A. Follow-up on J-92 (Speedy Gonzolas s/n 46092) Asymmetrical Spinnakers

Summary: Reviewed new certificate issued with corrected Asymmetrical spinnaker dimensions listed. Noted the PHRF Certificates still do not compute proper Sq. Footage Area properly for Pole Boats. The Sq. Footage listed on the certificate appears to be for a standard Spinnaker Boat. No other handicap action was taken on Speedy Gonzolas for current asymmetrical spinnakers.

It was noted that Tabasco, N/M 39, s/n 28881 was scored with a 21, not the 24 rating voted on at the Area-G July 1997 Board Meeting, and that the actual race results for the individual races were still unavailable as of 9/8/97.
