Current through Rules and Regulations filed through September 23, 2024
(1) The Department may restrict the participation in such events to vessels whose construction materials are inherently buoyant (e.g. wood) or which have buoyancy materials built into them, unless the sponsor agrees to remove from the water body any nonbuoyant vessels that may sink during the event.
(2) The Department may restrict the participation of vessels in such events to those constructed in such a manner that they can reasonably be expected to be put in, floated upon and removed in one piece.
(3) Buoyancy materials for those vessels whose construction materials are not inherently buoyant will be limited to those which will not easily fragment or become separated from the vessel. Polystyrene blocks will be allowed only if suitably encased to prevent fragmentation.
