Advertising on your yacht is not permitted and the name of a Yacht shall not promote a commercial enterprise. The code defines advertising as "the name, logo, slogan, description, depiction, a variation or distortion thereof or any other form of communication that promotes an organisation, person, product, service, brand or idea so as to call attention to it or to persuade persons or organisations to buy, approve or otherwise support it". 2)The use of an engine after the Preparatory signal is not allowed. However JOG General Condition 14 c allows its use in a specific circumstance. A Yacht which is required by the Sailing Instructions to pass through an identity gate and does so, for the first time, after her preparatory signal, may use an engine or tow provided that she:- (i) switches off her engine or drops her tow and then completes a 360 degree turn before starting; (ii) does not start until five minutes after her starting signal (iii) reports the incident on her Declaration Form. (Usually the above allows for any delay in your arrival for the start).
