ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing
ISAF, 13 December 2005
Following the ISAF Annual Conference in Singapore there has been a
change to the ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing 2005-2008, meaning Rule 40.2
relating to quick release trapeze harnesses will not take effect until 1
January 2009.
The change approved by the ISAF Council on 12 November in Singapore is
as follows.
|
40.2
|
A
trapeze or hiking harness shall have a device that can quickly release
the competitor from the boat at any time while in use.
|
|
|
Note: This rule takes effect on 1 January 2006 1 January
2009.
|
This change to Rule 40.2 will apply immediately and effectively means
that Rule 40.2 will not take effect before the new edition of the Racing
Rules of Sailing (2009-2012) will be published.
ISAF continues to work on safety improvements and will publish
further information about safety issues in January 2006 on www.sailing.org.
