When racing in category 1 and 2 events, two of the most important Special Regulations are those for hull construction standards and resistance to capsize.

Two presentations have been recorded to help boat owners, sailing and race committees, and sailing managers understand the Special Regulations for hull construction standards and resistance to capsize for category 1 and 2 races. Each are available to view here:

The presentations introduce where to find the regulations, why we have them, what to look for on documents and how to get the required documents. PDF versions of the presentations can be downloaded here:
