Minor adjustments to M242 Class Rules
Competitors are advised that the IMCA Committee has made some minor adjustments to the M242 Class Rules, whichwill go into effect January 1, 2010.
Specifically, the changes that occurred since the last set of Rules were announced in early November are:
- 2.5 (Spinnaker Hoist Height ERS definition) has been discarded due to redundancy with the ERS, and
- 3.2.12 has been modified slightly to simplify the wording.
Competitors may provide their comments to:

Secondly, the IMCA Committee is in the process of creating a Measurers Handbook, which will help facilitate the measurement process for each boat.
