MAY 25, 2008

Rules

The regatta will be governed by the rules as defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing 2005-2008, the Rules of the JY15 Class and the Sailing Instructions. Turbo rigs will be allowed, no use of trapeze and no single-handing. Co-skippering is allowed. JY15s are the only eligible boat. See Prizes section below.

Eligibility

The Regatta is open to club members only, and they must be current on their dues. The skipper or co-skipper must have at least their crew sailing test signed off (or equivalent skills), at the time of the regatta. In addition, all sailors must know how to swim - as per club rules.

Schedule

Advance
Registration

The club has only 12 boats available. All are encouraged to pre-register in order to ensure they have a spot in the regatta. If people register after all places are filled, they may be waitlisted. Registration will be available the morning of the regatta if there are boats still available.

To pre-register, email Paul Townsend, Racing Chair with your name, and also the name of your sailing partner. We will maintain a public list of currently registered teams. If you register without a partner, you should let Paul know your preference as to being skipper, co-skipper, or crew, and you will be added to a list of those with partners needed. Once a team is registered, they can choose a sail and hull number to reserve. If no sail or hull is selected by race day, they will be assigned one at random.

Check here for the list of everyone registered.

Prizes

The team sailing the highest-placed boat using a UMSC hull and UMSC sails will have their names engraved on the Dan Rice Plaque which hangs inside the boathouse. Prizes will also be awarded to the top 3 skippers and crew.

Club Rules

No alcohol or pets are allowed on the grounds.
