Reasonable extra buoyancy ( in excess of 12.5 kg equivalent) bow and stern All boats used in marathon racing must have sufficient buoyancy to support the boat and crew in the event of a capsize. Inherent buoyancy in composite boats is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Additional foam or airbags must be fitted. Race organisers have the right to refuse entry to the race should they deem any craft unfit for purpose. Sea Kayaks with bulk heads and hatches are deemed to comply with buoyancy requirements.
