Santana Skippers,
Here's a section from the Cal 20 By-Laws. We might look at it as a
model for any changes we might want to make for our By-Laws
concerning who can enter/skipper in races. Notice V.5.

ARTICLE V - MEMBERSHIP
1. An ACTIVE Member has the privileges of holding office, voting
and may skipper a Cal 20 in sanctioned races. He or she must be a
Corinthian and at least a one third owner of a Cal 20. Active
Membership is extended to the spouse and immediate dependent family
members. A Cal 20 skipper shall join the Association through a Fleet
on whose waters he or she normally sails. Active Membership is
retained until the end of the year in which he or she ceases to own a
Cal 20.
2. An UNATTACHED Member must meet all the requirements for Active
Membership except that he or she is not within the territory of a
chartered Fleet. Unattached Members are entitled to all privileges of
Active Members except Fleet representation. Unattached Membership is
not offered to Cal 20 owners in a locality in which there are three
or more Cal 20s in close enough proximity to permit racing together.
3. An ASSOCIATE Member is a Corinthian who regularly crews on a
Cal 20 but is not a Cal 20 owner. He or she cannot vote, hold office
or represent the Fleet as a skipper, but may as a crew.
4. A SUSTAINING Member is usually a non-owner of a Cal 20, who
joins the Association because of an interest in the welfare of the
class. He or she may not vote, hold office, or represent a Fleet.
5. A SPECIAL Member may skipper a Cal 20 in sanctioned races even
though he or she is not an owner of a Cal 20. These memberships are
granted individually at the sole discretion of the Association's
Board of Directors to people from non-profit organizations who use
Cal 20s for community betterment programs. The Board of Directors may
rescind a special membership at any time.
6. A member cannot belong to more than one Fleet, nor can a Cal
20 be registered in more than one Fleet.
