SAFETY BOAT An open boat equipped with a good operating marine radio, with a driver and one or two assistants(3 persons
max.). Their primary function is emergency assistance to drivers and co-pilots in the event of an accident and will
also tow disabled race boats back to the dock. They will serve as race officials for the area they can observe and keep all other watercraft away from the
race course. The boat will also carry a "backboard" to transport an injured person to the dock if necessary. The boat will be stationed inside the safety zone near the 1st AND
2ND turn area. If available, an additional safety boat will be stationed inside the safety zone near the 3RD AND 4TH turn
area, and have the same duties as the 1st safety boat. All persons aboard the flag and safety boats MUST be club members. News reporters, photographers, etc. are NOT permitted in any of the safety or flag boats. All occupants of any of the flag, safety, or dive team boats must NOT wear red or green shirts to avoid
confusing a driver or co-pilot to think it may be a red or green flag. |
