Rule Subject: Trimming of Genoa or Jib Sheets Description: Reword the rule to include the prohibition of strops between the turning block and the car on the headsail track. Current Rule: 7.2 Other than specified in Rule 6.1.1 the trimming of genoa or jib sheets by means other than by a sheet from the clew directly to the fixed block fastened by plunger pin or screw pin to headsail tracks or from optional deck eye (see Rule 6.1.4(b)) first, then through the clew on the 100 percent jib. Proposed Rule: 7.2 Other than specified in Rule 6.1.1 the trimming of genoa or jib sheets by means other than by a sheet from the clew directly to the turning block attached to a car with a plunger pin or screw pin on the headsail tracks. The trimming of the 100 percent jib may optionally be from optional deck eye (see Rule 6.1.4(b)) first, then through the clew on the jib. The turning block must be attached directly to the car on the headsail track by a shackle or other material of minimum length to enable the attachment, and fixed so that it is not adjustable while sailing. The vertical distance from the deck adjacent to the headsail track to the loadbearing surface of the sheave in the fixed block closest to the deck may be a maximum of 110 mm. Reasons:To eliminate the need for the rule interpretation prohibiting strops. Rule interpretations are intended to be temporary and resolved by a permanent rule change. ITC Position: Approve
