Fleet Business

1. Captain:Class rules were distributed at the May 1999 meeting that included areas to be addressed with specific changes were discussed, voted and approved. Final wordage presented by Paul DeCapua at the June 1999 meeting was different than what was adopted by board action the previous month. This officer of PHRF SoCal and the board itself continues to disregard the "due process" required by the Class Rules and Bylaws. The So Cal board failed to take any corrective action, accepting the new rules as written. The requested changes to the master database still are not incorporated to date. However, a new certificate was presented for review. SoCal does not appear to have any QC procedures in place to review new and existing data. Separation from PHRF SoCal may yet need to occur. Our database must be in order for certificates and valid lists. Reiterated three purposes of PHRF:
   a. Establish rules to support and encourage racing.
   b. Establish handicaps to make racing as equitable as possible.
   c. Establish database of boat info, owner info, manufacturer info.
   Keep database in a format easily accessible to members and area yacht clubs.
   Motion to reactivate SD Independent Fleet Committee. MSP.
   Committee members are Al Poindexter, Ken Gust, Tom Smith, Mike Roach, Chris Guild.

3. Roster Secretary:Not present.
4. Treasurer:Budget status report distributed.
