Since I bought my last RORC flare pack the regulations for Cat 2 Monohull appear to have removed the requirement for parachute flares...
Floating smoke flares also appear to have disappeared from the requirement.
2016-17 World Sailing Offshore regulations changes
OSR 4.23 Pyrotechnic signals (Distress flares) has been amended to remove the requirement for the carriage of parachute distress flares.
This leaves just 4 red and 2 hand smoke in the requirement but our local chandlery (as do most online) still only appear to sell the original full packs..
Has anyone seen packs for sale that meet just the new requirement since our local chandlery don't appear to sell flares singularly?
