EQUIPMENT AUDIT FORMS
Each year as of the 30th June, submitted Equipment Audit Forms expire and boat owners have up until the first race of the Summer season to submit a new one for the 2020-2021 season. For Keelboats, this process has been made easier by using the functions available in Yacht Safe. All boat owners that competed in the 2019-2020 season now have a Yacht Safe account where they submitted their Equipment Audit form for that season.
If you wish to refresh your familiarity with your account in Yacht Safe – click here.
After 30th June, boat owners will be notified that the new audit forms are now available and can be submitted online. Via Yacht Safe, past audit forms can be easily accessed to assist with your new form. No more forgetting what boxes were ticked!
Another feature to come soon, is the ability for Club Admins who are also using TopYacht to see whether or not a boat has submitted a valid audit form at a touch of a button. This will provide valuable reassurance that visiting boats comply with the host club’s minimum safety requirements.
