Title: Technical Committee review and interpretation clarifies runner weights Post by: DN 805 on February 19, 2014, 09:50:20 AM The Technical Committee has reviewed the DN runner specifications and interpretations. A new official interpretation has been reviewed by the Governing Committee. The exact text of the interpretation will be posted under official announcements and also on ice.idniyra.org.
A synposis of the Tech Comm review: 1) The runner specifications do not establish a minimum weight for a runner. 2) The old interpretation dated 1977 which seemed to infer that there was a minimum weight has been deleted. 3) A new interpretation dated 02/17/2014 is now official: Runners are not considered ballast and runners of different weights may be used during a regatta, provided each runner complies with the specifications and interpretations under E. Runners. Note: As is true with each DN component, the number of runners used in a regatta remains restricted. Jane Pegel, ch IDNIYRA Technical Committee |
