Question
Does rule
50.1(a) permit a competitor to wear or otherwise attach to his person a beverage container while racing?
Answer
No. Except on a windsurfer or a kiteboard, there is no necessity for such a practice, and therefore its primary purpose must be considered to be to increase the competitor's weight. (Note that rules
B4 and
F4 modify rule
50.1(a) for windsurfing competition and kiteboard racing.)
