Hi,
I'm trying to prep my boat (Dehler 34) for an offshore race and and I'm a little confused about the RORC regulations regarding companionways and hatches. Does anyone know the position regarding standard weatherboards?
The regs state:
3.08.4 A companionway hatch shall:
a) be fitted with a strong securing arrangement which shall be operable from the exterior and interior including when the yacht is inverted
b) have any blocking devices
i) capable of being retained in position with the hatch open or shut
ii) whether or not in position in the hatchway, secured to the yacht (e.g. by lanyard) for the duration of the race, to prevent their being lost overboard
iii) permit exit in the event of inversion
Thanks!
