Every racer must wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device (PFD). This PFD must be worn at all times. Failure to comply will result in disqualification and forfeiture of entry fee.  Note: Any Coast Guard-approved inflatable PFD satisfies this requirement, ensuring that a PFD will not restrict performance.
