A recent Email from our international secretary Peter Roos reads:

Good morning, gentlemen and ladies

I am pleased to be able to release the results of the recent ballot concerning carbon spinnaker poles and booms.
The ballots have been recorded and approved by two members of the IEC as required.
The overall results of the ballot were:
For 168 Against 116

The motion to allow the use of carbon booms and poles is therefore carried. The appropriate wording will be introduced into the current rules of the class.

Regards

Peter
