| Date: 2008-04-03 Name: Richard Robbins | The technical committee discussed this issue (3/12/2008) and it was decided that the bail used for the mainsheet must be stainless steel. Any device used between the mainsheet bail (#16 on Official Plan) and the mainsheet block (#14 on Official Plan) to keep the mainsheet in-place is optional and can be of any design. |
