[Alberg30] Class Rules

[George Dinwiddie]

It's really worth reading the bylaws in the Handbook, Part II of which 
covers the fleet racing rules.

It says, "All genoa jibs shall be fitted with snaphooks, all of which 
when the sail is set, must be attached to the jub stay.  Exception: the 
use of roller fuling jibs is permitted when racing.  The double groove 
furling gear may not be used as a head foil for sail changes when racing."

So you can use roller furling, but you've got to choose your sail prior 
to the race and stick with it throughout the race.  Flying two jibs on 
the two tracks isn't a roller-furling setup, and, as I read the rules, 
wouldn't be allowed.
