PAPER
TIGER CLASS
RULES
The
class rules govern the measurement of the Paper
Tiger Class Catamaran. They ensure that racing is
maintained to "one-design". Get
a copy of the current class measurement rules.
The
class also recognizes
that the design is allowed to develop to encompass
new ideas and technology, while still being
controlled with the one-design rules, ensuring close
racing and costs are controlled. It also ensures
that boats are not obsoleted - evidenced by well
built craft remaining competitive for many years.
The change and acceptance of amendments to class
rules is governed by the Paper
Tiger Catamaran International Association Constitution,
and must be passed by at least a 2/3 majority
vote by members.
Following
the 2009 AGM held at Easter, The Paper Tiger
Catamaran International Association is inviting
amendment proposals.
If you wish to propose a
class rule change, you can do so by submitting a
proposal on the form attached or by downloading the
form from the PTCIA website at www.papertigercatamaran.org
under Rules > Rules Discussion.
Please note that you should only submit one change
per form to avoid any confusion.
All proposals must be
submitted by 10th
July 2009 and must be seconded by
another member. All proposals received will be
posted on the PTCIA website (from mid-June onwards)
so that people can view the proposals and suggest
further ideas via the Forum on the site.
For
information regarding the process for amendments
to the class rules see the class constitution.
