IOMICA AGM - Your vote needed!

Roger, you make the point exactly, F.2.3 should be adhered to, this is why the oversized Potter gooseneck with the plate was banned, it gained an advantage in area. This was back in 2015 and amazingly the very same technical personnel find this new oversize kicking strap, with its carbon plate as fine and no restrictions to size mentioned, so in a few years time we will all have 20mm kickers that extend from the gooseneck to the end of the boom and then to infinity and beyond if a restriction isn't added like in 2015.

GBR29, the deck on Brad's boat compared to the Vizz is a million miles apart, a bit like comparing the Himalayas to the Bonneville Salt flats, no raised foredeck, no raised aft deck, all very smooth and flat throughout, bit like what we used to sail 20+ yrs ago, nothing new, as for his kicking strap it's just a piece of string, well 3 actually, probably cost about 12pence compared to £££££'s if no restriction is added.
