  1. Our 2025 Season Championship Class Rules:
    1. Mac Sail allowance? Last year we voted to allow 2 staysails. Do we want to:
      i  Continue with 10 class legal sails plus 2-stay sails?
      ii  Allow Asymmetric sails? (we would get likely one more boat, Papa Gaucho II, if asym’s were allowed)
      iii  Other Ideas or considerations?
    2. Should we consider having ballast plans for:
      i  All of the boats.
      ii  Boats that require additional ballast.
      iii  Just keep doing what we’ve been doing?

PHRF Midwest J35 Certificates:
My understanding is that if your PHRF application has only J35 Class Legal Sails you will receive a rating of 72. If you use staysails or asymmetric sails your rating will be 69
