20 DISCLAIMER

20.1. A boat is entirely responsible for her own safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing, whether

in the Notice of Regatta or Sailing Instructions or anywhere else, reduces this responsibility. It is

for the boat to decide whether it is fit to sail in the conditions in which it will find itself. By

launching or going to sea, the boat confirms that it is fit for those conditions and its crew is

competent to sail and compete in them.

20.2. The boat is responsible to ensure that it is equipped and seaworthy so as to be able to face

extremes of weather; that there is a crew sufficient in number, experience and fitness to

withstand such weather; and that the safety equipment is properly maintained, stowed and in

date and that the crew knows how to use it. The fact that the Race Committee may conduct an

inspection of a boat does not reduce the responsibilities of the boat set out in this paragraph.

20.3. Nothing done by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the boat nor will it make the

organisers responsible for any loss, damage, death or personal injury, however it might have

occurred, as a result of the boat taking part in the racing. The organisers encompass everyone

helping to run the race and the event, and include the Organising Authority, the Race Committee,

the race officers, patrol boats, beachmasters and sponsors jointly and severally. The provision of

patrol boats does not relieve the boat of her responsibilities.

21. SPECIAL RULES

a) Between local sunset and sunrise navigation lights shall be lit and RRS Sections A, B & C of Part 2 will cease to apply and will be replaced by Part B: Steering and Sailing Rules of IRPCS. For the purposes of the race, sunset shall be deemed to be no later than 1800 hours and sunrise shall be deemed to be no earlier than 0630 hours.

b) A boat’s engine may be used for propulsion during racing in the following circumstances (Rule 42.3 (f) & (h)):

i) To rescue life and / or craft.

ii) A tall ship restricted in her ability to manoeuvre during tacking and gybing. This action shall not be used to provide material gain during the race.

iii) To remove a craft out of the path of a commercial vessel. The onus is on the skipper to satisfy the protest committee that such an action was necessary and provided no material gain during the race.

iv) All such circumstances, except (ii), shall be logged and signed by the skipper and one crew and reported in the Race Declaration Form

22 INSURANCE

Each participating boat shall be insured with adequate valid third-party liability insurance cover.

• If of an inflatable type either (a) automatic, manual and oral inflation or (b) manual and oral inflation

Notes: ISO 12402 requires Level 150 lifejackets to be fitted with a mandatory whistle and retro-reflective material. Also, when fitted with a safety harness, ISO 12402 requires that this shall be the full safety harness in accordance with ISO 12401. Any equivalent lifejacket shall have equal requirements. Persons of larger than average build are generally more buoyant than those of average build and so do not require a lifejacket with greater levels of flotation. Wearing a Level 275 lifejacket may hamper entry into liferafts. b) fitted with either a crotch strap(s) / thigh straps or a full safety harness in accordance with ISO 12401, Note: The function of lifejacket crotch/thigh straps is to hold the buoyancy element down. A crew member before a race should adjust a lifejacket to fit then retain that lifejacket for the duration of the race. Correct adjustment is fundamental to the lifejacket functioning correctly. c) fitted with a lifejacket light in accordance with SOLAS LSA code 2.2.3 (white, >0.75 candelas, >8 hours), d) if inflatable have a compressed gas inflation system, e) if inflatable, regularly checked for gas retention, f) compatible with the wearer's safety harness, g) clearly marked with the yacht's or wearer's name, j) It is strongly recommended that a lifejacket has a splashguard /sprayhood See ISO 2402 – 8, 5.01.4 The person in charge shall personally check each lifejacket at least once annually. 5.02 Safety Harness and Safety Lines (Tethers) MoMu0,1,2,3 5.02.1 Each crew member shall have a harness and safety line that complies with ISO 12401 or equivalent with a safety line not more than 2m in length. Harnesses and safety lines manufactured prior to Jan 2010 shall comply with either ISO 12401 or EN 1095. Harnesses and safety lines manufactured prior to Jan 2001 are not permitted. a) Warning it is possible for a plain snaphook to disengage from a U bolt if the hook is rotated under load at right-angles to the axis of the U-bolt. For this reason the use of snaphooks with positive locking devices is strongly recommended. 5.02.2 At least 30% of the crew shall each, in addition to the above be provided with either: a) a safety line not more than 1m long, or b) a mid-point snaphook on a 2m safety line 5.02.3 A safety line purchased in January 2001 or later shall have a coloured flag embedded in the stitching, to indicate an overload. A line which has been overloaded shall be replaced as a matter of urgency. 5.02.4 A crew member's lifejacket and harness shall be compatible


www.csc.org.sg 11


5.02.5 It is strongly recommended that: a) static safety lines should be securely fastened at work stations; b) A harness should be fitted with a crotch strap or thigh straps. c) to draw attention to wear and damage, stitching on harness and safety lines should be of a colour contrasting strongly with the surrounding material; d) snaphooks should be of a type which will not self-release from a U-bolt (see OSR 5.02.1(a)) and which can be easily released under load (crew members are reminded that a personal knife may free them from a safety line in emergency); e) a crew member before a race should adjust a harness to fit then retain that harness for the duration of the race. 5.02.6 Warning - a safety line and safety harness are not designed to tow a person in the water and it is important that the shortest safety line length possible be used with a harness to minimise or eliminate the risk of a person's torso becoming immersed in water outside the boat, especially when working on the foredeck. 1m safety lines or the midpoint snaphook on a 2m line should be used for this purpose. The diligent use of a properly adjusted safety harness and the shortest safety line practicable is regarded as by far the most effective way of preventing man overboard incidents.

Notes: ISO 12402 requires Level 150 lifejackets to be fitted with a mandatory whistle and retro-reflective material. Also, when fitted with a safety harness, ISO 12402 requires that this shall be the full safety harness in accordance with ISO 12401. Any equivalent lifejacket shall have equal requirements. Persons of larger than average build are generally more buoyant than those of average build and so do not require a lifejacket with greater levels of flotation. Wearing a Level 275 lifejacket may hamper entry into liferafts. b) fitted with either a crotch strap(s) / thigh straps or a full safety harness in accordance with ISO 12401, Note: The function of lifejacket crotch/thigh straps is to hold the buoyancy element down. A crew member before a race should adjust a lifejacket to fit then retain that lifejacket for the duration of the race. Correct adjustment is fundamental to the lifejacket functioning correctly. c) fitted with a lifejacket light in accordance with SOLAS LSA code 2.2.3 (white, >0.75 candelas, >8 hours), d) if inflatable have a compressed gas inflation system e) if inflatable, regularly checked for gas retention f) compatible with the wearer's safety harness g) clearly marked with the yacht's or wearer's name j) It is strongly recommended that a lifejacket has a splashguard / sprayhood See ISO 12402 – 8 5.01.4 The person in charge shall personally check each lifejacket at least once annually. 5.02 Safety Harness and Safety Lines (Tethers) MoMu0,1,2,3 5.02.1 Each crew member shall have a harness and safety line that complies with ISO 12401 or quivalent with a safety line not more than 2m in length. Harnesses and safety lines manufactured prior to Jan 2010 shall comply with either ISO 12401 or EN 1095. Harnesses and safety lines manufactured prior to Jan 2001 are not permitted. a) Warning it is possible for a plain snaphook to disengage from a U bolt if the hook is rotated under load at right-angles to the axis of the U-bolt. For this reason the use of snaphooks with positive locking devices is strongly recommended. 5.02.2 At least 30% of the crew shall each, in addition to the above be provided with either; a) a safety line not more than 1m long, b) a mid-point snaphook on a 2m safety line 5.02.3 A safety line purchased in January 2001 or later shall have a coloured flag embedded in the stitching, to indicate an overload. A line which has been overloaded shall be replaced as a matter of urgency. 5.02.4 A crew member's lifejacket and harness shall be compatible 5.02.5 It is strongly recommended that:- a) static safety lines should be securely fastened at work stations; b) A harness should be fitted with a crotch strap or thigh straps. c) to draw attention to wear and damage, stitching on harness and safety lines should be of a colour contrasting strongly with the surrounding material; d) snaphooks should be of a type which will not self-release from a U-bolt (see OSR 5.02.1(a)) and which can be easily released under load (crew members are reminded that a personal knife may free them from a safety line in emergency); e) a crew member before a race should adjust a harness to fit then retain that harness for the duration of the race. 5.02.6 Warning - a safety line and safety harness are not designed to tow a person in the water and it is important that the shortest safety line length possible be used with a harness to minimise or eliminate the risk of a person's torso becoming immersed in water outside the boat, especially when working on the foredeck. 1m safety lines or the midpoint snaphook on a 2m line should be used for this purpose. The diligent use of a properly adjusted safety harness and the shortest safety line practicable is regarded as by far the most effective way of preventing man overboard incidents.
