Ed 143 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 YNZ giveth and YNZ taketh away. My main interest is around what's changed to get cat 3 for the coastal: Changes I've spotted A securely installed watertank (No description of size, don't think this was a requirement before) No more parachute flares, no more white flares (just a signalling torch) Just red and orange smoke, no LED flares unfortunately Along with the hacksaw and 10 blades, we now also SHALL carry a hammer and drift, plus whatever we need to carry to cut the mast clear Echo sounder is now prescribed Anything else I've missed?

ScottiE 174 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 depth sounder - by the time your sounder picks up you're in 5' of water, your bow will have hit the impending rock face! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dambo 44 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not entirely related except as an example of WTF 12.4 © in Part 5 Cat A - this is for trailer boats and I note in the SI for the upcoming Gulf Classic Regatta - a requirement for all TY even if they're doing the short course/are Div C. boats. "Two red hand-held flares, two orange hand-held smoke torches and two parachute rockets." Ummmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 ask them not me! I say rain rain proof - they could say completely watertight when inverted, demonstrated by pressure testing the seal! Anyone got a 2010 or older version of the regs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
