"Tonight we are going to do what we call a Pack Cup. It's a race to Hawaii. We have to abide by the offshore racing rules. The boats set-up here in the bay pretty much sail anywhere; up and down the coast and such here and out over in the bay there. Once you hit the open ocean, there, you make some long distance passages. Out there there are different rules you have to abide by. Access to your hatch boards, whether you're inside the boat or outside you have to be able to unlock the boat. You have to have another emergency rudder just in case your steering fails or a whale comes up and knocks your rudder loose. You have to have a way to steer the boat. All boats, especially if they have a wheel out there are required to carry an emergency tiller. If you happen to break a steering cable or something or have a steering failure and can't steer with the wheel you grab your little wench handle come here and open up this access. It gives you access to the rudder post. You come over here and stick that right down the slot like that. Then you steer the boat just by turning this. You can't turn real fast out there, but it'll turn the boat if you have to in an emergency."
