Waiting for ruling on 'Billboard'

Post by Art Prufer » 15 Jan 2024, 17:06

A request was submitted on November 232rd last year by the CAN IOM Class Secretary requesting a ruling on the legality of a "vane like billboard" installed on an IOM. AFAIK there has been no response to this request.
Here are some photos of the "billboard" in question.

Wow, 1492 views and not one comment.
It seems the 'system' is broken.

Looks like it should be measured as additional sail area!

Some time ago, some boom vangs were quite large CF plates and they were outlawed along the same line of though
