Should the 2016 software should be used when the owner of a boat first certified to the previous class rule elects to have his boat re-certified

Answer

A boat with a certificate first issued to previous versions of the class rules may have one or more alternative certificates issued using the process identified in CR A.12.1 (c).

A.12 HULL RE-CERTIFICATION

A.12.1 A hull may be issued with a new certificate, showing dates of re-certification and initial certification as applicable:

(c) when one or more alternative certificates are requested to be valid concurrently with an existing certificate

by application of the procedure in A.9.

A.9 is the standard procedure for certification and no variation is necessary for a boat with a previous certificate.
