Class Breaks Committee: Survey results (attached.  total respondents 38).

·        Overall, class breaks were not a primary problem for racers.

·        Proposed that boats within 6 sec. of class break can petition for inclusion in next class.

·        One day regattas were strongly favored for 2000 (Saturday, not Sunday).

·        Year 2000: Go back to two-day format for Ch'ship Regatta.  (2 days, 5 races, 3 completed races to constitute the regatta).

·        Keep Class breaks as they currently exist, with adjustment to the limits:

            Class 1                                     ® 60

            Class 2                                     63 ® 111

            Class 4                                     114 ® 156

            Class 5                                     159 ®

            Class 3,                                    ® 156             Performance cruisers with rating up to 156 and performance factor £ 2.  Skippers may elect to sail in this class in lieu of one of the other classes.

            Non-spinnaker class inclusion for High Point.

Officers' Reports - Deferred

 

Old Business

1.      SoCal "database" is not a truly relational database.

2.      PHRF-SD-local database has been normalized to be relational, plus definitions and descriptions are standard, stable and consistent throughout.  Next, screens will be added to add/change information.

3.      US Sailing Association:  PHRF-SD fleet information will be published in 2000.

4.      PHRF-SD-renewal applications are ready to print and distributed.  Membership in PHRF-SD will be independent from membership in SoCal.  SoCal membership will not be required in PHRF-SD, and PHRF-SD will remain a part of the SoCal organization.

 

New Business

1.      Protest from Championship Regatta was disallowed in redress hearing.  Two entries were found to be invalid due to inconsistencies in receipt of entry fees.  Motion to accept results as posted:   MSP.

2.      List of High Point races for 2000.  Will exclude Bishop Rock race next year.  Several other races to be considered.  Further discussion deferred until after December meeting.
