Scrutineering
/ Safety Compliance Form & Declaration If you are unable to open PDF files, all download files are available upon request in either Word or Excel format. Please contact Alex Johnston if you require assistance. Dear
Person in Charge, Thanks
for your entry for the Rolex China Sea Race 2010. The
scrutineering will be a two-stage process. The initial stage will be the
Safety Checklist and the second stage will be the official scrutineer’s
check. The
Chief Scrutineer for the Rolex China Sea Race 2010 is Mr. Nigel Reeves. He
or one of his team will contact you directly as to when your yacht will be
inspected. Initially
every yacht should arrange for the Person in charge and a suitably
experienced sailor from another yacht entered in the race to go through
the Safety Checklist provided by the Sailing Office. This form should be
completed and then signed off by the Person-in-charge of the yacht and
then submitted to the Sailing Office by Friday 05th March 2010, listing any non-compliance with
the ISAF Offshore Special Regulations Cat 1 Regulations/RORC prescriptions
along with the Safety Compliance Form & Declaration and Crew
Experience form. It
is highly recommended that at least 30% of the crew is present for this
check, as it will help everyone with their knowledge of the yacht and her
equipment. Early return of forms before the deadline date will be
extremely helpful to the Sailing Office and Boatyard if items of
non-compliance require to be corrected. Secondly
an Official Scrutineer will be assigned to each yacht to come and check
that all items of non-compliance from the Cat 1 Regulations have been
corrected. The Scrutineer may choose to check all equipment, so please
allow enough time for this. Again it is recommended that your crew are
present for this inspection, especially if they were not available for the
initial Safety Checklist inspection. This inspection is likely to take
place in the two weeks before the race start or earlier if yachts are
ready, so that you are able to load such items as Emergency Water
etc. This
may seem to be extra work; however this process will help increase the
crew's understanding of the yacht and equipment on board. In the end all
this exists ultimately for safety of the yacht and her crew. Both
the scrutineering checklist and the safety compliance form are attached.
Please note that the scrutineering checklist is merely a checklist and is
not the full ISAF Offshore Special Regulations list and you should not
rely on this to get your boat ready. Please also note that the official
scrutineer may wish to check other items not on this list. The full list
is available on the page on the Rolex China Sea Race 2010 website under
the Scrutineering section: www.rolexchinasearace.com Should
you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me on Tel: 2239
