2020 CLASS RULES and 2:1 MAIN HALYARD APPEAL DECISION

2020 Class Rules

Effective June 15, 2020 the new 2020 Class Rules go into effect, and they can be found in the M242 Class Docs section HERE on the Fleet One website.

The IMCA Technical Committee updated them over the past few weeks, making a number of moderate and minor changes, as follows:

1. The slightly revised Class logo has been inserted and also defined in new Rule 3.6.9. When ordering a new mainsail, please ensure your sailmaker is aware of the updated Class Rules.
2. New Rule 1.3 states that boats shall be measured according to the process guidelines in the World Sailing Equipment Rules of Sailing ("ERS"). This was previously mentioned in the Sail Appendixes, but has been included in the document body so as to explicitly cover the boat and equipment.
3. Keel Position (old Rule 3.1.3) has been moved to Appendix B to align it with the other keel measurements, and to also state that Keel Position Dispensations can be granted by local Fleet Measurers.
4. New Rule 3.3.1.9 states that the main halyard can be a maximum of 1:1
5. 3.7.4.1 to 3.7.8.1 have been renumbered and some of the paragraphs have been moved around to align them better with various subject matter.
6. References to ISAF have been changed to World Sailing.
