6:25 PM Meeting called to order

1. After discussion it was decided to leave the extra 3 seconds currently being added for a Sunbrella UV cover in place for the time being.

2. After discussion it was decided that Walt will meet with Bill Fastiggi to discuss and devise a better adjustment schedule for A-Sails.

3. After discussion it was decided Brian will do further research in his proposed topic of sail measurements and the tolerances allowed. He will report back to us.

4. After discussion it was decided to remove the topic of boat weight reductions and additions from our agenda.

5. After discussion it was decided the J/29 ratings are in good order even though at a quick glance they appear to be widely varied. They are varied because the boats have widely differing configurations.

6. After discussion of the A Class Cat rating, it was decided that Brian will experiment with last summer's results plugging in different ratings and seeing their effect on the results. He will then report back to us.

7. After discussion and a vote it was decided to change the base rating for the J/33 from 84 to 81 so that it is consistent with the other J/Boats Recommended PHRF Ratings as found on their web site. We use that source in rating the other J/Boats on LC.

8. After discussion it was decided to make a revision to our Bylaws that will ensure that a boat racing on LC will be only scored using the rating approved by LC-PHRF and listed in our data base.

9. The boats that were rated in 2011 were discussed. Adam will research the prop on Will Patten's boat. Chris will research the the size of Miro's largest jib/genoa. John will ask Noah to file an updated LC-PHRF Application to reflect any changes made to his boat.

10. A discussion took place re: the tentative make-up of this Committee for 2012. Final appointments and the election of officers will take place at the first meeting in 2012.

8:03 PM Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Rod Carr
Secretary LCPHRF
