- All boats must be insured and have cover against third party liability of at least £2,000,000. This must include racing risks.
- All boats must display a sail number, easily identifiable. Sail numbers on all headsails, including spinnakers, must be the same as that on the
mainsail.
- Entries from Sports Boats will not be accepted.
- Entries from boats with an SSS number less than 15 will be at the discretion of the Round Mull Race organising committee. The SSS number is the
stability and safety screening calculation number which is used by ORC. Most cruising and racing boats will fall outside the above number. If there
is any doubt or dispute the final decision rests with the organising committee.
- Crew members sailing on a boat with an SSS number less than 15 will be obliged to wear personal buoyancy at all times. In addition crew members
under 18 years of age sailing on any boat must wear personal buoyancy at all times.
- Each boat must have at least two adults on board at all times during racing.
- The Round Mull Race is designated an ORC Category 3 Race. A copy of Category 3
regulations can be obtained from the organising committee if required.
- Craft under 28ft may use outboard propulsion in the absence of an inboard engine.
- The following are additional conditions applying to the Round Mull Race:
a) A fixed marine radio transmitter and receiver 25 watt. If the regular antenna depends on the mast, an emergency antenna must be provided.
A supplementary hand-held is advised but not essential.
b) Charts to cover the whole race (Admiralty Charts 2169, 2171 and 2617 are the minimum required) and plotting instruments. It is recommended that
competitors carry either Clyde Cruising Club Sailing Directions - Kintyre to
Ardnamurchan - or Martin Lawrence's Yachtsman's Pilot - Isle of Mull or the preceding Crinan to
Canna.
c) In place of the liferaft as per Category 3 regulations, the following alternative is acceptable: an inflatable dinghy by an acceptable manufacturer with at least two
main compartments sufficient to carry the entire crew of the boat. It should be stored in an easily accessible place with oars and pump attached at all times.
