If you haven’t already had your Yacht Category 7 Safety inspection completed (and passed) then time is fast running out and you need to take action now.
You have until this coming SATURDAY to have your boat inpsected and passed, after which you must have passed the Category 7 inspection before being eligible to accrue points in any further club pointscore races. To book your yacht in for an inspection contact Doug Wilson today on 0411 372 105 to arrange an inspection time for this Saturday morning (between 9am and midday). Arranging the inspection of yachts is the responsibility of the owner/skipper, so if your boat is not ready for inspection this Saturday, you will need to make alternative arrangements with a club safety auditor at a mutually agreeable time prior to competeing in your next race.
Category 7 Safety information and documentation is available from the Yacht page of the website, and YA Blue Books can be purchased from the club at cost price ($35).
Category 7 is a very basic requirement that is not onerous to meet, and compliance by all yachts helps to ensure the safety of all sailors.
Don’t put it off any longer …. book your safety inspection now. If you have any queries about the process then please read the Category 7 Safety documents on the website. If you have any specific queries not covered in these documents, please give Doug Wilson or one of the other club safety auditors a call to discuss.
