Rule 43.1(a), Competitor Clothing and Equipment
A competitor may not wear or otherwise attach to his person a beverage container.
Question
Does rule 43.1(a) permit a competitor to wear or otherwise attach to his person
a beverage container while racing?
Answer
No. Except on a sailboard, there is no necessity for such a practice, and therefore
its primary purpose must be considered to be to increase the competitor’s weight.
(Note that rule B2.1(b) modifies rule 43.1(a) for windsurfing competition.)
