The expanding need for an International system under the auspices of ISAF to categorise sailors with regard to their involvement in sailing is clear due to the fact that different systems are in use in a number of countries. Classes and Events who wish to have all sailors race together but who wish to specifically recognise the first team of sailors in the regatta who are amateurs. Classes and Events who want to limit the number of sailors on each boat who derive their living from sailing. The programme will place the sailor into one of three categories based on the data supplied. The categories are explained in the Code.
Sailor answers all the questions asked.
Sailor could automatically declare themselves Category 3 or 2 if they so wish. To ensure security a Sailor must enter their own password known only to themselves. To ensure security, only the sailor will be able to change the data supplied by using their personal password and the ISAF identification number supplied. The Executive Committee received the proposed Competitor's Classification code, which essentially combined both codes. It was accepted that the code would require modification and amendment over time.
