Any New Licence Holders that haven’t previously had a Cockpit Immersion Test you will not be able to race a cell boat until such time as you have been able to complete one.
If you have been issued a Licence and have been racing an Open deck boat and are going to be racing a Cell boat then you must have competed in and have your licence endorsed at one Club Day prior to entering a C1 event, providing you have recently completed a Cockpit Immersion Test.
To be eligible to be upgraded from a Limited Licence to an Unlimited Licence you must race/drive an Unlimited Boat to gain your required two signatures to upgrade (one signature per event). You won’t be eligible for signatures if you race a Limited boat in an Unlimited race.
Day Licences are per Day, so if its a 2 day meeting and you want to race on a Day Licence then you’ll need 2 x Day Licences and 2 will be eligible to to be deducted if you upgrade to a Full Yearly Licence and only 1 for a Half Year Licence.
Your Medical is only valid for 6 weeks from the date you have it done until you submit your licence paperwork. Ensure your Doctor has put their stamp over their signature, no stamp, no licence!
