just checked the A class regs.. not mentioned.. neither could I find it in the Tornado rules. (didnt spend a lot of time searching) <br>Is it in the Tiapan rules? Stealth? Its definately not in the other International skiff classes I know.. <br> <br>As for the safety aspect.. I know of a few very experienced sailors who drowned when their trap hooks snagged wires.. perhaps we should look at also carrying wire cutters? <br><br><br>
