Feedback invited on Special Regulations Audit Forms

4:08 AM Tue 9 Feb 2010 GMT

Yachting Australia is seeking feedback on the draft Yachting Australia Special Regulations Audit Forms which are designed to be used to perform equipment inspections on yachts and off the beach boats.

The forms are based on those used, and supplied by, Yachting New South Wales. The Yachting New South Wales auditor model is used to service events ranging from Category 7 weekly inner harbour International Etchell racing to the Category 1 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and is well recognised nationally.

A boat wishing to be inspected for equipment may use the appropriate form and the forms may be used as a guide to boat owners checking that they have the right gear on board. The forms may also be used by race committees when inspecting boats in accordance with Yachting Australia Special Regulation 2.02 - Inspection.

Boat owners must understand that an audit is carried out only as a guide to owners and organising authorities. An auditor/inspector cannot limit or reduce the complete and unlimited responsibility of the owner or owner's representative as defined in regulations 1.02.1, 1.02.2 and 1.02.3 - Owner's Responsibility.

The forms will be provided in Word.doc format and future editions may be converted to Excel.xls formats.

Persons wishing to provide feedback should do so in writing to [email protected] prior to 5 March 2009.
