13.11 (K) Storm coverings shall be fitted for all windows more than 1852cm2 in area. Required Cat 1,2. Recommend Cat 3. Although the 2017 - 2020 rules this was REQUIRED 1,2 AND 3. Carpe Diem has had 4 Cat 3 certificates and never had storm coverings or even been quizzed about this? Am I misinterpreting this requirement? How do other boats meet this?1 point

Drogue/spinnaker bag with lines through blocks on the beam and bought to the aft winches. I was actually surprised at how well this worked when we practiced it. Most of the wheel steered syd/hob boats have a carbon fibre moulded rudder with pintels attached to the stern ready to have it clipped in place.1 point

On the 1050 they aren't full size as per how it looks on the outside as the glass is supported with a divider (don't know the technical term) from the inside.1 point

I'd rather have the limit increased to 18 knots.... 12 knots is the absolute worst possible speed to choose as most launch's aren't quite planing so at at maximum possible wake creation speed. Either slower or faster is better!1 point
