Pre-Selection of Athletes

The committee have been asked whether there is a policy of preselection of an athlete for an  international event(s).  THERE IS NOT.

Apparently there is concern that the selection panel have already ‘preselected’ their team for certain events despite having only had the benefit of seeing performances at one of a number planned  assessment events.   We can confirm that teams are selected as per the policy statements previously made. A continuous assessment policy is used and no automatic places are granted.

Amended Rule on Bouyancy in Boats

 

Rule 5 a i) SAFETY - Competitor responsibility has been amended as follows.

Competitors must render their boats sufficiently buoyant to remain afloat and to support the crew in rough water in the event of capsize. No boat will be deemed to be sufficiently buoyant purely as a result of its construction (e.g. vac bagged/ sandwich or other construction) to fulfill this requirement, additional buoyancy will be required in the form of foam, air bags and/or sealed bulkheads.

Please Note ** This  change leaves those competitors who do not comply with this rule, possibly being refused access to the water by race organisers and being unable to partake in an event, or being disqualified. **
