involved in the permitting process for this event.) ANY FINES IMPOSED ON THE EVENT WILL BE CHARGED TO THE OFFENDING COMPETITOR.

This means your race boat needs to have all the USCG and Arizona State required boating items on board during your race and must be available at the Technical inspection prior to the race and stowed onboard when you enter the post -race technical inspection. Failure to do so will result in finanicial fines and or 2 Lap Penalty.

Agencies with Jurisdiction over Lake Havasu

Lake Havasu is considered a federal waterway and is governed by eight agencies. The Lake Havasu City Police Department has jurisdiction over the Bridgewater Channel. The Mohave County & San Bernardino County Sheriffs, as well as Arizona Game & Fish Department, Arizona State Park Department, and the U.S. Coast Guard have jurisdiction over the lake itself. The Chemehuevi Indian Tribe has jurisdiction over all reservation shorelines and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has federal jurisdiction over the lake and government lands surrounding the lake. That's a lot of jurisdictional agencies to keep track of, to say the least.

United States Coast Guard (USCG) Lake Havasu City Police Department (LHCPD) Mohave County Sheriff Department (MCSD) San Bernardino County Sheriff Department (SBCSD) Chemehuevi Indian Tribal Police (CITP) Arizona Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

All watercraft vessels are legally required to carry or have installed on their vessel certain equipment. Details after each item link to the corresponding state law. The Arizona Revised Statutes are also supplemented by the AZGFD's Commission Rules and the US Coast Guard Federal Regulations, so all resources should be utilized when reviewing the law. The list below pertains to Personal watercraft on Lake Havasu.

*Safety Lanyard-attached to the operator, in good condition and for the specific Make, Model and Year of Production

*No Bathing suits for PWC use allowed-due to orifice/vaginal/rectal injuries from jet stream

Wearable Personal Flotation Devices (Life Vests): Coast Guard-approved, fit, Type III or V, and one for each occupant on board. For children proper fit, and sizing. The life vests must be in good working order (A.R.S. §5-331). Personal Watercraft is a Type III or V, no inflatable lifejackets permitted.

Throwable Personal Flotation Device: At least one Coast Guard-approved, Type IV (this would include a cushion or ring buoy), easily accessible and in good working order (AZGFD's Commission Rules, Section R12-4-511). These devices are designed to be thrown to someone in trouble.

Fire Extinguisher: All watercraft under 26' and using any volitale liquid (gas, diesel, etc.) shall have on board a Coast Guard-approved Type B-1 fire extinguisher in a condition available for immediate and effective use. Vessels 26' to less than 40' in length must have two Coast Guard-approved Type B-1 fire extinguishers (A.R.S. §5-332). Do not place fire extinguisher(s) near the engine compartment. For vessels 40' and larger, please refer to the Arizona Boating Laws & Regulations Publication.

Flame Arrestor: All watercraft using gasoline as fuel, except outboard motors, shall attach to the carburetor(s) a backfire flame arrestor approved for marine use and suitably secured to the air intake (A.R.S. §5-334). (Two stroke engines)

2015 Requirements for Mark Hahn 300 PWC Race – PPF 300 - K38 Water Safety

3

Muffler: Watercraft must have mufflers to prevent excessive or unusual noise (A.R.S. §5-336).

Sound-Producing Device (horn): Arizona law does not require vessels to carry a sound-producing device, however, federal law does require vessels operating on federally-controlled waters (such as the Colorado River and lake system) be equipped with sound producing devices. Every vessel less than 65.6' (including PWCs) must carry on board a whistle, horn, bell, or other device effective to create a sound signal audible for at least one-half mile (CFR Title 33 §83.33).

Visual Distress Signals (VDS): Vessels on federally-controlled waters (such as the Colorado River and lake system) must be equipped with Coast Guard-approved VDS equipment, readily accessible and in good working order. Exceptions to day signal requirements include: Vessels less than 16' in length, non-motorized open sailboats less than 26' in length, and manually-propelled vessels. All vessels, regardless of length or type, are required to carry night signals when operating between sunset to sunrise (this would include flares or smoke signal devices) (CFR Title 33 §175.101).

*Current 2015 Registration and Registration Sticker: Stored on board, waterproof

PROMOTER REQUIRES Emergency Flag-International Orange

Those on PWCs must wear a life jacket at all times. 2Those 12 years of age and younger must wear a life jacket while underway on any vessel. 3Required on inboard engines. 4Required when boating on federally-controlled waters (which include the Colorado River and lake system).

Lake Havasu has a counter-clockwise rotation; this means you should always stay to the right of the lake, whether going up or down river. Consider the way you drive on any road or highway in the country; if the shore is closer to you over your left shoulder, you're on the wrong side of the lake. When crossing over to the other side of the lake, always check behind you to make sure you will not be crossing another vessel's path.

Watercraft and PWCs don't have brakes! When facing a potential collision, a watercraft operator can only rely on throttle and steering to avoid a collision.

2015 Requirements for Mark Hahn 300 PWC Race – PPF 300 - K38 Water Safety

4

Children under 12 must wear a life vest at all times while underway on any vessel. The life vest must be fully and properly fastened.

Every person being towed behind a vessel (either on water skis, wakeboard, tube, or other similar device) must wear a life vest at all times while being towed.

Sailboats and non-motorized vessels always have the right-of-way.

Larger vessels (big boats) always have the right-of-way over smaller vessels (PWCs).

Vessels towing another vessel have the right-of-way over all motorized vessels.

When approaching another motorized vessel head-on, always "show your side." This means make a significant turn so the other vessel can clearly which direction you will be going; this helps avoid a collision when two head-on boaters turn in opposite directions and end up colliding with each other.

All motorized vessels give off carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is very toxic. Do not swim near the back of the boat when the motor is running. Know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning!

Don't sit on the gunwale, bow, seat backs, motor cover, or any other area not designated for seating, it's not only dangerous but illegal. Propellers don't just "shut off". If you fall off the back of the boat while underway and get hit by the prop, you risk the danger of serious injury or death.

Always have a red or orange safety flag on your boat. A raised safety flag signals other boaters that something or someone is in the water. This flag should be visible when anyone is in the water or if your vessel is being towed.

If someone in the water is in distress, be cognizant of their size and your ability to help them. Many people panicking in the water will try to "climb up" someone who is coming to their aid. For your safety as well as the person in the water, it's best to use your throwable personal floation device and throw it to them rather than try to bring them in yourself. Once they are afloat and know they aren't going to drown, you can then retrieve them without risk to yourself.

It is a federal, state, and local offense to throw garbage, plastic, debris, cigarette butts, or other trash into any Arizona waters or shorelines. Please don't be a litterbug! The Lake Havasu Marine Association, in partnership with the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, has placed trash bags around the lake and along the shorelines that are free to grab. Please, "Keep Havasu Beautiful."

Specifically for Personal Watercraft (PWCs)

Although PWCs are considered inboard vessels and fall under the same rules and requirements of any other vessel, there are specific considerations for PWC operators. In 2013, the highest number of PWC accidents involved drivers between the ages of 17-20. Additionally, PWC accidents accounted for 34% of all vessels involved in accidents and 40% of all injuries on the water. Almost all accidents occurred during the day with good weather conditions, good visibility, and calm water. Riding a PWC leaves little room for error and common sense can keep you from becoming a statistic.

1Every person riding or aboard a PWC must wear a Coast Guard-approved life vest (personal floatation device or PFD) at all times.

A.R.S. §5-350

1If the PWC is equipped with a lanyard (an engine cut-off cord), it must be attached to the operator of the PWC.

A.R.S. §5-350

2PWC operators (drivers) shall not operate or knowingly allow another person to operate a PWC under their ownership or control in a reckless or negligent manner, endangering life or property of another. Reckless operation exists if the person commits two or more of the following acts simultaneously:

1. Operates a PWC closer than 60 feet to another vessel unless both are leaving a flat wake or traveling at 5 nautical miles per hour or less.

2. Operates a PWC in a manner that blocks or obstructs the visibility of themselves or another operator of a vessel.

3. Heads into the wake of another vessel that is closer than 60 feet and causes ½ the length of the PWC to leave the water.In layman's terms, it is illegal to jump another boat's wake if the PWC is closer than 60 feet from that boat.

4. Within 60 feet of another vessel, the PWC maneuvers quickly, turns sharply, or swerves, unless the maneuver is necessary to avoid a collision. In layman's terms, approaching another boat for the purpose of "spraying" them with the jet is illegal.

A.R.S. §5-350

1A PWC shall not be overloaded beyond the manufacturer's recommended limits. A.R.S. §5-

2No person may drive in excess of posted speed limits or faster than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions. Drivers must have regard to actual and potential hazards then existing. Speed must always be controlled as necessary to avoid a collision with another person or watercraft, or swamping another watercraft, or endangering the lives or property of other persons. In layman's terms, if you drive too fast and too close to another boat and your wake swamps the other boat, you are responsible for any damage you may cause.

A.R.S. §5-343

2No watercraft shall be loaded and operated with passengers or cargo beyond its safe carrying capacity or the limitations on the manufacturer's load capacity plate.

A.R.S. §5-344

§8.16.140

2The operator of a motorized watercraft shall yield right-of-way to any vessel not under power, unless such non-powered watercraft is overtaking a motorized vessel.

A.R.S. §5-345

2Watercraft operators may pass on either side of any other vessel being overtaken, but the passing operator is responsible for their wake which might cause damage to the overtaken watercraft or danger to the occupants. The overtaken watercraft shall maintain course and speed until such time as the overtaking watercraft is clear. Watercraft approaching head-on shall pass port-side to port-side where practical to do so. In layman's terms, if you pass another boat and your wake swamps the other boat, you are responsible for any damage you may cause. Always pass port-side (left side) when approaching another boat head-on.

A.R.S. §5-345

2Normal traffic on the waterways of this state shall be counterclockwise. Watercraft leaving the shoreline area shall yield right-of-way to watercraft approaching the shoreline area. In layman's terms, keep the shoreline on your right when driving on the lake.

A.R.S. §5-345

§8.16.070

2If towing a person/persons on waterskis, wakeboard, intertube, or similar contrivance, the vessel must have at least two occupants in/on the vessel, an operator and an observer. In layman's terms, there must be at least two people in the boat/PWC when towing someone; the operator and an observer.

A.R.S. §5-346

2Watercraft operators shall not tow a person/persons on waterskis, wakeboard, intertube, or similar contrivance from sunset to sunrise. In layman's terms, it's illegal to tow a skier/wakeboarder/tuber after sunset or before sunrise.

A.R.S. §5-346

2No person shall unreasonably or unnecessarily interfere with other watercraft, with the free and proper use of the waterways of the state, or with areas used for launching. Anchoring or swimming in heavily-traveled channels or launching areas shall constitute such interference.

A.R.S. §5-347

§8.16.090

2No person shall dump, deposit, place, throw or leave refuse, rubbish, debris, filthy or odoriferous objects, substances or other trash on any waterways or the shorelines. In layman's terms, it is illegal to litter the lake, including throwing cigarette butts in the water.

A.R.S. §5-348

3If involved in a collision, accident, or other casualty, operators of vessels must immediately stop the vessel at the scene of the

A.R.S. §5-349

2015 Requirements for Mark Hahn 300 PWC Race – PPF 300 - K38 Water Safety

accident, or as close to the scene as possible (unless doing so will cause serious danger to the operator's own vessel or persons aboard), render assistance, and remain at the scene of the accident to provide their name, address, and identification of the vessel to any person injured and to the owners of any property damaged. If death or injury results from a watercraft collision or accident, a written report must be submitted within 48 hours.

All PWC occupants must wear a life vest at all times while the PWC is underway.

PWCs are propelled by drawing water into a pump and forcing it out under pressure through a steering nozzle at the back of the PWC. This "jet" of pressurized water is controlled by the steering handle (similar to a steering wheel of a car). In the simplest terms, NO POWER = NO STEERING CONTROL. If you are not under power, you have no ability to steer. Many PWC accidents with other vessels and property occur when a PWC operator panics and lets off of the throttle. That, in turn, causes them to lose all steering control so they are unable to avoid collision.

PWCs don't have brakes! Always allow plenty of room for stopping. Just because you release the throttle or shut off the motor doesn't mean your vessel will stop immediately.

PWC operators should always stay a very safe distance from all other vessels and Arizona state law dictates PWC operators must stay a minimum of 60' from other vessels (A.R.S. §5-350). Failure to do so constitutes negligent or reckless operation of a vessel and is considered a criminal misdemeanor.

It is dangerous and illegal for a PWC operator to "splash" a boater with the PWC's jet water. PWC operators must stay a minimum of 60' from other vessels (A.R.S. §5-350). Failure to do so constitutes negligent or reckless operation of a vessel and is considered a criminal misdemeanor.

It is dangerous and illegal for a PWC to "jump a boat's wake." PWC operators must stay a minimum of 60' from other vessels (A.R.S. §5-350). Failure to do so constitutes negligent or reckless operation of a vessel and is considered a criminal misdemeanor.

If towing a skier, wakeboarder, tuber, or similar behind a PWC, there must be at least 2 occupants on the PWC - the driver and a "spotter." The spotter must be backward-facing towards the towee and must have a red or orange safety flag with them to signal when the towee falls.

Reference Material posted here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/180012058710622/

Ferry Traffic -Stay 50’ or 16.6 meters away from the Large Channel Ferry boat that goes back and forth from the Havasu Bridge Channel to the California Side essentially we as racers are cutting across the commercial trackline. Better to go Astern then ahead of their bow. However, please note that the actual law states ’60 feet or 20 meters is what you need to abide by from any of the law enforcement requirements.

Boats & Equipment - All boats entered in the event must be currently registered watercraft (with which ever State is appropriate), and must carry ALL required USCG equipment at ALL times, and must be complete at the end of the race. All riders must wear approved safety equipment at all times while operating the boats. Any violaters will be penalized, or may be disqualified. No one without an event arm band may operate a boat on, or near the race beach during the entire race day.

Civilian Traffic - Please remember at all times that we will be operating on the Lake along with normal boating traffic. Any dangerous passing, discourteous or unsafe operations will result in penalties. This is not a closed course event, we must respect all normal civilian boaters, and display courtesy at all times. Our turn, official, and chase boats will be observing for your safety as well as to preserve the ongoing ability to stage events like this. It is with thanks to the US Coast Guard and the Bureau of Land Management that we are able to produce this event, and their rules must be observed

Fencing & Other Traction Material in Hot Pits - You may bring traction aids into the hot pits such as chain link fencing material. There are two rules, if you bring it, it must be shared. You may not create a lane of traction and reserve it for your exclusive use. The second rule is that you must remove and dispose of any such material that you bring, and you must dispose of it offsite. Any team leaving any material will be fined $100.

Fuel - All fuel must be stored in the Hot Pits, along the back fence nearest the road. You may not use electric transfer pumps in the hot pits. No fuel is permitted to be within twenty feet of the

2015 Requirements for Mark Hahn 300 PWC Race – PPF 300 - K38 Water Safety

10

water. This includes fuel in the back of your truck, Rhino, quad or trailer while you are launching or retrieving. All fueling must be done only in the hot pits during the race. No fuel is available for purchase on site, however there is race fuel, Avgas and conventional fuels available at gas stations within a mile of the race site. You are responsible for removing (completely from Crazy Horse) and disposing safely of any drums, waste, refuse, oil, batteries or other waste that you may generate during the race.3

Fuel Tanks in Race Boats - No additional fuel tanks of any type may be added to any race boat. Only stock fuel tanks with stock fuel capacity are allowed. Quick Fills may be used on Runabout boats only, not on Manufacturers Stock, or Stand Ups. Oil injection tanks may not be used to hold fuel. All boats will be checked.

Hot Pits/ Race Re-Fueling - All fueling operations must be performed in the fueling area, this is a banner-fenced area west of the boat house on the main beach , and is at the east end of the pits, by the DSM semi-trailer. You must have a towel or an absorbent fuel spill diaper, and absolutely no fuel may be spilled. You will be penalized for any fuel spills, so take your time fueling, and use the absorbent towel for added safety. This is an issue of serious environmental concern, so be careful. This area is considered the Hot-Pits, and no smoking will be allowed in the area, and only arm-banded people will be allowed in. Any crew member that will be in this area, or in the water (holding your boat) must be arm-banded. They can do this by going to registration before the race and signing the waiver. Remember, the boats must be fully removed from the water, at least twenty feet prior to any fueling operations. Do not have your fuel cans on your quad or trailer when you back into the water to remove your boat. This is a Federal requirement and will be enforced by us, the US Coast Guard and the Bureau of Land Management. Any violations will result in penalties and/or disqualification.

No one under ten years of age is allowed into hot pits. All equipment must be cleared to allow room for the Le Mans start.

No Open Toed shoes (ie: Flip Flops) are allowed in the Hot Pits. Parking/Pit & Equipment note - You may not bring any vehicles larger than a pick-up and a flat

trailer into the main park at Crazy Horse. No exceptions, do not ask. You may park your equipment in the overflow parking lot where we have parked for the past five years and shuttle down to the beach. This includes motorhomes, and any other vehicles.

Penalties - Penalties for violations of safety or environmental rules or practices will begin with a two lap penalty. Penalties for course violations will begin with a one lap penalty. In addition violators may be subject to citations and fines from the Bureau of Land Management, US Coast Guard and US Fish and Wildlife Service as well as the Lake Havasu City Police Department, Mohave County Sheriff’s Office or the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. (All of these entities are involved in the permitting process for this event.) ANY FINES IMPOSED ON THE EVENT WILL BE CHARGED TO THE OFFENDING COMPETITOR.

Practice - NO practice on the course is permitted other than the parade lap. Quick Fill Fuel Systems - These are allowed in all classes EXCEPT Stand Up and

Manufacturers Stock Race Course - This is subject to change. It is to be noted that the race course crosses the path

of the ferry boat running between the Bridgewater Channel and Havasu Landing at two places. You are to come no closer than 50' to this boat at any time. Failure to keep this distance will result in a penalty. A signed, flagged turn boat will be located at each turn. You must go around the outside of the turn boat. Any passing of the turn boats dangerously close (determination of officials) will be penalized. Remember, if the scorers cannot read your number you may not be scored for that lap. This is your responsibility, not the scorers.

Race Boat Repairs - May not be made in the hot pits. You will use the hot pits for fueling and rider change only. If repairs are needed you must remove your boat from the hot pits and take it to your own pit on the beach. It must be at least twenty feet from the water line before you apply a tool or wrench to it.

Race Completion - The race will be deemed completed when the first boat has completed 30 laps. A shotgun will be fired and the checkered flag will be waived. That will be the winner of that class, and the remaining field will be ranked as they complete the lap that they are on at that time, first by quantity of laps completed, then finishing order to determine the various class winners and positions. At that time all boats will leave the water upon completion of the lap that they are on. In

the event that the race committee determines it necessary and unavoidable to terminate the race without the possibility of restarting it later during the same day as long as one lap has been completed by one boat it will be considered completed and scored as per the results of that lap. There is no possibility of rescheduling the race and no refunds will be made.

Race Pits - You may set up a pit on the main beach at Crazy Horse on Saturday, Race Day, NO EARLIER THAN 7 AM. And no boats may be started, or launched prior to 7:30 am race day. The Pits will start to the west (towards California) from the Hot Pits which are immediately to the west of the boathouse, the only building on the beach. Each team may occupy an area of the beach/water no wider than 10', on a first come basis. Your canopy, trailer and truck must be in a line, not side by side, and may not be on the pavement. The pavement along the beach is available for a single lane of parallel parking ON THE BEACH SIDE OF THE ROAD ONLY. You may not park on the inland side of the pavement at all.

No one under the age of 16 may operate any motor vehicle (pit bike, Rhino, quad, etc.) on the race beach, roads or site at any time or you may be subject to a fine from the property owner and/or penalties applied to that race boat.

Rescue/ Towing on Course - It is required that you carry some sort of flag (it can be just a piece of red or orange fabric) to wave in order to help the patrol/safety boats find you in the event your boat stops on the course. If needed they will tow you back to the pits. It is highly recommended that you carry a cell phone in a waterproof container to also facilitate locating you.

Registration & Check-In - Registration will be conducted at Havasu Powersports, 1040 No. Lake Havasu Ave. from noon until 7 pm on Friday, Feb

Race Site - Crazy Horse Campground, on the Island, Lake Havasu City. Enter the main entrance to Crazy Horse, then stop at the guard shack and pay the day use fee ($15/car load) to the guard. This $15 fee applies to all vehicles, including your pit/tow car/truck. Then you will proceed the main beach at Crazy Horse, the same site as the World Finals. Please remember, we are the guests of the RV folks in the park and conduct yourselves accordingly.

Technical Inspection (& questions) - All boats must undergo a safety & technical inspection to verify their race classification. See class rules above. This will be done at registration at Havasu Powersportsat 1040 North Lake Havasu Blvd, http://havasupowersports.com/store-location.aspx on Friday between 1 pm and 7 pm.

Late inspection by special arrangement will be done at the hot pits Saturday morning between 7 and 8 am. To schedule a late inspection or to ask technical questions please contact our race director, Ross Wallach.

Transponders - The 11th Annual Mark Hahn Memorial race will again be scored electronically. Each team will be required to register when they check in (at Havasu Powersports on Friday) and rent a transponder. The cost for this is $30, and the team will be responsible for the $250 value of the unit until it is returned to our satisfaction. You will mount the unit in the front compartment of your hull and when you cross the scoring loop under the water in the lane next to the scoring boat your passing will be automatically recorded. The system will be backed up manually so all previous scoring/passing/numbering rules apply fully. If the transponder becomes loose in your boat the electronic scoring may become intermittent. This is your responsibility.

Scoring Race Boat Numbers: “Eight inch (8”) black number(s) on a white background to be scored”

0' - 8" = 0.2032 m
