Und wie ist die Reparatur des Materiels geregelt? Dürfen Segel repariert werden, oder nicht.

Nico Prien hat ja sein Board nach einem Crash repariert. Wenn man knallhart wäre, dann ist es ja auch nicht mehr so wie es abgenommen wurde.

Repariert werden darf natürlich, in der Regel mit Rücksprache mit der PWA.

Ein Umpositionieren vom Luffpanel oder der Lattenposition hat nichts mit einer Reparatur zu tun.

Wenn man deutlich Stiche sieht von der vorherigen Position der Naht, ist das ziemlich ungünstig.

Es darf auch ein Board nicht einfach ersetzt werden. Müsste mal in die Event-Inscription schauen.

Bei Boards werden jedenfalls auch die Seriennummern gefordert (doof, wenn es mehrere mit identischer Seriennummer gibt), Segel haben ja teilweise auch eine. Könnte man zumindest als PWA für die Zukunft fordern, wenn noch nicht der Fall.

Zitat von Isonic87

nicht ganz ernst gemeint, aber mir fiel auf….

streng genommen sind alle auf Foil zu disqualifizieren, da sie gegen §1.8(c) des PWA Regelwerks verstossen:

{1.8} EQUIPMENT (ALL DISCIPLINES)

…

(c) Equipment which in the opinion of the Race Director could cause injury to competitors must be prohibited. It is the responsibility of each competitor to check this aspect of his/her equipment with the Race Director. Under this Rule, rigging on the mast and sharp nosed boards which could cause injury to competitors must be prohibited.

Scheinbar wird in den Augen der PWA das Verletzungsrisiko durch eine ‚scharfe Boardspitze’ höher gesehen, als durch die Foils.

Aber sie tragen ja jetzt alle einen Helm

Also hat der beste Fin-Fahrer mit stumpfer Boardspitze gewonnen. Denke ein derartiger Protest könnte erfolgreich sein.

Ein Foil ist für mich mehr oder weniger nur eine Finne.

Dein Lieblingsthema, oder?

Für mich auch!

Mich wundert wie man sich gegen Entwicklungen so sperren kann. Mehr ist das Foil nicht.

Gab es eigentlich auch so eine Diskussion als die ersten Formula damals bei Raceboardrennen eingesetzt werden durften?

Alles anzeigen

Nur von denen, die am Longboard festhalten wollten, weil sie mit dem kurzen breiten Board nicht fahren konnten...

Geschichte wiederholt sich...
Wenn es nach Kaiser Wilhelm II. ginge, würden wir heute noch mit dem Pferd unterwegs sein.

Was sagt denn das Reglement bzgl. Protest gegen Entscheidungen und Berufung. Und wie ist die Reparatur des Materiels geregelt? Dürfen Segel repariert werden, oder nicht.

{2.5} EQUIPMENT RESTRICTIONS (SLALOM)

(a) Competitors may register and compete with a total of 3 boards, 6 sails and 1 set of foil components for the Slalom discipline at any Slalom event. A sailor may only use equipment which is registered in his/her own name.

(b) Competitors may only register boards from the PWA Registered Board list.

(c) Competitors may only register sails from the PWA Registered Sails List

(d) Competitors may register up to 3 boards in total from the PWA Registered Board List. Boards may be registered and used at the competitors discretion, provided that:

i. No more than one of these boards is from the PWA Slalom Foil Board List (over 85cm wide and no more than 91cm wide to be used exclusively with a hydrofoil). Or from the PWA Registered Course Racing Board List (up to 100.5cm) for female competitors only.

ii. One of these boards may only be registered exclusively for use with a fin.

(e) Sails shall be no bigger than 10 square meters. Any registered sail may be used with any board, fin or foil combination.

(h) Boards, sails and foil components must be registered by manufacturers according to the standard PWA registration process, details of which are available from the PWA office and may be altered from time to time at the discretion of the PWA.

{2.5.1} Equipment Registration (SLALOM)

(a) Competitors shall register 3 boards. Competitors must then race on any of these boards unless the protest committee permits the exchange of a board due to damage beyond reasonable repair.

(b) Competitors shall register 6 sails from the PWA registered Race sail list. Competitors must then race on any of these sails unless the protest committee permits the exchange of a sail due to damage beyond reasonable repair.

(c) Competitors shall register 1 set of foil components from the PWA registered Foil list, comprised of 1 foil mast, 2 foil fuselages, 2 sets of front wings and 2 sets of rear wings. The components registered by a competitor must be from the same registered set as registered by the manufacturers, and may not mix components from different manufacturers. Competitors must then race on a foil made up of the registered component parts unless the protest committee permits the exchange of a foil or components due to damage beyond reasonable repair.

(d) Equipment shall be registered by competitors at or before the registration of the first Slalom competition of the year that they take part in. The equipment registered by each competitor during this time shall be the total amount of boards and sails that they may use for the remainder of the season. If a competitor registers less than the total amount permitted, then that competitor shall not subsequently register any additional equipment at future events even if this means that they have less than the maximum permissible number of boards and sails, unless specific permission is granted by the PWA.

(e) All equipment must be registered during the times published in the Notice of Race for the event unless this time is extended by the Race Committee on site at the event. Failure to register equipment during these hours shall prohibit the use of that equipment from use at PWA Slalom events for the remainder of the year. Equipment may be stamped or marked.

(f) If a competitor does not have an individual item of equipment that they wish to register them at their first event of the year, then they may register the item by submitting the model name and size at registration. However, they must submit the item for stamping / marking as necessary before they actually use it in competition.

{2.5.2} Equipment Replacement (SLALOM)

(a) If a board, sail or foil component is damaged, by no foul means, the protest committee may allow the sailor to exchange this board or sail with another identical item. Board, sail or foil replacement may only be sanctioned by the protest committee. If possible the original registered item may be repaired and used again. Reinstatement of a board or sail may only be sanctioned by the protest committee. If an identical item is not available, then an item of a closely similar type and size may be used at the discretion of the protest committee.

(b) Equipment may be replaced by identical items between events without scrutiny, however any replacements should be notified to the protest committee at the registration of the next event where serial numbers may be noted and equipment may be marked or stamped.

(c) In the case that a competitor has a significant sponsor change in either boards, sails or foils during the year, then they may apply to change the equipment they have registered, to equipment manufactured by the new sponsor. Applications for equipment change under this rule must be accompanied by proof in the form of either sponsorship contracts and / or a letter of confirmation from both the old and new sponsors and must be submitted at least 10 days before the start of the next event. Such applications shall be considered by the PWA Management Board which may or may not grant permission for an equipment change at their own discretion. If permission to change equipment is granted under this rule, then a competitor may only register equipment of a closely equivalent size and type to that originally registered. The final decision of whether to accept the registration of any specific items of equipment under this rule shall be at the discretion of the PWA.

{2.5.3} Equipment Scrutinizing (SLALOM)

(a) Scrutinizing of equipment will be performed either by a PWA Representative, or any member of the PWA Race Crew. A sailor must make his/her equipment available for scrutinizing at any time whilst the event is in progress. Failure to present equipment for scrutinizing may result in disqualification from the respective race or from the entire discipline.

(b) Equipment used by sailors must meet all registered specification and shall not have been modified in any way without prior approval from the protest committee. Modification from the normal specification as delivered by the manufacturer shall not be permitted. For the purposes of this rule, the addition of any extra tack or clew cringles or positions, puncturing of the sail to allow any attachment to provide tension other than devices supplied with the sail as standard or any other attachment or modification that is designed to alter the shape or performance of the sail from the standard supplied configuration shall not be permitted. For the avoidance of doubt, brochure / website specification and or the majority specification of other identical items of equipment may be used as evidence of the standard supplied specification by the protest committee.

(c) Batten types and tension, mast type and tension, adjustment of camber inducers including sanding / filing and the addition of any spacers or other optional devices that are supplied as standard for the adjustment of battens, masts or camber inducers, shall be excluded from this rule and may be adjusted at the discretion of the sailor in question.

(d) Any sailor found to have been using equipment that has not been registered, or equipment that does not meet the registered specification for that particular item of equipment, including the conditions outlined above, shall be disqualified from the entire race discipline for that event.

(e) If a sailor is in anyway unsure as to the legality of any modification or piece of equipment, then they must seek and obtain permission to use that equipment, either from the PWA in advance of the event, or from the protest committee, before using that item of equipment. Otherwise they may be disqualified as described in the rules.

(f) If boards are equipped with the capability of adding any standard accessories to the hull of the board that affect the board in a way that changes the hull shape of the board or the way that the board interacts with the water, such as but not limited to plates that fit into the cut outs or onto the deck around the waterline, then these accessories and their method of attachment to the board must also be registered along with the board. Non registered accessories shall not be permitted.

For clarification, there is no restriction on the use of different fins and foot straps which may be changed at the sailor’s discretion. However the addition of nonstandard deck pads, moving fin boxes or foot strap inserts or replacing them with non-standard versions shall not be permitted.

The final decision on whether to permit any item of equipment or any attached accessory shall be at the discretion of the protest committee who may prohibit the use of any item if it breaches the rules or if they feel it is an attempt to significantly alter the performance of the board or sail in question from its intended design.

{2.5.4} Equipment repair (SLALOM)

Damaged equipment may be repaired, but repairs must be completed in a way that complies with the original specification of the board or sail as registered with the PWA. If a board or sail is found to be outside of the registered specification when produced or after use, then adjustments may be made to the board to bring it back within correct tolerances provided that these adjustment are made before it is used at a PWA Slalom event.

{2.8} Mandatory Safety Equipment

All competitors in the Slalom discipline must wear a suitable helmet and impact vest. The helmet must provide protection to the head and the impact vest must provide protection for the upper torso. Items required under this rule must be commercially available products designed for the purpose and homemade items will not be permitted. In the event of any doubt about the suitability of protective equipment under these rules, the PWA Race Committee shall have the final decision.
