– Each boat is to have cell phone communication
– Each group of boats is to have a VHF
– Recommended safety items
o Anchor
o Paddle
o Pencil flares
o Chart
– Buddy system to be used (Buddies to be in close proximity to each other, including Rob Goulden)
– Own provisioning for all legs
– Own booking for accommodation in Maputo and Inhaca
– Choice and payment for “gillies” at skipper discretion
