They reflect what the early members agreed to find that balance between our new J70 sailors and the grizzled veterans to encourage fast and fun and fair J70 sailing. As such the overall sail limitations and pro participation guidelines for Club racing are intact. </div><div dir="ltr" style="" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="ltr" style="" class="">Further, we added average points to recognize the traveling done by many members but also to reward those members who show up for lots of local races, a key attribute of a successful fleet. </div><div dir="ltr" style="" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="ltr" style="" class="">*We also added an experimental inverted winch rule, to permit a less bruising ride, for those who choose to make the switch.</div><div dir="ltr" style="" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="ltr" style="" class="">It’s important to remember that this fleet has grown to 10 boats in a couple of seasons. Our members bring the best of ideas from many fleets in the Club, for example inclusiveness and fun from the Capri fleet and hardcore competition from the J24 and J22 fleets. The goal is to grow the fleet by incorporating these best practices. </div><div dir="ltr" style="" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="ltr" style="" class="">Please review the rules and vote via email to me via the J70 List Server or directly <a href="mailto:Seamus.Hendrickson@gmail.com" class="">Seamus.Hendrickson@gmail.com</a> I will compile the votes and forward to Joel, Fleet Secretary, by Wed at 5 pm.
