J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Handrails...and stuff

I'm looking at Stainless Handrails for the outside too.

But for those people thinking about the removal of the inside handrails you should consider that J/30 Class rules may require them.

But, even more so, The Offshore Racing Council (ORC) regulations require handrails on the INSIDE of the boat for safety at sea. Most races will require that ORC regulations be met.

It is interesting to note that most modern boats do not have any handrails on the outside because ORC does not require them on the outside. The modern boats still have hand rails on the inside where they are required.
