ENTRY INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS
SAFETY/CAT 3
All entrants need to have a Category 3 . (minus life raft or dinghy) safety certificate issued by Yachting NZ. These require an inspection that is valid for two years. The certificate must remain valid for the duration of the race.
Check out the Cat 3 checklist below and head on over to Yachting New Zealand to book your inspection.
HANDICAPS
As the Coastal is a mixed fleet race, we use handicaps to calculate time based results. All keelboats require a PHRF handicap certificate from Yachting NZ to be elligible to race. Apply for this by 30 September to avoid a late fee. Multihulls can request a handicap from the NZMYC. We also have a division for entrants with an IRC rating.
RACE TRACKERS
All boats are requested to carry a PredictWind Race Tracker, switched on, for the entire duration of the race so that supporters can watch the race emerge online, and doing so will make you eligible for some terrific spot prizes. The Tracker is a free App that can be downloaded to any iPhone or Android smartphone.
