On AVRA, as much as we like having fun and like winning, by far the highest priority is safety. We follow the best possible on-board safety practices and adhere to the safety requirements of every event we compete in. We believe in the USCG statement that “The vast majority of boating accidents are caused by operator controllable factors and not by the boat, equipment or environmental factors”. Some resources worth regular review are:
