INTRODUCTION

This English version of the SOTO 40-OD Class Rules has been implemented with

the mistakes found at the SOTO 40-OD version 2.0 valid from the 1st of January 2011, and published as a Fe de Erratas (Errandum) on February 1 st ,2011.

1 OBJECTIVES

The SOTO 40 O D is a high performance One Design racing yacht, created to highlightand ensure, above all, that the yachts be as identical as possible, to bring closer and tocontrol the professionalism and arms build-up, in which the determinant factor is thecrew capacity. To achieve these goals and to keep the yacht cost under control, theClass allows the sails and the sailing instruments to be of any type (as long as theymeet the Class Rules) whereas the rest of the original equipment that is given alongwith the yacht shall be the one stipulated in the yachts specifications and is not subjectto the owners choice.

The Class Rules are intended to ensure that SOTO 40 OD yachts are as identical aspossible in respect of:

Performance.

Hull and deck shape, weight, and distribution.

Interior, fit out, weight and distribution.

Shape and weight of keel and rudder.

Section, weight and center of gravity of spar

Size and weight of rigging.

Area and weight of sails.

These Class Rules are strict: anything that is not expressly permitted by theseRules is forbidden.

Remember: If these Rules do not say YOU CAN, then YOU CANNOT!

1.1 CLASSIFICATION

1.1.1 To the effects of regulating the composition of any S40 OD Crew Class it will beset as general principle that the crew shall be composed of members of Group 1 ofISAF.


5/54

www.soto40.org 5

Competitor grouping shall be determined by the ISAF Sailors Classification Code,except that no more than 5 (five) crew members may be of Group 3 according to theISAF Sailors Classification Code

1.1.2 APPLICATON FOR HELMSMAN

Prior to any regatta or Class event every helmsman shall submit his/her completedClass Application Form (Appendix 9) to the Management Group (MG) for prior approval(see 2.1.2).

Shall not be he lmsman any person who in the past 10 years:

Was a crew member in Americas Cups teams.

Participated in Olympic Competitions.

Was a crew member in the Volvo Ocean Race.

2 ADMINISTRATION

2.1 CLASS AUTHORITY

2.1.1 According to the SOTO 40 OD Class Bylaws, the Executive Committee is themaximum authority of the Class.

2.1.2 The Management Group (MG) is the executive board of the Class and shall beintegrated by:

two members of the Executive Committee, (one being the Vice-chairman of theClass presiding the MG)

a representative of the SOTO Acebal Studio,

a representative of the Builder?

a representative of World Sailing Management, and

two technical advisers selected by the Executive Committee.

The amendments in the Class Rules shall only be proposed by the ManagementGroup. These changes shall only be vetoed unanimously by the Executive Committeeand then accepted by a special majority voting by the Class members, just asestablished in the Class Association Bylaws.


6/54

www.soto40.org 6

2.1.3 The Management Group will appoint the Chief Measurer of the SOTO 40 ODClass.

2.2 LANGUAGE

The official language of the Class shall be English. The word shall is mandatory. Theword may is permissive. In the event of dispute, the English text shall prevail.

2.3 CLASS AS SOCIATION

To compete in SOTO 40 OD class regatta, all owners shall be members of the SOTO40 OD class. Dues shall be paid to the SOTO 40-OD Class Association by each ownerfor each boat they own. In the case of boats with multiple owners, the owner who paysthe dues has the right to vote. The class dues shall be of USD 1000 per year, and canbe reviewed by the Executive Committee.

2.4 CHARTERERS

A person who is not a member of the Class and rents a boat to participate in a SOTO40 OD class regatta (charterer from now on) shall pay the class dues established in2.3. Paying the dues does not provide voting rights.

Only Charterers who do not own a SOTO 40 OD will be able to acquire the sails

inventory described in 16.1 and the additional sails in 16.5, with a prior explicitauthorization of the MG.

It is of the Class concern to avoid any speculation granting the Charterers anycompetitive advantage over the owners.

2.5 OTHER FLEETS

In the case of large regional fleets or regattas of concern for the SOTO 40 OD Class,improvements and modifications shall be permitted to these Class Rules, as long asthey do not modify the Technical Specifications of the Boat.

These modifications shall be conditioned to the written endorsement of the MG.

The administrators of the regional fleets or events will be able to proceed by delegationof the MG to supervise the fulfilling of the Class Rules in their area or events.

16 SAILS

It is of the SOTO 40 OD class concern to limit its members campaign costs . As aconsequence it is especially important to limit the amount of sails of each boat, to

which some limits are established in terms of the type and number of sails that anowner may submit per year, and the number of sails that may be used in a competition.


26/54

www.soto40.org 26

16.1 ANNUAL LIMITATION AND TYPE OF SAIL

a) The owner of a SOTO 40 OD has the right to submit a maximum of 7new sailsper calendar year and per boat.

b) New sails shall not be different from:

1 Mainsail

2 Ge noas

1 Jib

3 Asymmetric spinnakers

16.2 STICKERS

The checking of declared new sails shall be through a sticker that the owner shallacquire from the class, prior payment of the respective amount.

So every owner has the right to acquire 7 stickers per calendar year per boat.

16.2.1 Stickers that were not used during the calendar year shall not be used in

following years.

16.2.2 Stickers are unique for each sail and not transferable among them (even in caseof tear).

16.2.3 Sails (stickers) shall be assigned to the boat, and, unless there was a writtenauthorization from the MG, they shall not be transferred from one boat to another(including boats of the same owner).

16.3 SAILS REQUIREMENTS

For a sail to receive a sticker it shall be measured and stamped (measurement stickergathering sail dimensions) according to the class rules and a request submitted beforethe end of the calendar year. In this case it will receive a sticker of the SOTO 40 ODclass that shall be placed near the tack on its starboard side.

16.4 DURING A REGATTA

16.4.1 The owner of a SOTO 40 OD may choose among all sails in his inventory (newor old sails) those sails that should consider more appropriate to compete in a classregatta, as long as their number and type do not exceed the ones indicated in point

16.4.2. Such sails shall have the class measurement stamp and the correspondingsticker to their submitted year.


27/54

www.soto40.org 27

16.4.2 The owner shall fill in and sign the sails and crew submit (Appendix 5) prior to aclass regatta, where the owner shall state the sails to be used (with the respective

sticker), that shall not overcome the following sails:a) 1 Mainsail

b) 2 Genoas

c) 1 Jib

d) 3 Asymm etric spinnakers

16.4.3 All sails submitted for a regatta/event shall be on board from the boats first raceuntil the last one. No sail shall be removed from a boat without previous authorization

of the event measurer or the class representative.

16.4.4 Sails submitted for a regatta shall be not changed nor modified during theregatta.

Torn sails may be repaired or repl aced according to the Measurers judgement. If a sailis replaced, the new sail shall only be one carrying the class measurement stamp andthe respective sticker corresponding to its submitted year and shall not be in betterconditions than the replaced sail. This last issue shall be according to the Measurersjudgement.

16.5 ADDITIONAL SAILS

Notwithstanding rule 16.1, each owner has the right to declare a certain number ofadditional sails (additional stickers), according to the number of races of the officialSOTO 40 OD class calendar in which has participated with the same boat and duringthe same year:

(a) After 10 races sailed 1 additional sticker(b) After 30 races sailed 1 additional sticker(c) After 50 races sailed 1 additional sticker

(d) After 70 races sailed 1 additional stickerTo access to these additional stickers, the owner shall complete and submit theadditional sails form (Appendix 10) to the chief measurer for his approval.

Restrictions for the type of sails are not established for additional stickers, except forthe ones stated in 16.3
