anyone see the problem with this rule for some competitors?Read the guidelines again from your link. It all changes after December 15th for domestic travellers. Sure will need to be fully vaxed and proof of negative covid test but otherwise the Tas border is open so the S2H can go ahead.
Of course the new variant could change this quickly but I personally haven't seen anything yet from official Tas govt sources.
That’s the pre Dec 15 rule.anyone see the problem with this rule for some competitors?![]()
Travellers who have spent time in a high-risk area in the 14 days before their travel to Tasmania will have to have a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before arrival in Tasmania.
If NSW is classified as "high risk" then it will apply to the fleet.That’s the pre Dec 15 rule.

Rapid antigen test for crew at Green Cape and at Tasman Island?But im sure there will be a work around in the works to get testing completed and results before any boats depart.

[SIZE=11pt]1.03.2 The words "shall" and "must" are mandatory, and "should" and "may" are permissive. ---https://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/mo12021-[26835].pdf[/SIZE]Even though I will probably get called a pedant, I noticed quite a few of the yachts in the Cabbage Tree Island race have nav lights that don't satisfy the Special Regs - namely that:
[SIZE=13pt]3.23.3 [/SIZE][SIZE=13pt]Navigation lights shall not be mounted below deck level and should be at no less height than immediately under the upper lifeline. [/SIZE]
Law Connect's lights were just on the height of the lower lifeline, as were many others. Given the CYCA are the denizens of quality in Offshore Yacht racing, perhaps their Sailing Office needs to have a look.
To be fair, if you’re running furling sails that are cut that low having nav lights any higher than “just on” makes them somewhat superfluous? Is it a case of “better something than nothing?”Even though I will probably get called a pedant, I noticed quite a few of the yachts in the Cabbage Tree Island race have nav lights that don't satisfy the Special Regs - namely that:

GRS is just checking with the CEO.To be fair, if you’re running furling sails that are cut that low having nav lights any higher than “just on” makes them somewhat superfluous? Is it a case of “better something than nothing?”
I’ve got a GREAT idea - let’s ask Glen Stanaway from AS to jump on the forum and give us his interpretation of the rules?

Good point - doesn't change the rule, and seeing a light from the leeward side would be hard, but not from the windward side. Of course they could just use their tri colour (allowed for yachts that big?) and then no worries.To be fair, if you’re running furling sails that are cut that low having nav lights any higher than “just on” makes them somewhat superfluous?
