Question 11:
The following question was previously posted on the class website and has been considered by the Technical Officer ahead of posting to CMS.
Can a boat be dived during a regatta?
It depends.
Class rule C.5.4(b) and (c) control when a boat can be cleaned by a person entering the water.
In a regatta of 3 days or less, a boat cannot be cleaned by a person entering the water except to remove weed or to check for damage.
During a regatta longer than 3 days, a boat may be cleaned by a person entering the water (with or without breathing apparatus) on the 4th and every even day thereafter (day 4, 6 and 8 etc).
