as they have been used on the boat and would remain permitted with that boat for as long as it remains in the current ownership. The only exception to this was noted to be Manic which is currently for sale and has a larger main, where it was agreed that the new owner should be permitted to use the current sails.
    • Cloth - It is not the intention of the Class to prevent investment in sail design or material, but the opposite. All are keen to encouragedevelopment and potentially the phased introduction of "Grand Prix" sailcloth. It was proposed and agreed after discussion that for 2013 the type of sailcloth for one-design events should be restricted to only permit one sail of 3Di, to enable this to be trialled. Agreed that during 2013 the fleet would review the longevity of different cloths, their performance and cost. Again for those boats who already have composite cloth sails it was discussed that their sails should be grandfathered as long as they have been used and for as long as they stay with the boat in the same ownership.

  • IRC - proposed to agree standard hull data as there appears to be a large variation in current hull weights and consequently impacts overhangs and ultimately influences IRC handicaps. It was noted that the sails are also a major factor in IRC handicap rating. I will discuss with Paul Heys after Southampton Boat Show.
    

  I look forward to seeing the UK boats out on the water for the Hamble Big Boat Series in early October, but meanwhile would appreciate any feedback if possible by Friday 21 September 2012 so that conversations with Clubs can be progressed and their calendars finalised. Feel free to call if easier to chat.
