Regulation prescribes requirements for newly built sailing vessels in

electrical installations and inspections. 7. Objective and rationale:
The existing Regulation on passenger-carrying sailing vessels only
provides stipulations for existing sailing vessels and not for newly
built sailing vessels. In addition, practice has shown us that certain
existing stipulations which do not relate to the construction of new
sailing vessels should be amended or complemented. 8. Relevant

Gazette 1990, 124), as amended subsequently, with appendices. 9.
