Highlights included:

General discussion on the 2010 Worlds Qualification Process (editor's note - I'll wait for the official minutes for final ratification) - last sailing Saturday in each month aside from June (conflict with 2009 Worlds) and November (decision to use the Bermuda National Championships as part of the series instead of the Last Blast Series).

Discussion on Sail Purchase Plan for 2009/2010 - the outcome was to seek to purchase 1 sail in 2009 (probably spinnakers) and one in 2010 (probably Mains). More information to be circulated including proces and options.

Discussion on Booms - the class has no additional stock at this point. As a matter of urgency this is to be investigated and either a couple of existing sections to be sourced asap or consideration of a prototype section to be advanced to minimize cost. The imminence of BIIRW is of crucial importance.
