1)         It was further resolved by the skippers that the chairman for the Mackinac race be approached with the requirement that all 40.7's entering the race as a 40.7 one-design sign an agreement that the vessel agrees to abide by our class rules. 

 

2)         The meeting was adjourned. 

            The next meeting will be in the fall after the 2006 racing season ends.
