* RULES PROPOSAL 1
Add Rule 8.9


Reason: To allow nonskid strips and foam cockpit floors such as Raptor deck.  They make the boat more comfortable for some sailors and convey no competitive advantage, merely add a small amount of weight. The typical foam cockpit floor weighs 11 bs on a Viper.

8.9 Adhesive non-skid or cushioned foam grip may be added to the floor of the cockpit.

Amend Rule 5.3 (b)
