Hola de nuevo,
Os dejo el enlace del AR FASTNET 2013. Es un tocho pero creo que sacaríamos todos conclusiones interesantes.
http://www.rorc.org/2013-notice-of-r...e-of-race.html
Bueno lo primero, la Fastnet, +-600 mn 2.6 ISAF Offshore Special Regulations
Category 2 with RORC Prescriptions. See NoR 1.5.6 y nunca están a más de 60/70 mn de costa.
La Middle sea race, en la que estás viendo las costas de Sicilia las 600 millas también es categoría 2.
Un tema interesante es la elegibilidad del barco! Y el famoso índice Stix del que se ha discutido alguna vez en el foro. O sea que no puedes participar con lo que quieras.
1.5 Eligibility - The Boat
1.5.1 SUITABILITY
RORC races are open to seaworthy yachts which comply with the rules and regulations described in this Notice of Race and which are manned by an adequate number of experienced crew who are physically fit to face bad weather. The minimum crew on any monohull shall be three apart from as allowed under NoR 1.5.3.1.4 Two-Handed Class.
OSR 3.29.1(n) requires boats to carry an AIS Transponder in Category 0, 1 and 2 races.
Todo el mundo con AIS
AIS Transponders are recommended in Category 3 races.
1.7.3 EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT
For OSR Category 0, 1 and 2 races there are Experience Qualification Requirements, see Part 2 for details.
1.7.4 TRAINING REQUIREMENT
There are basic training requirements for all Categories of Race, see section 6 of the ISAF Offshore Special Regulations for full details.
For OSR Category 0, 1 and 2 races the RORC will ask the crew to provide evidence of training to OSR Section 6. This is the ISAF Offshore Crew Safety Course. Equivalent qualifications may be accepted. For details of the Training Requirements for a race see the appropriate race page in Part 2.
1.7.5 FIRST AID REQUIREMENT
There are requirements for First Aid training in all Categories of Race, see OSR 6.04 and 6.05.
Se exige experiencia previa en regatas de altura y el curso de marras para todas las clases. Los detalles en el AR. La experiencia Adquirida como máximo en los últimos 12 meses.
2.8 Experience Qualification
The Rolex Fastnet Race is not a race for novices. Every crew member must have experience of sailing a boat offshore and be prepared to encounter heavy weather. Competitors may be required to provide evidence of offshore experience. The minimum experience requirement is 300 nautical miles of RORC offshore racing on the boat entered into the race, completed by a minimum of 50% of the crew (but not less than 2) including the Person in Charge, and within 12 months of the start of the Rolex Fastnet Race.
To fulfil this requirement the Competitor shall enter and complete an appropriate number of RORC races before the start of the race.
When it is not reasonably possible to access RORC races, or in exceptional circumstances, an alternative method for qualification may be agreed by the RORC. A Service Yacht may qualify similarly or submit written authority from her service establishment. Proposals should be lodged with the RORC as soon as possible after entry.
Curso de primeros auxilios. Ojo incluso el personal médico solo está exento si acreditan el conocimiento de la normativa específica.
2.9.2 FIRST AID TRAINING
At least one member of the boat's crew shall hold an in-date certificate of a First Aid Training Course. The course shall comply with OSR 6.05.2 and have been completed within five years of the start of the race. The qualifications of Doctors, Paramedics or similarly trained medical professionals will be accepted, provided they are familiar with the topics in OSR Appendix N.
Bueno no sigo que es finde y agosto.
Como siempre no quiero crear polémica please! Solo comentar lo que el RORC aplica a sus regatas. Creo haber leído que a la consulta sobre la categoría de la Mare Nostrum habían respondido que 3 (si me equivoco, sorry). Pero entonces algo no me cuadra. Por qué la Fastnet o la Middle Sea son categoría 2?
Se me olvidaba, en 24h se ha completado el número máximo de barcos admitidos, 300¡ y los demás a la waiting list.
Un saludo y buena mar
