2018 North American Check list

Post by Bengt J »

Below is the inspection list the Technical Committee has developed for the 2018 North American Championship. The list is a tool for owners to prepare boats for inspection and at the event check boats for rule compliance. Sails must be registered in advance on the event sail tag registration form.
This list is considered minimum requirements and we strongly suggest each owner look in detail at the new safety regulations (WS OSR app B) also included in this posting.
