Amending the Starting Sequence
For a particular series, the Sailing Committee may choose to introduce separate starts for different fleets.
This decision will be displayed both on the Sailing Committee noticeboard in the main clubroom and here on our website before the first race of any given series and, will apply to the whole series.
Starting for any subsequent series will revert to one Mass Start unless a further notification is posted.
The notification will include which Fleet board will be used to indicate that particular fleet’s start.
Scoring
All races will be dual scored to give both Class results and Handicap results with the Handicap results being the combined results from the Slow Handicap fleet and the Fast Handicap fleet. Trophies will be awarded to the All Classes’ winner (i.e. the overall series winner as calculated using the PY Handicap system) in each of the club’s various series.
Please note that our Sailing Instructions (SI 14.10) state that the club trophies for the various classes (Merlin Rocket, GP14, Topper, Solo, ILCA, etc.) will only be awarded if, at the end of each series, at least three boats have participated in at least one third of the races run in the series (rounded down).
