Advertising on Boats In accordance with ISAF Regulation 20.3 (d)(i) and the Notice of Race, all competitors will be required to carry the event sponsor/s logo on the front 25% of their hull. This is essentially the area on the vertical face of the hull from the front wing bar to the bow. To protect the significant investment in the event by the sponsors, to ensure uniformity, and to comply with the ISAF Regulations, boats will not be allowed to carry the event sponsor stickers anywhere other than on the front 25% of the hull. Thus these stickers will not be allowed to be placed on the foredeck or sail if you already have advertising (or boat name) on the front of your hull. If you intend to display personal sponsorship and/or a boat name, then competitors are advised to place it either; 1. on the hull, but behind the front wing bar and/or; 2. on the foredeck and/or; 3. on the sail but 'clearly separate' from the sail numbers and national letters. This will ensure you are compliant with the ISAF rules and regulations, the class rules, the Notice of Race and thus not subject to protest. The relevant ISAF regulations can be found at http://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/2008_Part4-[4817].pdf
