5.2 In the Paralympic two-person keelboat event where the SKUD18 is the designated equipment.
(a) At least one crewmember shall be female, and at least one crew member shall meet the classification criteria for TPA. These two requirements may be met by the same person.
(b) One crew member shall be designated the ‘Trimmer’, and may adjust sheets, halyards and other sail control lines. All sheets, halyards and other control lines shall be led to the Trimmer’s position except as permitted in 5.4(c) below. The Trimmer shall not steer the boat while racing.
(c) One crew member, classified as TPA, shall be designated the ‘Helmsperson’, and shall steer the boat all times while racing. Only one sail control line, which shall not include
sheets, the spinnaker halyard or the spinnaker retrieval line, may be led to the Helmsperson’s position.
(d) Where centreline seating is specified, in accordance with SKUD Class Rules, the Helmsperson shall occupy the aft seat and the steering mechanism shall be accessible
and operable only from that position.
(e) Upon written permission granted by the Event Measurer and the Event Classifiers, a crew member classified as TPA, and sailing with a crew member classified as TPB,
may be designated the Trimmer. This does not change the permitted activities of the Helmsperson and the Trimmer as described in 5.2(a) and 5.2(b) above.

Hi Rick
The updated RMM can be downloaded at http://www.sailing.org/sailors/disabled/competition.php
Only one sail control line, which shall not include sheets, the spinnaker halyard or the spinnaker retrieval line, may be led to the Helmsperson’s position. So that mean’s one of the cunningham, vang, outhaul, main halyard or jib halyard can be controlled by the helm when the World Sailing Race Management Manual applies.
6.2 In the Two-Person Keelboat event where the SKUD18 is the designated equipment:
(a) At least one crewmember shall be female, and at least one crew member shall meet the classification criteria for TPA. These two requirements may be met by the same person.
(b) One crew member shall be designated the ‘Trimmer’, and may adjust sheets, halyards and other sail control lines. All sheets, halyards and other control lines shall be led to the Trimmer’s position except as permitted in 5.2 (c) below. The Trimmer shall not steer the boat while racing.
(c) One crew member, classified as TPA, shall be designated the ‘Helmsperson’, and shall steer the boat at all times while racing. Only one sail control line, which shall not include sheets, the spinnaker halyard or the spinnaker retrieval line, may be led to the Helmsperson’s position.
(d) Where centreline seating is specified, in accordance with SKUD18 Class Rules, the Helmsperson shall occupy the aft seat and the steering mechanism shall be accessible and operable only from that position.
(e) Upon written permission granted by the Event Measurer and the Event Classifiers, a crew member classified as TPA, and sailing with a crew member classified as TPB, may be designated the Trimmer. This does not change the permitted activities of the Helmsperson and the Trimmer as described in 5.2(a) and 5.2(b) above.
The following applies for Level 1 Events:
(a) SKUD18 helm and crew must be safely secured to their seats at all times while racing, by appropriate restraints.
(b) At their loosest adjustment, the restraints must keep the crew seated and within 10 centimetres of the seat backrest (including any back cushion which shall not be removed after measurement) at the measurement point described below at all times and in any crew position. If using a single restraint, the restraint shall cross the pelvic area of the sailor. This means that the measurement shall take place in full sailing outfit (foul weather gear, Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and all other needs for safety).
(c) The measurement point is located in the mid-plane of the back rest, 10cm above the sitting surface.
(d) Restraints must be sufficiently robust to prevent accidental release in case of capsize.
(e) Each and every release mechanism must be identified with bright red or yellow tag for ease of identification in case of emergency.
(f) After seating measurement is completed, both the Helmsperson and Crew must sign a measurement declaration document verifying compliance with Rule 6.2.
(g) Amendments to Class Rules regarding Movement of the Crew within the Boat may be made in the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions for individual events, but only with the consent of the Class.
(h) When approved by the Classification Committee, a closed radio transmission system designed to amplify and enhance communications between the helmsperson and crew may be used. Such a system shall be Bluetooth or similar very short range radio system.
Hope this helps
