The International J/22 Class Association (IJ22CA) International Technical Committee (ITC) has been using Technical Rulings for more than 25 years in a way that has been effective for the Class and has not been disputed or a source of contention until recently. The ITC acknowledges that there is a discrepancy with current World Sailing Regulations and what has been the traditional ITC process. For this reason, the ITC has rescinded all Technical Committee Rulings pending further review. The ITC will consider the past Rulings while moving our Class Rules into the newer World Sailing Class Rules format. The IJ22CA ITC believes the Class Rules stand on their own. If you have a Class Rules question, please submit it in writing to the Technical Committee. You may also find the answer to your question in the Class Rules FAQ document found at this link http://www.j22.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Class-Rules-FAQ-2018.pdf.
