Volvo Ocean Race | Notice of Race
Ni som går igång på detaljer, till exempel vad en VO 70 har för säkerhetsutrustning, kan kolla in senaste varianten av Notice of Race. Så här ser förresten paragrafen om internetaccess ut:
COMMUNICATIONS WHILE RACING (Amends RRS 41)
(a) Except for 3.13 (d) below, data communication is only permitted via the satellite communications terminals provided by the Organising Authority (see Appendix 1). Data Communication through the Large and Small Voice and Data Antennae is only permitted via race headquarters (see Volvo Open 70 Rule 2.2.10 (a) and Notice of Race Appendix 1).
(b) Internet access is not permitted.
(c) Encryption is not permitted. This does not include normal signal encryption used by communication equipment provided or required by the Organising Authority.
(d) Meteorological information may only be obtained from the Organising Authority, publicly broadcast radio or publicly broadcast satellite transmissions. Meteorological information from the Organising Authority will be provided mainly as data in GRIB format and distributed at least twice daily via satellite. Additional information may be supplied such as surface analysis charts, satellite images and/or QuikSCAT images.
Failure of the Organising Authority to send, or of Boats to receive, meteorological information shall not be grounds for redress. This amends RRS 62.1(a).
(e) Unless specifically permitted in NOR 3.12 (d), the receiving of e-mails from FTP-to-email, Internet-to-email, WWW-to-email or email subscription services (paid or unpaid) is not allowed.
