Hey I was reading the rules and found this.
C.4.1 MANDATORY
The crew shall wear a personal floatation device to the minimum standard
EN393, ISO 12402-5 (CE 50 Newtons), USCG Type III, or AUS PFD 2.
Does this mean we can wear our Zhik life jackets now since they meet the CE50 Newtons rule? Why do some race rules say you have to wear a USCG approved life jacket instead of just saying you have to follow the USCG rules. My 2 points are
1. If you come from anywhere other than the US you can wear one of the approved
life jackets above, but not if you live in the US.
2. You could carry 2 USCG approved life jackets on your boat but wear one of the
approved above which would meet the USCG rules.
