[Alberg30] Class Rules

[Bill Blevins]

So technically, when racing PHRF, where you are required to remain
consistent with the A30 fleet rules, you couldn't do that either it seems.
One could probably argue the "for sail changes" part I guess when using it
to go wing on wing and not changing the genoa.
