2004 Amendment Proposal - Digital Compasses

Fleet 34, North Chesapeake February - May 2004 page 26–27

Proposal from Fleet 34 to amend Chief Measurer's Ruling 65 to allow digital compasses, specifically the Tacktick Micro Compass model T061, in Thistle class racing. The proposal outlines advantages (lighter weight, space-saving, superior damping, easy to read when heeled) and disadvantages (cost, fragility, theft risk) with voting instructions for fleet members.
