Official The S2 7.9 Fleet (MORC 1) Special Fleet Rules

The S2 7.9 Class Association Rules are in effect for all races governed by WYC Sailing Instructions. 

The following exceptions to the S2 7.9 Class Rules are in force and apply to those events: 

1. WYC racers may sail with any number of crew for any race.

2. WYC race crews may sail at any crew weight for any race.

3. Any sail may be replaced or substituted with any other legal sail at any time.

4. There is no restriction on the number of sails that may be carried aboard.

5. New headsails (genoas and jibs) which have LP measurements of less than 14.50 feet but greater than 10.0 feet are not allowed. An old sail may be 'cut down' or otherwise reduced in its sail area, but a new sail may not be designed or used for this purpose. Use of any such new sail shall be deemed a “prohibited modification” under the class rules.

6. A boat may be awarded the average of its points scored in that series, for one (missed) race per series, if a boat and its crew have traveled to race in a class-sanctioned event. As such, the average of its points scored shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with .5 being rounded up to 1.0).

7. Any individual, regardless of their membership in the class association, may act as skipper and may steer the boat at any time.

As a courtesy, S2 7.9 sailors are reminded that ALL OTHER class rules, including but not limited to

• minimum boat weights

• sail purchase limitations

• required equipment aboard

• sail construction limitations

• membership in the class association are in effect at all times.
