1. Radio Communication. Use of hand held VHF radios will be permitted for
 communication from the Race Committee to competitors on a predetermined
 channel to be identified in the Sailing Instructions. The Race Committee
 intends to use VHF radio to identify OCS (On Course Side of the line) boats
 after starts and otherwise communicate with the fleet on the water. Failure to
 receive a hail, for a hail to be made, the order of hails made, or receive other
 communications to the fleet shall not be cause for redress.

Other use of any communication devise is prohibited and such use shall
 require withdrawal from the race unless determined by the Race Committee
 to have been for emergency purposes. Failure to receive a hail, for a hail to
 be made, the order of hails made, or receive other communications to the
 fleet shall not be cause for redress.
