This forum is an avenue to raise considerations for the next edition of the regulations (2021 - 2024). If you have more immediate concerns, contact Angus Willison at angus@yachtingnz.org.nz.

Just a heads up, I won't be giving any direct answers to requests for change - I'm not a subject matter expert on some of this stuff. What I'll do is take your feedback, constructive criticism, suggested amendments and reasoning, then put it to the group (led by Angus Willison, our Safety and Technical Officer), who will consider all the information for the new regulations. Anything that is a serious safety concern can be addressed prior to the new regulations in 2021 and an amendment issued if warranted. Andrew

If this thread can remain constructive and sensible, then it can provide some valuable feedback from this community, which we can feed into the review of the regulations.

I have gone ahead and added links to the Recreational section, which should hopefully help people find the information easier.

It's still available, and still free... https://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/racing/safety-regulations There is also a copy of the inspector checklist which you can download, here: https://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/racing/safety-inspections

What is being proposed is a draft as part of the Draft Marlborough Environment Plan. YNZ have made a submission which can be found here: http://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/advocacy/ynz-submissions Northland Regional Council are currently reviewing their Regional Plan and have introduced some draft rules around sewage which don't seem practical. We are currently preparing feedback on their draft, submissions close on Friday. This may be of interest to some of you (an update on some of the recent advocacy work being done at YNZ): http://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/news/201609/ynz-working-to-get-pl
