Hearing Schedule

The Rules Committee of the ILYA was recently asked several questions pertaining to the X Boat Class Rules.  Below, please find the questions and answers from the Committee:

Question 1:  Can an X Boat crew stand on the deck and hold the mast to induce heeling of the boat?

Answer 1:  Within the limits of RRS 42.1(b)(1) (rocking induced by body movement) and the World Sailing RRS 42 interpretations, the class rules do not prohibit crew standing on the deck and holding the mast to induce heeling the boat.

Question 2: Can an X Boat crew hang onto the sidestays either inboard or outboard continuously to promote healing of the boat?

Answer 2: No, this is clearly prohibited by 3.18.3 of the class rules.

Question 3: If an X Boat crew is sitting in the cockpit and/or using hiking straps, can they continuously hold onto the sidestays to increase their hiking leverage?

Answer 3:  No, this is clearly prohibited by 3.18.3 of the class rules.

Question 4: Is it permissible for an X Boat crew to momentarily use the side stays to bring themselves into the boat from a hiking position?

Answer 4: Yes, this is permitted but the holding onto the sidestay must be brief and not continuous.
