The new sail measurement rules have been passed. Slight changes have been made to the measurement of the sails, but more importantly, standard ISAF measurement procedures will now be used to measure in all sails. This should make measurement easier both for sailmakers and for sailors at the nationals.

Lastly, the Craigs have taken the initiative and followed in the wake of Ross to try out an asymmetric chute. Ross and Eli really liked sailing with the bigger sail last summer, and are really looking forward to going head to head against some other boats with the same configuration. If you are interested in seeing and trying this out, make sure you show up to any of the Hull events this year!
