The Super Sunfish Racing Class Board of Governors met just before the North Americans at Madison , Connecti­ cut on September 7th . It approved some rules changes and additions, selected the site for the 1980 North Americans, and elected some new members. Will White was elected Chairman , giv­ ing John Black Lee a well -deserved rest. John was almost single-handedly responsible for the birth and develop­ ment of the Class, and has carried most of the load ever since. John also retired from the Board, and was replaced by Donald Lovelace. John Lee is not drop­ ping out of sight; he wi ll continue to race the Supers. and will be available as a Now Permitted on Super Sunfish: consultant on rules and regattas.
