Restrictions
On Use Of Main Channel
Do not anchor in any
shipping lanes. Obstructing the passage of a vessel weighing
over 500 tonnes is both illegal and dangerous.
Restrictions
On The Entry To Race Area
Do not enter the start
box exclusion zone. This changes from day to day, and will
be advised on VHF 21. (This is a marine radio channel that
sailors should listen to.)
Do not enter the 100
metre exclusion zone around the America's Cup Race Boats at
any time.
Restrictions
On Entry To Viaduct Village
There is a great deal of
activity happening in the Viaduct Village and it would be a
good idea to avoid this area. The America's Cup Village
Limited, which manage this area, insist on the 5 knot rule
being enforced. Should you need to enter please contact the
Viaduct control centre on VHF Channel 73 and they will guide
you.
Enforcement
Of The 5 Knot Rule
For vessels under 30
metres you must not exceed 5 knots when you are:
* Within 30 metres of any other
vessel or person in the water
* Within 200 metres of the shore or
any structure
* Within 200 metres of any vessel
flying a dive flag
* When passing through a mooring
area for yachts or launches
Do not exceed 5 knots
while anyone is sitting at the front of the boat with any
part of their body hanging over the edge.
No person who is under 15
years old is allowed to drive a boat which can go faster
than 10 knots.
