I have attached a link to a photograph to ask for opinions.

I cannot see anywhere that it states SAILS may not be multicoloured.

I would want to be less prescriptive of what IOM owners might or might not wish to worry about, ask questions about, or discuss. For me, it is exactly in the best interests of the class that such questions are asked and discussed openly. There can be no suggestion of stupidity, invalidity, or impropriety in such discussion, and there can be no suggestion that asking such questions and having such discussion is not in the interests of the class.I hope I will never hear anrgument that for frosted mylar, the frosted surface must be on the same side of the finished sail. I suggest that worrying about the mylar sail panels being frosted or clear, and like "interpetations" or "assumptions" is not in the overall class best interest.
I'm replying strictly by memory, as my rules folder is not here in front of me, but if I'm not mistaken , a class measurer is no longer required to check the sail numbers, only the class insignia. Checking the sail numbers is the responsibility of the owner and event measuring.Chairman wrote:Hi RayRay Flanigan wrote:Is it then possible to have your 1m sails in a different color apart from white?
Sure, the panels just need to be all the "same". But, you might run into problems with the visibility of your sail number. If a measurer is in doubt, they would put your sails side by side with a "regular" rig, and then walk backwards until one or other sail number became unreadable. It had better be the other rig... (smile)
Yes, your right, but there can't be many people who have illegal sails or numbers or boat when not competing and then make them legal only for events, no? As we have already said, they're not the easiest thing to change or move.Checking the sail numbers is the responsibility of the owner and event measuring
Generally advertising isn't a problem on our sails or boats - they are Category C as far as IOM Class Rules and ISAF are concerned and although your MNA may have some rules about it, the restrictions are minimum. But your blackouts aren't advertising are they.
mmm.....interesting, I really don't know of the top of my head.if I should turn my blackouts into advertisments
