| RI-99-06 BACKSTAY SHOCKCORD (1999-04-28) |
|
| Q1: | In an old newsletter, there was a picture of a shockcord hooked to the backstay handle with an adjuster line led forward. Is this legal? |
| A1: | No. The committee agreed this was an innovative idea, but is not specifically permitted in the rules and changes the handling of the boat. |
