Special note regarding Changes to Cat 7 safety requirements.
Published Tue 24 Feb 2026
In response to the Sydney Harbour Friday Twilight incident, Australian Sailing has made an amendment to Special Safety Regulations Part 1 for Racing Boats introducing VHF Radio to Category 7 races.
Reminder to all that PDYC operate on VHF channel 77 on race days.
Regulation 3.25.1
(b)(iii) Permanently installed (recommended DSC capable), or waterproof handheld, VHF transceiver
VHF radio remains the most critical tool for handling emergency situations. Its reliability and simplicity make it indispensable for race crews, officials, and rescue services alike. It provides immediate voice communication with nearby vessels, direct access to race committees and rescue authorities and uses standardised emergency procedures, understood worldwide.
The internationally recognised Channel 16 is the primary distress, safety, and calling channel. During a sailing race, it serves as the first point of contact when an emergency arises.
