GP 33 Class rule change


After taking in consideration all the aspects and arguments in the discussion of the merit of a bow sprit versus spinnaker pole ORC Offshore Classes Events Committee has proposed to the Congress to modify GP Rule 501.5 to permit sprits and not permit spinnaker poles for the GP 33. Recommendation was unanimously approved by the Congress AGM on 06 November 2007.

GP Rule 501.5 change
In the first sentence delete "and 33"
In the second sentence after "For the GP 26" add "and "GP 33".

All the relevant ORC Rules and Regulations available on the web are updated with this change.

GP 33 Class rule change


Following the requests received from sailors, designers and boat owners to lower the costs, and considering that no GP 33 construction has yet been reported, the Offshore Racing Congress at its Management Committee meeting on 15 - 16 April 2007 agreed to prohibit the use of Carbon for that Class, with the same concept in force for the smaller GP 26.

ORC believes that this change will create more interest for the GP 33 Class, as it is developing with the GP 26 and the GP 42 classes, with various projects available worldwide not only from all the top established design offices, but also from new young people at the beginning of their design career.

GP Rule 202 change

In the list of permitted materials for GP 33 class delete "Carbon" and "Kevlar" All the relevant ORC Rules and Regulations available on the web are updated with this change.

Si no me equivoco, prohiben tangones en GP 26 y 33 (botalones si se puede)
y prohiben carbono y kevlar en cascos y mástiles en GP 33 (en GP 26 ya estab prohibido).

Todo sea por la competición en tiempo real, y yo prefiero elegir el astillero.

¿Y que más da el carbono?

Estas clases no estan triunfando por un motivo de costes, pero no del barco, sino del programa completo. Lo caro no es el barco, lo caro son los hoteles, furgonetas, juegos de velas, neumatica de apoyo, etc, etc, etc (mejor gastar el dinero en un proyecto de un TP52 no competitivo, buscando salir en las fotos cerca de la Casa Real y así rentabilizar la inversión)...

Porque estos barcos, que no tienen vida fuera de las regatas, no tienen valor de reventa apenas, por lo que pocos amateurs en su sano juicio se meteran...
