What equipment must a Race Umpire carry?

The Race Umpire must have all the equipment the Rules of Racing require for the safe conduct of the regatta. In particular: a red flag, a white flag, a proper megaphone, both a Yellow Card and a Red Card, and a horn or audible device. The Race Umpire must also make sure their boat carries the prescribed Transport Canada safety equipment (rule 11.16.3). Umpires must also be able to time races, and because coaching with electronic, mechanical or other technical devices is not allowed during a race, the Race Umpire should regularly check the area next to the course, and the crews, for such equipment (rule 11.16.9).
