Vessel Compliance Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the Owner and/or Person-in-Charge to ensure that all equipment is maintained and that the boat continues to comply in every respect with the category the boat is competing in.
The Owner and/or the Person-in-Charge should remain familiar with the current AS Special Regulations and ensure that all equipment remains on the boat, is kept in good order and that equipment is replaced or repaired as necessary and that the crew know where it is kept and how it is to be used.
Where a change of boat ownership occurs any existing AS SR compliance audit form approved prior to the change of ownership is void.
