Would it be possible to see the rules and regs for the coming season with regards to colours? Sorry to open this back up again but I have spent the last 3 days trying to source a helmet in orange for the round the island race on the 17th and hopefully for ski racing next season if I get my act togther!! Can anyone of the ski lads clarify if bright red is ok or does it have to be orange also does could it be a factury matt finish, RAL numbers etc?
I've tried getting the Nitro NZ250 but they wont have any in stock for anything between 2 weeks and 3 months so any otehr of the shelf suggestion that wont cost me the earth?
Thanks
Dan

N50 Fusion is 22:05 thus complies with RYA rules as they stand.

As helmets generally shouldn't be painted ( it weakens them), using this sticker could mislead anyone buying the helmet into thinking that it is still in spec!
Also, on a motorcycle helmet, it could mislead Police in a roadside check if applied to an illegal helmet. Perhaps powerboat race scrutineers could be misled by it?

Perhaps that's why I posted it! And painting fiberglass does not weaken it.

Hmmmn - yes, valid point there, that would be nasty fraud. Quite bad. OK if it is your own head.

Surely not. They are the best of the best. They have detected that I was running a boat with TWO lead acid batteries!! Nothing gets past them!
