Hier einige Vorschläge:
Nous vous prions de jeter un coup d’oeil aux propositions ci-dessous:
Proposal for a change in Rule 29.(a) and 29.4 from G.O.Ahlers@web.de
Gentlemen,
I was aproached recently by an owner of a 6mR yacht requesting me to renew his measurement certificate because in
accordance with Rule 29 (a) it ceased to be valid.
He stated that the yacht has not been altered in any way which could have any effect on his rating.
A renewal of this certificate under the given circumstances makes little sense to me.
I would therefore like to make the following submission to the class and, for your consideration, to have the respective
class rules amended as follows:
PROPOSAL:
To replace Class Rule 29.(a)
“Two years after the date of issue;“
With the following wording: “Change of ownership;“
To replace Class Rule 29.4 “The owner shall be responsible for seeing that the yacht, its spars, sails and equipment
comply with the scantling and racing rules at all times while racing.“
With the following wording:
„It is the resposibility of the owner to see that his yacht, spars, sails and equipment comply with the class and scantling
rules as well as relevant International Yacht Racing Rules at all times while racing and that alterations, replacements or
repairs to the yacht, spars, sails or equipment do not invalidate the certificate of rating.“
REASON:
A renewal of a certificate of rating every two years does not in any way ensure control over the compliance rule for each
yacht, it is only „red tape“ and only costs the owners money.
But a renewal of the certificate after a change of ownership seems to be important and is not stated as mandatory
anywhere in these rules.
If there is a problem with rule compliance in the class, this can only be solved by increased checking at events and by
more clearly pointing out to the owners their responsibility under Rule 29.4 as proposed above, since the current wording
and RR 78.1 may not be clearly understood by or known to everybody.
Respectfully submitted
by Günter O. Ahlers
Measurer.
