How can everyone help? Thought it was clear enough above:

1. Read the attached link.

2. Reflect upon how your club/regattas/class plan and execute safety.

3. Reply here (or email/PM me if you prefer) with suggestions, questions, comments, etc.

4. Volunteer to serve on our new working committee.

Regarding the PFD issue: As you know, this is complex and highly political, with strong supporters and valid data on both sides. There has been some progress, but my understanding is that this has been on the certification side, and that the USCG regulation and associated US Sailing Rx is not directly affected. We should clarify this in our final safety guidelines (pitfalls of perceived loopholes for NORs and SIs in this area).
