Is it permissible to change mould and tooling to change the hull to deck join without obtaining World Sailing Approval?

• The Class Rules INTRODUCTION applies. Equipment is required to comply with the International Etchells Building Specification and is subject to a World Sailing/ISAF approved manufacturing control system.
• No, it is not permitted.

If no, does a boat from the resulting mould comply with the Class Rules?

• No, it would not comply.
