Shane Wilson has asked that the following Ski Racing Australia rule be published here and writes; “we have a new rule added to the rule book that is effective immediately and will be in place for the Grafton Bridge to Bridge this weekend. All skiers need to be fully aware of this rule change.”
Rule 11.22.
Passing Applicable to All Events Unless Noted Otherwise
(a) Skiers must ski to the outside of each turn, course or hazard buoy.
(b) A fallen skier may be passed on whichever side is deemed to be the safest. The passing driver or observer shall acknowledge sight of a fallen skier by raising a hand.
(c) For a single skier race, the skier must remain in the wake of the towing boat for the entire race.
(d) When more than one skier is being towed in a race, skiers must ski in the wash or within two metres of the wash at all times. Two skiers may not ski on the same side of the boat outside the wash.
Penalty – Disqualification.
(e) Boats shall not follow closer than 100 metres directly behind any skier except when overtaking, in which case it is imperative that the driver should keep his boat in a different line than the preceding one. Penalty – Disqualification
