A lot of the prohibitions are standard RYA prohibitions  from when the Class was started and are common across other Development Classes , they were designed to keep the boats Simple !!!.

Hydraulics and Pneumatic systems were banned for similar reasons. I recollect that a Hydraulic system to control rig tension and mast rake was used on a 505 many years ago but I think it was banned or didn't operate too well. 
I don't think or recollect of Hydraulic or  similar system being used  tried out om Twelve.

Sometimes  some of the Classic definitions have been used to prove or disprove the legality of a feature.  like the Daggerboard on Jo Richards Bouncer in the 70's

[really]

With just over 3 weeks to the start of Burton week at Felixstowe Ferry it would really help our planning to get remaining entries in. Please, we would love not to have a last minute rush, so get your entry in now.

In particular if you want to be sure of getting tickets for the Burton Week Dinner the caterers need to know numbers as early as possible, they have to buy the food in advance!!  So book that with your entry.

Don't forget that if you want to camp at the Club it would help if you book in advance.

See national12.org/burtonweek/2022/ for all the details.

Dave the second grommet  is not legal. ( all attachments, must be in close proximity to the Head tack or Clew)
The jib pole line should be attached to the clew cringle.
Because jibs tend to deteriorate quicker than mainsails, when you have a choice of jibs, it better to use an older one when it is very windy.
The jib with the extra cringle has a very wide head which was legal at  the time it was measured but  the width of the the head has now been limited to 100mm under the current rules.
The very wide head tends loose its efficiency after a while.
