Just wondering, does every fishing vessel have to produce an exact layout of the boat just in case there is an emergency? I'm pretty sure that there are no 2 fishing boats that are "exactly" the same, and oh yea, fishing boats are all over the place, not on a course. Sorry, just my thoughts

It would be interesting to know exactly what "feedback" the USCG has provided to SBI and what actions SBI has taken as a result. Maybe some of the racers can provide that feedback?
The escape plan and review process makes a lot of sense. It sounds like they did that on at least one boat last year, but if it's a new requirement, it obviously was not a fleet-wide practice in the past.
If I were SBI, I'd welcome the investigation and it's recommendations. How could they NOT want to improve their operation?
