RS500 New Class Rules

Apologies that the proposed rule changes, discussed at the RS500 AGM held in August 2011, agreed by vote, and send to ISAF for agreement, have not been published before now.

ISAF have not yet confirmed their agreement (it’s been a busy year for them!) so we are now assuming that no news confirms agreement.

The revised rules are therefore up on the website under 'Documents' at http://www.rs500.org/docs/RS500%20Class%20Rules%20-%202012.pdf The additions are at paragraphs C.1.4 (mainsheet rules), and C.7.3. (kicking strap and single footloop).

Please ask contact Jon Partridge at RS Sailing at [email protected] if you want advice regarding placing for kicking strap control cleat, and single footloop.
