All,
As NEISA Commisioner of Boats and Safety I thought it might be good to
remind everyone of Procedural Rule 13.There seems to be a growing trend
of Gul, Henri-Lloyd, Zhik etc lifies being worn by college sailors. I
know they are comfy and you could argue that at the big regattas you
will wear a legal one, but why not practice in the one you have to wear
at qualifiers and nationals. Oh and by the way people will protest you
for it at qualifiers if a spot is at stake.
c) *Personal Flotation Devices* -- Inherently buoyant personal
flotation devices (USCG Certified Non-Inflatable Type III or Type V, or
conforming to the appropriate governmental regulations of the country
where the competing college is located) shall be worn by all competitors
while on the water. PFDs shall be worn outside all clothing and foul
weather gear, except that a thin tee shirt or uniform pinnies/bibs may
be worn over the PFD to prevent snagging on lines and equipment. PFDs
are not required when ashore or on objects attached to shore. PR 13(c)
shall be enforced at all times, in all ICSA regattas. (PR 13(c) changes
RRS 40 and the Part 4 preamble.)
