Digital Compasses now allowed

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

With the recent change in our National Class rules regarding the use of digital compasses, many of you may want a fancy new compass.  There are plans for a  group purchase of the Tack Tick compass at a significant discount.  If you are interested in purchasing a compass through this program, please let us know, and we will be included in a group purchase.  We anticipate the final cost to be below $400, (regular price $499) but the exact cost will not be known until we have a count of how many will actually be ordered.

information on the Tack Tick can be read on West Marine and our National Site

Email me directly if you are interested, we will give a count to the powers that be, and then let you know about payment details.

The honorable Dr. A.R.G. Wallace has put together a wealth of information for us to study in the off-season regarding the new Racing Rules. I’m not that good at this, so the links aren’t active yet, but come back soon and i’ll have the documents available.
