A relaxed approach maybe Steve but not a lapse approach !!
We have rules that are in force at all times when racing which it turn means can be brought into force by any competitor via a protest.
To me the responsibility of the class and its rules is to keep the racing fair
to all its competitors,specialy the ones who take care to look after there boats within the rules.
If the above views are to be encouraged and we are looking to involve more into the racing at all levels then we must also encourage people to bother with the rules and not hope that it will all go away because i am “Just entering for Fun “
