The Merchant Shipping (National Small Vessel Safety) Regulations of 2007 specifically envisaged the need for controlled events, and SAS has been authorised to approve controlled events. The idea of a controlled event is to allow the organisers of the event to relax one or more aspects of the regulations provided adequate compensating safety arrangements have been made.
