5. Resolutions
To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following special resolutions by the required two thirds majority of those present or by proxy and entitled to vote.
Preamble
The Class rules have not been reviewed for several years. A number of administrative matters need to be addressed to more accurately reflect how the Association is managed and take into account changes in circumstances over time. These changes are considered largely cosmetic and will not impact the integrity of the one design racing principles of performance of the Sydney 38.
Two resolutions that were passed at the last AGM (increase in the maximum crew weight to 800kgs and the deletion of the ISAF Group 2 sailor classification) have been reflected in the redrafting of the rules.
Resolution 1
To adopt the redrafted class rules as the rules used to govern the class effective immediately.
6. Other Business
To consider other business that might be brought forward in accordance with the Rules.
Mark Griffith – President
