E1.1
| Terminology
‘Boat’ means a boat that is radio-controlled by a competitor who is not on
board. For ‘race’ used as a noun outside this appendix and Appendix A read
‘heat’. Within this appendix, a race consists of one or more heats, and is
completed when the last heat in the race is finished. An ‘event’ consists of one
or more races. A ‘series’ consists of a specified number of races or events.
|
E1.2
| Race Signals
Race Signals do not apply. All signals shall be given orally or by other sounds
described in this appendix.
|
E1.3
| Definitions
- Add to the definition Interested Party ‘but not a competitor when acting as
an observer’.
-
Delete the definition Two-Length Zone and add a new definition,
Four-Length Zone: ‘The area around a mark or obstruction within a
distance of four hull lengths of the boat nearer to it.’ Wherever
‘two-length zone’ is used in rule 18 replace it with ‘four-length zone’.
|
E1.4
| Personal Buoyancy
Rule 1.2 is replaced with ‘When on board a rescue vessel, each competitor shall
be responsible for wearing personal buoyancy adequate for the conditions.’
