Here are a number of good reasons why you should join the Miracle Association ....

(or rejoin if you are a lapsed member):

• If you want to ensure that the value of your Miracle stays as high as possible, give us your support and join the Association...
  This is because we look after the interests of all Miracle owners, whether cruising or racing, by controlling measurement rules and ensuring that the one-design concept of the Miracle class is maintained.

• We do this whilst ensuring that worthwhile revisions to the rules enhance ease of handling and safety, whilst further development in new materials is continually investigated. In this way older boats are not rendered out of date nor inferior, and can continue to compete on equal terms economically, whilst maintaining their market value.

• If you would like to know about the latest developments in the class and the coming events, you should join the Association...
  We publish a magazine Halo four times a year, and maintain this website, keeping you informed about developments in the class and providing a medium for the exchange of comments, questions and answers. It is here that we publish updates of the Association rules, an events calendar and general information.

• For advice on rigging and tuning your Miracle or would just like to get closer to the front of the fleet, you need to join the Association...
  
  
• Halo frequently includes articles on rigging and tuning and also advice from top sailors on racing technique. This gives you access to the considerable knowledge of Miracle sailors and other experts on many aspects of Miracle building, sailing and maintenance, and is invaluable to both novices and the more experienced.

• If you want to hold a valid measurement certificate or get your boat measured, you must be a member of the Association...
  
  
• It is an Association rule that a measurement certificate can only be issued to a member of the Association and will only remain valid whilst held by a member.
• It is highly desirable that all boats competing in club racing hold a valid measurement certificate to ensure that boats compete on equal terms - many clubs make this a membership requirement.
• It is always in your best interest to hold a valid certificate - it is after all, the only unequivocal proof that your boat really is a Miracle through and through. Should you eventually wish to sell your boat, it will ensure that the resale value is maintained, and will make selling it much easier.

• To enter open meetings or championships, you should join the Association...
  
  
• Most clubs running open meetings prefer competitors to be Association members, as we do in our Area and Inland events. It is essential at the National Championships.
