Definition of Heavy Weather Jib

 

Click here for a PDF version of this notice in English and French

 

The definition within ISAF Offshore Special Regulations of Heavy Weather Jib has changed for 2012 by deletion of the final phrase and without reef points.

By omission, these words have not been deleted from the IRC definition. 

 

The IRC definition of Heavy Weather Jib is therefore amended with immediate effect to:

HWJ     Heavy weather jib. A headsail of area not greater than 13.5% foretriangle height squared.

If you are in Great Britiain and eagerly awaiting your 2012 Yearbook and revalidation form, these will be on their way to you shortly.   It was intended that they would be collected from the office today, but due to the weather today it had to be post-poned. We trust that they will be winging their way to you soon!
