additional "lay-over” time, have
stricter rules regarding the use of
timepieces and give additional tro

point to control point. The amen
ded predicted log is to be filed in

filing the new predictions are made,
both' by radio-telephone.

guests shall have access to any
time indicating device of any na
ture nor are they allowed to use
any method of determining the
time of day or any period of elap
sed time, except at the control
points or during "lay-over” times.

used by a skipper only at control
points or for navigation in case of
