<br>
<br>Yes, can we leave the part "in event of capsize" out ? Otherwise they can say we didn't capsize but pitchpole and went turtle. How about :
<br>
<br>"Each boat must have a suitable means of being righted by its crew". The F16HP authority shall be the judge with respect to what is suitable and what isn't and with "crew" is meant the skipper in the 1-up configuration.
<br>
<br>Currently accepted methodes are :
<br>
<br>-1- a non slippery righting line of min. 10 mm diameter and min. length of 4 mtr.
<br>-2- a rightingpole bla bla bla (min length and way of fixing)
<br>
<br>(end quote)
<br>
<br>I would like to see a little more strikt wording to avoid long and damaging arguments about righting systems.
<br>
<br>How about it ?
