ballystick 20 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 What safety category is this race and how are these categories determined? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 104 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 It’s Cat 3 plus You must carry a life raft (dinghy on deck is NOT acceptable) 33% of your crew must have a current advanced sea survival certificate. Sat phones I think are recommended but not mandatory The catagory classification is usually determined by a conversation between the organising committee, YNZ and maybe the solas(?) committee. There are broad guidelines but you can make tweaks like this race and the coastal have done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 20 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Thanks Ed, it can get pretty rough out there and it's good to see that sort of consideration being enforced. I hope everyone has a nice trip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chariot 147 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Any finishers yet. Would be tough coming back up to Colville and not pleasant in the channel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 786 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Bit of carnage at the start this morning, blown sails, one dismasting (start me up). Fresh breeze well aft going down, might not be so good coming back, likely upwind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
