The "unenforceable" part could be resolved, but likely won't be.

At the Newport meeting in the spring, I pointed out during the rules meeting the language that the IHCA uses (Class Rule 26), which requires one IHCA member per boat. This is much simpler to enforce than each person who touches the helm. (Forget about how to know if someone is a member, that's another issue entirely.)

Jim didn't get it (at all), and some other major players in the room liked the concept, but appararently thought that was too easy and started changing the verbiage. I reiterated several times that they really need to keep it simple to have any chance of success, but I don't think they were listening after the first few tries...
