Ok Im confused.......
<br>
<br>I can't sail here from any club without lifejackets (for each person on board).. Its part of the clubs duty of care safety rules.. Also part of AYF rules of racing.. Class of floatation device IS specified..
<br>
<br>Some way to attach a towing line in case of serious problem with the boat or crew.. Club and I believe AYF racing rule requirement..
<br>
<br>In general those who sail offshore have a list of required (yes legal penalties apply if not carried) safety items.. On the river in my normal winds Im not sure anyone would hear a whistle.. But then its only 2 miles across and one could just wait to be blown ashore..
<br>
<br>Given these already strong race requirements.. Why do we need to duplicate these items rules in a set of class rules?????????????? <br><br>
