Je viens de regarder le chapitre sur les communications de la Notice Of Race. D'après moi si ce paragraphe reste comme ça alors ces jumelles pourraient être considérées comme interdites.
Notice Of Race a écrit :(a) Except as expressly approved by this NOR, the Sailing Instructions, or by the Race Committee, a boat shall not carry on board while racing any equipment capable of:
(i) receiving communications or signals originating outside the boat, including pagers, internet, and mobile telephones;
(ii) transmitting any communications or signals from the boat; or
(iii) having the effect of competing with any broadcast coverage that may be licensed by the Organising Authority
(b) While racing each boat is permitted to carry on board and to use the following:
(i) Global Positioning System receiver(s) including receipt of
differential corrections;
(ii) telemetry system(s) for the electronic collection, storage, and transmission of that boat’s own performance data, provided that such data is kept within and used strictly by that team;
(iii) low power, on-board communications system(s) (voice and/or data) on board the boat for the purpose of providing communications between crew members;
(iv) lasers, radar or other detection equipment for measuring the relative position of the opponents yacht; and
(v) Organising Authority supplied broadcast and telemetry equipment.
D'après le document seuls les lasers permettant de mesurer la position de l'autre bateau sont autorisés. Tout autre équipement émettant un signal et qui n'est pas listé dans le (b) est interdit.
Le NOR actuel dit encore plus de choses, pour interdire les nouveautés de USA.
Mais je pense que c'est une des regles qui n'est pas valide, parce que contraire à la liberté de dessign établi par la Juge à petition de Alinghi.
Et aussi parce que changer les regles juste avant la regate pour donner avantage à soi-mêmes: ils jouent avec la règle 69. Un jeu dangereux.
Voilà toutes les règles sur les communications

14. RADIO COMMUNICATION
14.1 Except as expressly permitted by this NOR, the Sailing Instructions, or by
the Race Committee, a boat shall not carry on board while racing any
equipment capable of:
(a) receiving communications or signals originating outside the boat,
including without limitation pagers, internet, mobile telephones
and/or flying devices either attached or linked or not to the boat;
12
(b) transmitting any communications or signals from the boat; or
(c) having the effect of competing with any broadcast coverage that
may be licensed by the Organising Authority.
14.2 While racing each boat is permitted to carry on board and to use the
following:
(a) Global Positioning System receiver(s) including receipt of
differential corrections;
(b) telemetry system(s) for the electronic collection, storage, and
transmission of that boat’s own performance data, provided that
such data is kept within and used strictly by that team;
(c) low power, on-board communications system(s) (voice and/or data)
on board the boat for the purpose of providing communications
between crew members;
(d) lasers, radar or other detection equipment for measuring the
relative position of the opponents yacht, other vessels and
obstructions; and
(e) Organising Authority supplied broadcast and telemetry equipment.
14.3 Each boat and that boat’s Chase Boat shall carry on board a two-way
“Safety” Radio issued by the Race Committee. For the avoidance of
doubt, while racing the use of the Safety Radio by the boat or her Chase
Boat for safety or emergency communication does not break this NOR.
14.4 When radio advice may be given using the Safety Radio in addition to
signals prescribed in the RRS, it shall not be grounds for redress should
the Race Committee or Umpires fail to give that radio advice or the boat
fail to receive it.
14.5 After consultation with the competitors the Race Committee will specify in
a notice to competitors by 28th January 2010 broadcast and telemetry
equipment to be installed. Each boat shall permit without restriction, and
shall not deliberately interfere with, the installation, maintenance, testing,
or normal operation of all equipment.
14.6 The position of all broadcast and telemetry equipment, its function, field of
view, weight, and dimensions shall be as equal as practicable on both
boats.
