Could some/most of the contents of a liferaft be transferred to a grab bag? ie a Cat 1 grab bag rather than a Cat 1 liferaft? It would simplify and therefore reduce the servicing costs (which are rediculous) and give more affordable options for filling the grab bag with the appropriate gear for the intended use. It would also give users the opportunity to replace the food/water/batteries etc more often.
It is getting to the point where liferafts are becoming a disposable item for offshore sailing which really doesn’t fit in this age of reduce, re-use, recycle. YNZ, any thoughts on this?
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.

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.

Oops, my bad, didn't think to look under "Racing". Best I buy something made from carbon fibre, paint it a shade of fluorescent and get with the program....
I have gone ahead and added links to the Recreational section, which should hopefully help people find the information easier.

There is a template of sorts in the YNZ Safety Regulations of Sailing. I downloaded a free copy some time ago, looking for it now seems they want $23. To help keep you safe. And their lavish lifestyle paid for. Grrr.
It's still available, and still free...

There is also a copy of the inspector checklist which you can download, here:

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):
