Central Council has voted in favor of implementing a penalty for unmeasured mainsails.

This was in response to some well established classes now receiving a penalty for their mainsail.

Central Council is aware that the changes we have made over the past few year have resulted in some unmeasured mainsail boats having a slower handicap than other boats in their same class.

 In response:

Starting in 2018: All unmeasured mainsails will receive a 3 sec/nm penalty.
