While sailing socially or racing at BBC, national events, and at most other clubs you must wear gloves, a safety helmet, and enclosed footwear. You are required to understand and comply with the sailing rules and briefing instructions. There are 4 fundamental give-way rules:
• A port tack blokart keeps clear of a starboard tack blokart
• Blokart clear astern keeps clear. No barging between the blokart ahead and an obstruction (the grass is an obstruction)
• When sailing in the same direction, the windward (upwind) blokart keeps clear of the leeward (downwind) blokart
• Blokart sailing downwind gives way to blokart sailing upwind
