Tip Of the Month

Prepare for Inspection!

Our Chief Inspector has posted this month's tip, supplied by inspector Paul Kamen. The issue is getting your boat ready for inspection so that more time is spent helping you be ready and less time is spent, say, looking for that sixth flare. Here's a taste below. For the full entry, see our forum.

Hopefully all racers know who their inspectors are and are starting to think about how best to prepare for inspection. Remember, your inspector is volunteering his/her time so please prepare and set up your boat as thoroughly as possible for the inspection. Once your inspector arrives s/he should not have to wait around while items are pulled out of storage and displayed. One of our most experienced inspectors has put together a short list of how to get ready for your inspection.

    To prepare for inspection:

  • Storm sails bent on, fully hoisted if wind permits.
  • Emergency steering gear in place. Prepare for demonstration if requested.
  • Overboard gear set up.
  • Raft in place or stowed as for race.
