In general, the requirements and recommendations put in place by the BOR Committee are for the safety of yachtsmen and their crew and for the efficient operations of the race. Items that are required are specified as such for a good reason. Items that are strongly recommended are also given such a distinction for a good reason. The safety of the crew is the responsibility of each skipper, so we hope you will take wise decisions on behalf of you and your crew. We offer recommendations to help you make good choices.
