| Life-jacket/PFD All participants to regattas are encouraged to
wear approved life-jackets in appropriate conditions. Skippers and crew are individually
responsible for their own personal safety. Considerations such as wind strength, wave
height, air and water temperature, general weather conditions, swimming and boat-handling
ability, the wearing of foul-weather gear (which might impair swimming ability) and other
such factors should be weighed in an individuals decision to wear or not to wear a
life-jacket.
All racers are reminded of Rule
40 of the Racing Rules of Sailing which reads as follows: "When flag
Y is displayed with one sound before or with the warning signal, competitors shall wear
life-jackets or other adequate personal buoyancy. Wet suits and dry suits are not adequate
personal buoyancy."

Y flag
While use of life-jackets is
mandatory when the Code Y flag is displayed, racers should obviously feel free to
decide in favor of wearing life-jackets regardless of whether the Code Y flag is
displayed. |
