UK Mainsail Proposal - The Results are In!

The results of UK Mainsail rule change proposal (see my previous post) are in.  The rule did not pass.  The UK fleet voted for the proposal - the Canadian, Australian, German, and American fleets voted against.

The CDA's votes were split the "against" outnumbering the "for" the proposed rule changes by about 3:1.  Many owners provided feedback - thanks for that - that I will try to summarize here.

Several in the "against" column did so to prevent an increase in costs, others voted on the basis of not wanting wind limits, saying we should not limit a competent RC and fleet from making a game-time decision.  There were also some expressions about adding more rules to an already complex fleet.  Those who voted "for" wanted to be able to make boats more sail-able, higher performing in a wider range of wind conditions.  There were also some mixed opinions - those who liked the mainsail changes, but not the wind limits, and vice versa, but didn't want the bad with the good.

Thanks again to everyone who voted.
