Which rules on the books do you nullify?


A class Championship rule.

"16. RADIO COMMUNICATIONS: No transmitting equipment, radio receivers and portable phones shall be carried on board of any competing boat."

I carry a handheld on my person.

Tradewinds
13. COMMUNICATION
Competitors shall not make or receive radio or mobile telephone transmissions while racing.

I would not hesitate to use hand held to notify RC over a safety issue and would NOT RAF the race.

US Sailing /USCG prescription on boats over 16 feet must have a throwable.

I don't now and I know of no A cat that does..... (if the fleet culture changed and the majority choose to comply... I would also comply and bitch about it)

Tradewinds
11.1. In accordance with US Sailing Regulation 10.01 D USE OF PERSONAL FLOTATION, “Competitors...shall wear a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved personal flotation device (PFD) while on the water, other than for brief periods while adding or removing clothing”. Failure to comply with this rule can result in disqualification as deemed appropriate by the protest committee.

I don't know if my current Lotus PFD is CE or CG approved. I choose the gear that works best for my safety.

Any other rules that you choose to nullify?
