RESCUING BOATS - Helm and rescue crew and racers
guidance for helms and rescue teams.
1 The rescue boat is there to save people, not boats. Rescue boats must give priority to people still on, or in, the water.2 The rescue team is not going to help you unless you specifically ask**…..they will stand off until you say you need help or the RD assesses that you are no longer capable of making the decision to keep racing (cold and/or tiredness). See also ‘Winter Notes’.3 Once in a rescue situation, it is the Rescue Driver (a qualified person) who is in command.Helms as well as Rescue Assistant MUST be led by the RDs and do as they require.4 If your boat is to be towed in (probably after racing has finished) you will need a suitable painter (some classes require a minimum of 6 metres of floating rope), attached to a point that will take the load …. 50 kg and a lot more for a double-hander full of water; each litre of water weighs one kilogramme……5 If the wind is strong, it is difficult to tow a fully rigged boat so the sail MUST be taken down or furled.6 Centre board should be taken up/dagger boards out of the slot. Rudders to be lifted unless helm stays with their boat.7 Boats are towed alongside the rescue boat with its engine clearly behind the transom of the rescued boat. Usually the towing load is taken on a strong rope attached to the front of the rescue boat to the back of your boat eg toestrap fixing…..but can yours take the strain (do the sums). Two other lines go in to keep the boats parallel – attached to mast (or painter of short boats) and stern quarter of your boat. Other methods are possible according to the type of boat (eg double hander full of water), RD’s training and experienceREMEMBER: Safety is about being prepared….. identify the hazards, assess the risks and eliminate/minimise them.** Rule 41 OUTSIDE HELPA boat shall not receive help from any outside source, except(a) help for a crew member who is ill, injured or in danger; (b) after a collision, help from the crew of the other vessel to get clear; (c) help in the form of information freely available to all boats; (d) unsolicited information from a disinterested source, which may be another boat in the same race.However, a boat that gains a significant advantage in the race fromhelp received under rule 41(a) may be protested and penalized; anypenalty may be less than disqualification.Winter sailing policies
