Most of the changes were minor and involved housekeeping issues. There were also a few changes that involved better use of the ERS (Equipment Rules of Sailing) terms, but did not change any of the meanings of the Rule. An understanding of ERS terms is useful in reading our Class Rules. A copy can be downloaded from the World Sailing (WS) website: http://www.sailing.org/documents/isaf- equipment-rules.php. Most of them are intuitive. The 2mm radius between the transom and the hull was missed in the original Rules conversion to WS format. It has been reinstated. When we allowed the turnbuckle on the forestay, the intention was to make it easier to reach maximum forestay length. We now have added the limitation that the forestay length shall not be adjusted at any time for the duration of an event. This means any event, whether a multi-day regatta or a single race. Once you leave the dock for the first race of the event, or once the forestay has been measured and sealed before the event, the forestay must remain the same length. No changes on the way out to the race or between races or even day to day at a regatta. Crew Position–RRS 49.2 shall apply to all crew except the headsail trimmer. This change allows the headsail trimmer to turn while sitting on the rail to adjust the headsail trim. Turning to do so would put him/her in violation of the hiking Rule 49.2 because the one hip would likely be outside the sheerplan. These changes took effect March 1, 2017. J/24 International Pulse • Issue 13 • March 2017 • Page 4 IJCA Technical Report We are also working on a change to the 100% jib Rules to better regulate roach on the sail. We will likely be proposing a girth limitation on the jib after consulting with major sailmakers to be sure we will not be making large numbers of existing sails illegal for use. Work will continue on the Measurement Manual with a target release of May 1. Thanks to Mike Johnson, it is already corrected to match up to the new Rule numbers in the WS format. Enhancement and explanations of some of the ERS terms will be added. To those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, hope you are having a great season. To those of us freezing in the Northern Hemisphere, get to work. Spring will be here soon!

The EC program is already set, focusing on sailing. While at the first Hungarian European Championship in 2008 the Hungarian teams were less experienced in competing, the program and the atmosphere were unforgettable for those who attended the event. In the past eight years, many significant changes took place: the number of the Hungarian active fleet is now over 20, and several internationally renowned sailors started participating in the J/24.
