Western Australian Consolidated Regulations Western Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) A provision of
regulations 52A, 52B and 52C does not apply to a vessel while it is
taking part in any race or regatta for which permission has been granted by
the chief executive officer under regulation 51C if —
(a) a
written exemption has been granted by the chief executive officer under
subregulation (2) from that provision, for that vessel or description of

(b) the
owner and the person in charge of the vessel comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption imposed on them respectively by the chief
executive officer.
(2) The chief
executive officer may, upon written application, grant an exemption described
in subregulation (1)(a) if he or she is satisfied that the safety of
competitors in the race or regatta will not be endangered by the grant of the
exemption; and may impose conditions on the owners and persons in charge of
vessels taking part therein and on the person or persons by whom the race or
regatta is organized.
(3) Without limiting
the other grounds on which the chief executive officer may refuse to grant an
exemption under subregulation (2), he or she shall not grant an exemption
unless he or she is satisfied that —
