Amendments
To
C.W.O.A. Class
Rules And Constitution
(Addition) *12 (ii)
Shroud Plates.
* a) Maximum distance
from edge of deck (excluding gunwale rubber) to centre of pin hole is not
to be more than 3"
* b) Maximum distance
from inside transom (excluding fashion piece) to a line joining centre
of pin holes is not to be more than 8’ 11½".
(Addition) 23. * c)
Minimum angle between leading edge of rudder when fully down and extension
of keel at point of intersection to be not less than l05 degrees.
(Addition) 24. * c)
Minimum angle between leading edge of centreboard when fully down and tangent
to keel at point of intersection to be not less than 100 degrees.
(Addition) 25. * c)
Centre of pivot hole from aft face of forward bulkhead: maximum allowed
11¾", minimum allowed 10 ¾". Centre of pivot hole
from upper face of hog: maximum allowed 1’ 10¾", minimum allowed
1' 9¾".
(Change) 29. Buoyancy
The two transverse
bulkheads must be watertight, but may be fitted with hatch openings
as specified in rules 9(d), 9(e), 13(b), 13(c), and water-tight hatch covers.
Two drain holes, of maximum diameter 1" are permitted in bulkheads and
transom, but must be effectively stoppered while the boat is in the water.
It is not practical fully to test the buoyancy compartments by total immersion
owing to their large volume. Measurers are to check all watertight joints
and satisfy themselves that they are efficient and that the hatches are
adequately watertight. The owner is advised to test the buoyancy annually
by floating the boat in a waterlogged condition, with the water overflowing
the top of the centreboard case. After 20 minutes in this condition the
boat should be bailed out and the tanks inspected for leakage.
(Change) 30. Prohibitions
The following are
prohibited - - electric bailers. Running of main sail sheet and pulley
blocks from centre of boom to centreboard box or keelson in lieu of using
traveller track at transom to end of boom attachment fitting. Inside ballast
or ballast carried by the crew. Centreboard winches, rotating masts. Any
apparatus or contrivance extending outboard from the hull, spars, rigging
or attached to the crew, the purpose or effect of which is or may be to
support or assist in supporting a member of the crew outboard or partially
outboard. Projections beyond the skin, other than gunwale rubbers, fendoffs,
bilge keels, stem band, keel band, bilge keel bands, rudder
fittings, drain plugs, suction bailers, speedometer pivot head, and fixed
bow eye in bow of boat.
(Additions) 31. Modifications

The following are
allowed - - Installing adjustable track type fairleads and/ or replacing
the jib tack strap cable with link chain. Installing Novex tension blocks
(or similar) and jib sheet winches. Removing oar lock bracket fittings

stops in lieu of standard. Adding additional pulley blocks along boom from
the boom, fixed swivel block along with jam or tension blocks and cleats.
Rearrangement of hiking straps. Adjustable spinnaker and whisker pole fittings
on a track on the mast.
(Addition) 32. Special

or rudder blades must be to original design specifications. Intentional
adjustment of standing rigging after the preparatory signal of a race is
not permissible.
