Equipment and Inspection Resources

For safety and fairness, all entrants in the Pacific Cup race are required to carry a defined minimum set of gear.  One may well debate the philosophy of the requirement or of any particular gear item, but our race requires them.

The requirements are set out in the NOR , which in turn references the 2006-2007 Offshore Special Regulations and the to-be-released Sailing Instructions.  Note: the 2008 SR's, which you may have recently received, are not the applicable ones.  However, the differences between the two sets are very very minor.  Indeed, the only change we noted that has a material impact is the removal of the "white flares" requirement, which we are adopting as well. 

For your convenience, we have posted a combined single document of the 2007 Special Regs , the NOR, and other materials in a single document for planning purposes.
