1.
Removal of boats from club premises (ie. for outside competitions) - only on
prior approval of "Racing Co-ordinator". |
|
|
||||||||||
|
|
This
means that the club races get priority. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Authority:
this was a decision of the club Executive in 2008. |

Women's Helm - trophy to a boat with a woman at the helm for all races (can
be a skipper, first mate or crew). |
|
|
||||||||||
|
Winning skippers from previous years, and their boat mates, will not be
eligible to win prizes. |
|

Burlington Sailing Club - will be invited to join us in all our Albacore
races this year. However, |
|
|
|
|
||||||||
|
they cannot win prizes or trophies, except for the "Hamilton Open
Race" and the "Turkey Regatta |
|
|
|

|
5.
We will be calling "start line infractions" this year. This will
mean an immediate sound signal after the |
|
|
|
|||||||||
|
start signal, and an immediate raising of the "Individual Recall"
flag
or "General Recall" flag. |
|
|
|
|
||||||||
|
The boats with the violations will have 4 minutes to circle around the
outside small buoy of the start line
|
|
|
|
|||||||||
|
and start again. Failure to start again will mean disqualification for that
race. Once the offenders
|
|
|
|
|||||||||
|
are correctly started. The recall flags will be lowered. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||
|
"start line infractions" means that any part of the boat or crew
are over the start line. |
