Hull and Sail Logos

[dougrichardson]

are there any restrictions to naming your boat and having a logo (not an advertisement)?

[DN 805]

In the section of the By Laws that govern IDNIYRA regattas,
refer to B 11)  "No commercial information will appear on any DN parts other than standard sailmaker's or builder's marks.  Those marks must comply with the following criterion:  One sailmaker's mark may appear on each side of the sail.  The entire mark must be within 16" of the tack.  One or two builder's marks may be displayed on a part made by that buildfer.  All builder's marks must be smaller than 6" X 6".    This requirement will apply from 7:00 AM of the first day of any official activity for a regatta until after the awards ceremony for that regatta.  Sailmaker's or builder's marks and commercial decals and stickers that are in place before May 15, 1989 are not covered by this requirement."

Also refer to B 12)  The IDNIYRA is an amateur racing association. It is managed by volunteers and is financially self-sufficient.  To preserve this character, the IDNIYRA and its members will not participate in commerical promotion at IDNIYRA events.  The IDNIYRA recognizes the imporantance of suppliers of DN sailing products.  The relationship between the IDNIYRA and DN suppliers may include: support of raffles, advertising on DN related products and supplier listings in IDNIYRA publications, and other similar activiites in keeping with the character of the IDNIYRA.
