KBRYC SAILING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2008

(Updated 02/08)


Club Championship is scratch racing. There will be two series with four rounds in each.  Ten races are to be sailed in each round.  If the ten races can’t be completed by 4.00pm then the racing can be extended by consensus for up to an hour so racing can be completed.  If racing isn’t complete by 5.00pm the number of races for the day will be those completed by 5.00pm.  To allow boat tuning there will be a five minute break (if needed) after the first, fourth, and seventh races.  Medals or trophies will be awarded to the top three in each series.  Points will accumulate throughout the year for the Club Championship Shield.

Club Point Score is handicap racing. There will be two series with four rounds in each.  Ten races are to be sailed in each round.  If the ten races can’t be completed by 4.00pm then the racing can be extended by consensus for up to an hour so racing can be completed.  If racing isn’t complete by 5.00pm the number of races for the day will be those completed by 5.00pm. To allow boat tuning there will be a five minute break (if needed) after the first, fourth and seventh races.  Medals or trophies will be awarded to the top three in each series.  Points will accumulate throughout the year for the Point Score Shield.

After each race, handicaps will be altered for the next race using this method;

  • 1st will have 30 seconds added to their handicap

  • 2nd will have 20 seconds added to their handicap

  • 3rd will have 10 seconds added to their handicap

  • If there are less than 10 entries to a round, the last finishing boat will have their handicap reduced by 30 seconds

  • If there are 10 to 15 entries in a round, the last 2 finishing boats will have their handicaps reduced by 30 seconds and 20 seconds.

  • If there are more than 15 entries to a round, the last 3 finishing boats will have their  handicaps reduced by 30 seconds, 20 seconds and 10 seconds

  • If a boat has a DNS or DNF then their handicap remains the same.

In the event of a postponement of Championship or Point Score days, racing will be rescheduled to the next Open Day unless otherwise notified.
