No, I was asking a question. Opening a line of discussion.

What is the insurance at a regatta for, and would it be jepeordized if they did not (at least in writing) mandate you follow the law.

Enforcement is another matter.

The Chicago race covers this by putting the list out and stating you must comply.

I remember in the 80's we all used to have throwables strapped down to the boat because it was required. None of them were usefull in their original purpose.
