MEASUREMENT

  • All competitors should have completed a Scrutineering form comfirming they are conforming to class requirements. There may be spot checks so have your completed forms to hand.
  • Competitors will just be asked to show their certificate of measurement, mentioning the sails they will be using as declared on the Scrutineering form.
  • During the regatta, competitors may be asked to show that their boat and themselves have the standard class safety equipment, as well as the specific event safety equipment (VHF).

 

JURY

  • There will be one jury boat on water at all races, with 2 umpires on board.
  • They will do what they call "semi-direct" arbitration: arbitrate directly on water all faults and protests they witness and can judge, the rest being judged on land according to usual process.
