Said Created: Today 11:11There have been several incidents in Ireland in which racing has been organised without fulfilling the minimal requirements to ensure that RRS apply.
What do you consider those 'minimal requirements' are?
The minimal requirements are set out in App J. However, these rule set out the contents, not the format of race documents
The main items can be set out in a set of standard race documents applying to all club racing.
I struggle to envisage any circumstance in which I would be comfortable with boats entering an event without explicitly declaring in writing that they agree that the RRS govern the event. In our club the boat registration form is deemed to be the entry form for all club racing.
If it were me presented with that ambiguity I think I’d come down that the text description governed over the diagram. The diagram is drawn as it is for simplicity and shows that a boat may take 1a to port but the text says she doesn’t have to.
