Class Rules Update

The Vaurien Class Rules have been updated by World Sailing. The most recent rules and an overview over the changes can be found here.

Summary of changes is:

  • It is now class-legal to carry a flotation device at the mast head
  • Cleats on the sails for any leech lines do not count to the overall number of cleats anymore.
  • You can now use a clew strap around the boom, similar to ILCA class, instead of having a slide in the boom track. But: If you have a mainsail with a bolt rope or slide, it must be inside the boom track.

On top of that, some small editorial changes have been incorporated.
