Safety

Each skipper is responsible for the safety of their boat and crew. If conditions are such that you are uncomfortable then decision to sail or not rests solely with you. The rally organizers do not intend to encourage avoidable discomfort by sailing in unsuitable conditions, rather to organize alternative entertainment ashore for participants in the case of inclement weather.
If you are separated from the fleet or observe a vessel in difficulty, please inform Roy Johnston by SMS at 087 238 5389 or on the VHF working channel, CH 72.
