It happens so quick! GC32 RT 2018 8

Important Rules for GC32 Rib Drivers GC32 characteristics GC32 catamarans appear out of nowhere almost silent Be aware! GC32 catamarans sail at high speeds of up to 40 knots Be aware! GC32 catamarans can quickly change the course / angle because of changes in the wind direction or pressure Be aware! When bearing away and/or deploying the gennaker, the GC32 can accelerate from 15 to 30-35 knots, When foiling, the GC32 has an approximate 10 drift to leeward, When gybing, the GC32 route may vary from about 90 from side to side, A lost of grip will generate a strong windward heeling and may end with 1 crew overboard! The helmsman s field of vision is very narrow (from the forestay to the windward bow) Avoiding an obstacle such as non-maneuverable RIB is considered as a last chance maneuver and may end with 1 or 2 crews overboard! Don t forget the GC32 helmsman expects that the RIB will move GC32 RT 2018 9

AMV - 20150522 10

Important Rules for GC32 Support Boat Drivers Required: Personal buoyancy aid (ISO standard) must be worn at all times while afloat, driver must wear kill cord, Engine should never be turned off, Pay special attention to the GC32 and to other RIBS, Distress arms signs must be actively waved in case of non-maneuverability, Never sail or stay in an area or zone that you are not entitled to be, Respect the areas and zones and their distances, Respect the areas and zones and their distances. In doubt stay further away from the limits rather then to close Always point your bow in the escape direction, as you will be fast enough in reverse Never sail or stay in front of a GC32 or in the blind angle of the crew, Never follow a GC32 in his wake; if a crew falls overboard you might hit him, Be aware of the quick change of course / angle because of maneuvers and wind changes (direction and pressure). GC32 RT 2018 11

Important Rules for GC32 Rib Drivers RIB & Drivers Don t forget the huge boat speed difference: 5 knots = 2.57 meters / second 10 knots = 5.14 m/s 15 knots = 7.72 m/s 20 knots = 10.29 m/s 25 knots = 12.86 m/s 30 knots = 15.43 m/s 35 knots = 18 m/s 40 knots = 20.58 m/s GC32 RT 2018 12

THANK YOU! ENJOY THE RACING AND BE SAFE! 13
