Commodore’s Welcome Welcome to the 2016 sailing season at Mount’s Bay. As in previous years, this Year Book sets out the information you need to enjoy a full programme of events including Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and fleet details. However, the number of pages in the Year Book has been increased to provide even more information, including members’ contact information and a short guide to race day duties; the expanded format and colour covers have been funded by advertising. Your Sailing Committee has continued to develop the sailing programme based on feedback from sailors and those who manage racing and after detailed discussion in committee meetings. The key aims of the Sailing Committee continue to be to encourage more people to take part in sailing and to improve the number of participants on each race day. This year, the Sailing Programme includes more “fun” type events which hopefully will encourage those of you who wish to sail but without the pressure of racing. There are a smaller number of club races planned for 2016 compared with recent years. However, there will also be Laser, Mirror, Osprey and Enterprise open meetings, the eight race Mid Bay series and, of course, our Regatta, which will be held on 31 July 2016. There will also be the popular “Family Fun Day”, which coincides with the RYA’s ‘Push the boat out’ initiative, charity sails, cruises and other still-to-be-planned events. I hope that the Sailing Programme will provide you with a good selection of races and fun events and will encourage you to get involved in Club activities. Training dates have been included in the Sailing Programme this year. The benefits of race training are clear: standards have improved, particularly in the Mirror fleet. There will also be ‘off the water’ training. I hope that in addition to improving standards the Club’s training programme will lead to an increase in the number of boats on the water. The Club now owns three Mirrors, two Lasers, two RS200s, an RS Vision and an RS Q’BA. The opportunities to get on the water have never been better, even if you have never sailed before. This year’s National Championship hosted by the Club is the popular RS200 class – the event will take place from Saturday 20th to Thursday 25th August and some 80 boats can be expected for some exciting, competitive sailing. Put the dates in your diary if you are planning to get involved. The Cub offers opportunities for all members to be involved – if you would like to help out but don’t know how please ask me – there is always plenty to do! Sailing starts on Saturday 2nd April. I plan to be there - I hope you are too. Clive Goodhead Commodore 3

Ben’s Cornish Kitchen - 50 yards from MBSC

West End, Marazion, TR17 0EL, Tel: 01736 719200 “A remarkable, small, gloriously civilised restaurant of quiet ambition. The Priors are knocking out lovely plates of food.” Jay Rayner, The Guardian

Ben’s Cornish Kitchen with its exposed granite, whitewashed walls , solid wooden floor and quality furniture gives off a real Cornish feel and with such a tantalising menu it’s sure to attract the most avid diner.” EatOut Cornwall

National Championships Every year since 1976 we have hosted a National or International sailing championship and MBSC has become one of the most popular venues for these events in the U.K. This year we welcome back the RS200 fleet who were last here in 2013 when almost 100 boats took part and they enjoyed a very competitive event combined with a very lively social programme. Over the years we have built up a reputation for high quality championships and we have a great deal of knowledge and experience in the club. A successful championship every year is vital to the wellbeing of our club both financially and culturally. In recent years a small group of members have been responsible for running the championships and we need to encourage more, younger members to get involved in planning, organising, running and supporting this annual event so that we can continue to host these prestigious events way on into the future. This year David Howard is Chair of the Championship Committee, Kate Ford is Secretary and Peter Jelliss is Race Officer. We need to fill lots of spaces in the organisation to enable the event to run successfully. Here is an opportunity for members to get involved and to see how to run a championship by giving support to the experienced officers and to help with some of the many tasks and jobs during a busy week. Here are some of the jobs available: Championship Committee members to help organise the event On the water; recording and signalling on the Committee Boat; cox or crew on a safety boat, not only for safety but to help set the courses using GPS under the guidance of the Race Officer. These jobs give the opportunity to watch and learn a great deal about competitive racing close up! Off the water help is needed for the Beach Master to get the competitors on the water and ashore again efficiently and safely and to manage their trolleys. The clubhouse needs to be managed all day and every evening to operate the bar and to help with food and snacks. Your help with these and many other minor jobs is needed for a big team effort which makes it all very enjoyable and satisfying on completion.

RS200 National Championships Saturday August 20th to Friday August 26th 2016 Make a note of the dates and volunteer now!

Mirror Class It has been six years since the last dedicated Mirror page in a club publication and, whilst the class is in much ruder health than it was at that point, there is still plenty of scope for others to come and join in the fun; even easier with the 2016 sailing programme. The class continues to develop under the leadership of Class Captain Nick Medlicott and the invaluable guidance of Training Officer Steve George; to the point that Mirrors made up nearly 50% of the boats sailing on any given day in 2015, a figure we would like to exceed in the future. We currently boast three of the finest wooden Mirrors for the use of any club member who cares to try their hand in a fleet offering friendship, joy and competition to any level of sailor from absolute novice upwards. This year will see our youngest sailor turn 5 and the oldest 90 – it really is the dinghy for all comers. The three fleet leaders have all represented the club at regional level and for the first time in several years are threatening to continue on to greater things. While Amy, Stan and Lily are soaring upwards and onwards, there remain a solid core of regular sailors bringing on the next generation and showing what an absolutely fabulous little boat the Mirror is and how much pleasure messing about on the water in one can be. As ever in any minority sport there is always a desire to have more people involve themselves and I would like to take this opportunity to say that anyone, be they a complete beginner or a salty old sea dog looking for a return to a life on the ocean wave, will be welcomed into the fold whenever they feel like having a go. The Mirror World Championships come to Cornwall in 2017 so this really is the time to join us. Rob Bodé Mirror Sailor

Why Sail a Laser? The simple answer is because it’s fun. As a novice sailor the first fun is trying to keep the boat upright! A laser is notoriously tippy but once the basics are mastered you’ll soon find you spend more time in the boat! The best fun is surfing down a wave. A laser can hop onto a wave in any conditions, albeit a joyful ride on a small wavelet or the pure exhilaration of blasting down mast height waves in 30 knots!  With three 3 different sized rigs (4.7 , Radial and Standard ) a Laser can be sailed at any double digit age and if interested in racing, the Laser is  a one design boat so it is the helm’s performance that will predominantly determine results. Most sailing clubs have a few Lasers so you should always be able to find someone to race against and being an Olympic Class sailing dinghy there is a countrywide network of training and events for all ages from Youths to Great Grand Masters organised by the UKLA that can accommodate your aspirations to any level. Whether it is going out for a few waves with some mates or setting your sights on Olympic Gold....the Laser is fun! Our club has all the resources you need to sail a Laser. We have two Lasers which may be used by club members for a small maintenance fee. The position of the club and launching area makes it easy to go sailing and we have a wealth of experienced sailors, some of whom are of a very high standard and have top training skills. With a full sailing programme from April to October there is plenty of opportunity. Simply contact the Laser Fleet Captain for any further advice to get started. Peter Williams Laser Fleet Captain

Membership forms are available in the Clubhouse or from the Hon. Membership Secretary.  New members who join the Club during the sailing season and require a berth in the dinghy pen should contact their Class Captain who will allocate a berth to them. 6. DUTIES The Club operates mainly on the basis of members volunteering for duties to assist with racing management, safety boat crews, bar or catering. Information about these are contained in the sections below. 7. THE CLUBHOUSE Situated in Marazion, facing St Michael’s Mount, the Clubhouse premises include a large Clubroom and bar, a sun lounge, a terrace overlooking the beach (available to members at all times, even when the Clubhouse is closed), changing rooms, toilets, kitchen facilities and storerooms.

The fees for temporary membership are displayed in the Clubhouse. Visitors should ask for the Hon. Membership Secretary or any Committee member to enrol them. Temporary members who require a berth in the dinghy pen should ask the Club officer who signed their temporary membership form to allocate them a berth. 12. CAR PARK PASS A limited number of car park passes are available for the car park immediately adjacent to the dinghy pen or the Folly Field from the Hon. Sailing Secretary. A car park pass entitles the holder to use the car park for official Club sailing events, when flag ‘R’ is flying from the Clubhouse, other than championships. Whenever possible, cars should not be parked on the sea facing side of the car park and they should be removed after the conclusion of the sailing event. 14

13. THE DINGHY PEN The Club’s dinghy pen is situated 250 metres to the west of the Clubhouse. It has space for approximately 100 dinghies. The dinghy pen is managed by the Sailing Committee. Boats and trailers may only be placed in the dinghy pen with the prior permission of the Sailing Secretary, which should be requested only after the appropriate dinghy pen fee has been paid to the Hon. Membership Secretary. Boats that are left in the dinghy pen without payment of the appropriate fee may be disposed of in the manner prescribed by the RYA. Catamarans may be kept in the pen subject to space being available. Catamaran owners may be asked at any time to remove their craft, with a proportionate refund of the fee paid, if space is required for a dinghy eligible for class racing or for a punt. Canoes and kayaks may not be kept in the pen. Powerboats are not allowed in the pen without special permission. Combination road trailers may be left to secure owners’ boats in their allocated spaces. Loose trailers (other than those owned by the Club) must not to be left in the dinghy pen for more than 48 hours. Boats and other equipment are left in the dinghy pen entirely at members’ own risk. All boats must be insured by way of a marine insurance policy for the whole period that the boat is kept in the dinghy pen. Boats should be tied down securely to the heavy-duty ground level cables where provided. Boat owners are expected to take an active part in maintaining the orderly appearance of the dinghy pen. Dogs (except assistance dogs) are not permitted in the dinghy pen. Boats may not be placed in the dinghy pen prior to a date one week before the first race in the Club’s Sailing Programme and must be removed from the dinghy pen after the end of the Club’s Sailing Programme by 30 November, or such later date as may be agreed by the Sailing Committee. 15

14. DUMPER TOW VEHICLE A dumper tow vehicle is available for towing dinghies up and down the beach. The dumper tow vehicle shall be driven only by the designated drivers specified by the Sailing Committee. The dumper tow vehicle may not be driven on any highway. The dumper tow vehicle is always to be returned to the dinghy pen when not in use, IT IS NOT TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED ON THE BEACH. 15. DINGHY CLASSES The Club has three adopted classes: International Laser (a 4.2m singlehanded performance racing dinghy); International Mirror (a 3.3m racing and all-purpose dinghy); and Osprey (a 5.3m 2 or 3 person high performance dinghy). The Club also has a monohull handicap fleet, which currently includes the following classes of boat racing regularly: Lark, RS100, RS200, RS Vareo, RS Vision and Phantom. Each class or fleet has its own Class Captain, who deals with all matters relating to their individual class. New members are advised to contact the appropriate Class Captain - see classes section in this Year Book for names and contact information. 16. RACING TIMES Start times of races are shown in the Sailing Programme included in this Year Book. Races usually start from St Michael’s Mount unless a ‘Boat Start’ is indicated. 17. CLUB DINGHIES The Club owns two RS200s, two Lasers, an RS Vision, an RS Q’BA and three Mirror dinghies that may be used by Club Members during normal racing or designated training times. The Training Officer and /or the Class Captains have the discretion to restrict the use of Club dinghies for any reason that they believe is appropriate. Booking and payment of the appropriate booking fee may be arranged through the appropriate Class Captain. Members should be aware that they will be responsible for any damage caused to the boats while in their care. It is a condition of use that you pay the first £50 (the insurance excess) of any damage caused to a Club dinghy during its use. 16

18. SAFETY BOATS  Safety Boats are provided on race days for competitors taking part in club racing. They will not normally be available to other boats outside the race area, nor will they be available once club racing has finished. Competitors are reminded that the first consideration of safety boats is the safety of competitors. The Club’s safety boats may only be used for official Club events or on such other occasions agreed by the General Purposes Committee, the Sailing Committee or by any two of the following Club officers: Commodore; Hon. Sailing Secretary; and Boats Officer. No person under 18 years of age is permitted to drive the safety boats and no person under 16 years of age is permitted to crew the safety boats. No unauthorised persons are permitted on the safety boats. Safety boats are not available for personal hire or reward. Safety boat crews must wear lifejackets/buoyancy aids when at sea. Safety boat coxswains must use kill cords when underway. 19. INFORMATION FOR RACE MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY BOAT CREW DUTIES Race Management and Safety Boat Crew Duties will be shared fairly between Club members who volunteer through their membership application and will be allocated duties on a basis determined by the Sailing Committee. Each Race Management Duty allocated to a member will be specified on the Club’s online ‘Dutyman’ roster. Members are responsible for arranging a substitute if they are unable to do their Duty and for recording the relevant changes in the ‘Dutyman’ roster. If a member does not turn up for their Race Management Duty they, or in the case of crews, their usual Helm or their usual boat will score DNE (Disqualification Not Excludable) for the race(s) concerned. For the avoidance of doubt, the member required to carry out a Duty is the member who appears in the ‘Dutyman’ roster at the time of the Race Management Duty concerned.

17

19.1 If your duty is race management or helm/crewing the XS RIB and the causeway is closed you will need to catch a duty Mount ferry boat. Timings are below. If your duty is outside these times you will need to book a ferry boat by phoning the Changehouse 01736 710 265. 19.2 After racing XS Safety boat crews will normally be picked up by the duty Mount Boat from the RIB. If you are race management team, please wait at the head of the queue and wait to be called forward by the duty ferry boat Helm. 19.3 There are 3 landing stages the ferries use, depending on the state of the tide as to the current one in use.

Approx High tide – Top Teib Harbour Mid tide – Gwelva Landing Low tide –Chapel Rock



The duty boat for staff timings and duties (leaving from the Mount)08:00 08:30 09:00 09:30 10:00 11:00 12:00 13:15 14:00 15:00 16:00 16:30 17:00 18:00



If you fail to catch the duty ferry boat, please wait for the next available duty boat. Some of the ferry boats are privately operated which shouldn’t be used by sailing club members for their duty. Please be courteous and polite to staff, visitors and islanders when on pierhead duty and on the duty boats to and fro the island. Please all stay seated when on the mount boats. 19.4 If you have a race management duty you should aim to meet at the Sailing Clubhouse carpark at the following times: For races that start at: 10:30 – meet at 08:45 14:30 – meet at 13:00 19:00 – meet at 17:45 19.5 The Race Officer (Radio callsign “Pier Head”) guide gives step by step information to completing this duty: Look at the tide times and if the start is near low water phone the Changehouse to arrange for the boats to be moored outside the harbour. If the weather is marginal and the top end of safety again the Changehouse staff can be contacted to see if the harbour is Black Flagged. Please be courteous to the Mount staff, we rely on their help to make race management go smoothly. 18

19.6 Your main role is to help the Race Officer with his duty of organising the race. If you have any questions please ask and try and learn about race management to support future events. 19.7 The Recorder’s role is to complete the race details and timings in the result sheet as the race progresses. 19.8 During races with 20+ boats the Recorder’s job gets very busy and job sharing can help with accuracy and speed completing the forms. 19.9 The Beach Master (Radio callsign “Beach”) is not always an allocated duty, but if you take up this role, you should meet the Race Officer at the clubhouse and draw a radio from the radio locker. Your main roles are to relay messages from the Race Officer to the sailors and pass numbers of boats that are racing. 20

SAFETY BOAT TEAMS

20.1 The XS RIB (Radio callsign “XS”) is moored in the Mount Harbour so crews should meet the Race Officer in the clubhouse carpark at the times above and catch the duty boat. The first job of the crew of the XS is to get to sea and advise the Race Officer of the conditions out in the bay with wind speed, direction and swell conditions. The Race Officer will then give information over the radio on which course will be laid and where the marks are to be set. Finally, report any damages, breakages or collisions, in both equipment and another boat to the Race Officer. 20.2 The 4.5m Viking RIB (Radio callsign “VIKING) is kept in the garage in the dinghy pen. The crew for the Viking should be ready to go the pen at least 1 hour before the start of the race. This will allow you enough time to arrange launching the boat and start laying the course under the direction of the Race Officer. Once you have arrived and have the garage open, switch on the radio and call up the Race Officer to let them know you are getting ready. Ensure you dress for the weather conditions on this boat – you can get wet launching and on the water. To get the RIB out of and into the garage it will be moved by an authorised driver of the dumper tow vehicle, speak to a member of the sailing committee to arrange launching Finally, report any damages, breakages or collisions, in both equipment and another boat to the Race Officer. 19

RISK STATEMENT

Rule 4 of the Racing Rules of Sailing states: “The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.” Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore involves an element of risk. By taking part in the event, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that: a) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event; b) They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore;  c) They accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions;  d) Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate;  e) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats, umpires and other officials and volunteers by the organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities;  f) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances; and  g) Their boat is adequately insured, with cover of at least £3 million against third party claims. 21

If a Helm changes class (including Laser full rig to radial, etc.) then a new entry shall be recorded. The William Jago Trophy shall be raced for on Sunday 19 June 2016 unless weather conditions are not suitable for racing on that day in which case the event shall be rescheduled to another day. Each class shall set their own criteria for results to be awarded to a designated helm or boat. St. Ives Sailing Club’s Regatta will be held on Saturday 25th June 2016. Penzance Sailing Club’s Regatta will be held on Saturday 9 July 2016. 30

RULES ADVISORS The Club has a number of ‘Rules Advisors’ who may be contacted about interpretation of the Racing Rules and the Club’s Sailing Instructions and to request arbitration hearings in accordance with the principles of the RYA Racing Charter (see SI 16.2). The current Rules Advisors are Pippa Evans, Peter Jelliss, Nick Harvey and Malcolm Woolcock.

RYA RACING CHARTER The Club has adopted the RYA Racing Charter, the aim of which is to promote fair and enjoyable racing for all. Under the Charter, competitors should expect: •

racing that, as far as possible, is fair, enjoyable and safe.

• shore facilities, administration and race management to acceptable standards and appropriate to the event. • a way to complain or make a suggestion, and a response to complaints and suggestions. •

prompt resolution of any disputes.

What is expected of competitors: • courtesy and respect to other competitors, officials, and other users of the water, both afloat and ashore. •

compliance with the rules, and take a penalty when required by the rules.

•

use of the provided services to resolve any disputes.

More information on the Charter may be found on the RYA’s web site. 31

SAILING INSTRUCTIONS (Separate sailing instructions will be issued for Championships, Open Meetings, Mid-Bay races and ‘Bart’s Bash 2’) 1. RULES Racing is governed by the rules as defined in the current ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), the prescriptions of the RYA, any appropriate class rules and these Sailing Instructions. In the event of a conflict between documents, these Sailing Instructions shall prevail. 2. RISK STATEMENT Rule 4 of the Racing Rules of Sailing states: “The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.” Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore involves an element of risk. By taking part in the event, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that: a) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event; b) They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore;  c) They accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions;  d) Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate;  e) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats, umpires and other officials and volunteers by the organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities;  f) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances; and  g) Their boat is adequately insured, with cover of at least £3 million against third party claims. 32

3.

NOTICES TO COMPETITORS

Notices to competitors will be posted on the official notice board located near the Race Office in the Dinghy Pen. 4.

CHANGES TO SAILING INSTRUCTIONS

A change to sailing instructions will be signalled by flag ‘L’ displayed ashore. Such a change will be posted on the official notice board located near the Race Office in the Dinghy Pen at least one hour before the scheduled starting time of the first race on the day it will take effect. 5.

SIGNALS MADE ASHORE

5.1 Signals made ashore will be displayed either at the Clubhouse flagpole or at a flagpole in the Dinghy Pen. 5.2 On sailing days, flag ‘R’ will be displayed ashore, normally at the Clubhouse flagpole. The Officer of the Day (OOD) will assess whether conditions are suitable for racing that day and if it is decided that conditions are not suitable flag ‘R’ will be lowered before the scheduled starting time of the first race. 6.

SCHEDULE OF RACES

The programme of race dates and times is set out in the Club’s Year Book. 7.

CLASS FLAGS



Class flags are: Class Laser Mirror Handicap

Flag “Laser” Numeral 6 “H”

except that for Club Champion, William Jago and Commodore’s Cup races, when all classes start together, the class flag shall be flag ‘H’. 33

8.

RACE SIGNALS

8.1 All race signals (courses, number of rounds, start sequence, etc.) will be displayed either from the Pierhead (Pierhead Start) or from a Committee Boat displaying an ORANGE flag (Committee Boat Start). 8.2 Cancellation or postponement signals may be displayed either from the Pierhead or a Committee Boat. 8.3 When a Committee Boat start is planned, a ‘Boat Start’ board may be displayed by the Dinghy Pen gate. 9.

THE COURSES

9.1 The diagrams in Appendix I show the courses, including the approximate angles between legs and the order in which marks are to be passed. Red (port) or green (starboard) flags indicate on which side the marks shall be left (starting and finishing marks excepted). The Turning Mark is to be disregarded on the first leg. It is a mark of the course on the final leg. 9.2 For Club Champion, William Jago and Commodore’s Cup races all boats shall sail the same course. For other races, unless flag ‘F’ is displayed, a Long Course and a Short Course will be set. When both a Long Course and a Short Course are set, Mirrors and, on Tuesdays and Fridays, Lasers shall sail the Short Course; other boats shall sail the Long Course. 9.3

The course flags are: Course Description 1 2 3 4

Triangle Triangle / Sausage Windward / Leeward Details will be provided in a notice to competitors (see SI 3).

Flag Numeral 1 Numeral 2 Numeral 3 Numeral 4

9.4 This SI (9.4) applies unless Flag ‘A’ is displayed, except that it does not apply for Club Champion, Regatta, William Jago and Commodore’s Cup races. When Course 1 or Course 2 is signalled and there are at least two asymmetric boats preparing to race: 34

a) In the event of a windward start, notwithstanding the course flag displayed, asymmetric boats shall sail Course 3.  b) Otherwise, asymmetric boats shall sail the course signalled to the first leeward mark. Thereafter, they shall sail a windward / leeward course until the final round when they shall sail the course signalled to the finish line. Boats completing this course will be deemed to have completed a round each time they rounded the leeward mark. Anyone not complying with this rule will be disqualified without a hearing. This changes RRS 28.2. 9.5 The number of rounds of the course to be sailed will be indicated by numbers on a board. 10. MARKS 10.1 The start/finish mark will be buoy displaying MBSC Burgee. The Turning Mark will be a 3 ft red ‘dumpy’ mark. The Long Course marks will be 5 ft red cylindrical marks and the Short Course marks will be 3 ft orange ‘dumpy’ marks. If a single course is set, marks may be either the cylindrical or dumpy marks. 10.2 In the event of non-availability of equipment or equipment failure, marks described in SI 10.1 may be substituted by alternatives. Substitute marks may not be of the same size, shape or colour. 11.

THE START

11.1 The start time indicated in the Year Book is the start time of the first class. The Warning Signal will be 6 minutes before the start time. The Preparatory Signal will be 3 minutes before the start time. Lasers will normally start first, followed at 3 minute intervals by the Handicap fleet and the Mirror class. This amends RRS 26. 11.2 Class Starts may be combined and the order of start may be changed. Class flags will be grouped accordingly. 11.3 For Club Champion, William Jago and Commodore’s Cup races all boats shall start together. 35

11.4 For a Pierhead Start, the starting line will be between a staff displaying Flag ‘P’ on the Mount Pier and the Line Buoy. For a westerly course, the starting line is to be crossed from east to west. For an easterly course, the starting line is to be crossed from west to east. 11.5 For a Committee Boat Start, the starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag on the committee boat and the Line Buoy. The first mark will be to windward of the committee boat. 11.6 A boat starting later than three minutes after her starting signal will be scored Did Not Start without a hearing. This changes RRS A4. 11.7 In RRS 29.1 (Individual Recall), “four minutes” is replaced by “one minute”. In the event of an individual recall, the sail number or numbers will be hailed if possible. This amends RRS 29.1. 11.8 After a general recall, the class recalled will be restarted after the last normal class start. This amends RRS 29.2. 12.

CHANGE OF THE NEXT LEG OF THE COURSE

Marks may be moved after the start, without notification, to maintain a good course. This amends RRS 33. 13.

THE FINISH

13.1 For a Pierhead Start, the finishing line will be between a staff on the end of the Mount Pier and the Line Buoy. Boats must cross the line in the opposite direction to the start. 13.2 For a Committee Boat Start, the finishing line will be between the staff on the Committee Boat and the Turning Mark. See Appendix II ‘Boat Starts and Finishes’. 13.3 If a shortened course is signalled, boats shall proceed to the finishing line at the end of their then current round except that boats sailing their course under SI 9.4b shall sail their normal course to the finishing line. Boats may be finished earlier in accordance with RRS 32.2(a). This amends RRS 32.2. 36

13.4 When the first boat in the Handicap Fleet finishes (or earlier if the OOD wishes to shorten course for this fleet only) a square orange board may be displayed (no sound signal). Once this board is displayed all Handicap Fleet boats shall proceed to the finishing line at the end of their then current round, except that boats sailing their course under SI 9.4b shall sail their normal course to the finishing line. 14.

TIME LIMITS

14.1 Boats failing to finish within 30 minutes after the first boat in their class sails the course and finishes may be scored Did Not Finish without a hearing. Alternatively, at the discretion of the OOD, these boats may be awarded the places they were holding at the time. This amends RRS 35 and A4. 14.2 When a race is becoming prolonged, Flag ‘L’ (over the respective Class Flag(s)) may be displayed, accompanied by two sound signals, to indicate that the positions of all boats racing will be taken as their finishing positions. Boats will be notified by the Safety Boats and shall return ashore, or to the starting area for any further race, immediately. 15. DECLARATIONS 15.1

Competitors shall sign on indicating an intention to race before racing.

15.2 Competitors shall sign off upon return to shore declaring that they have completed the race in accordance with the rules or have retired. Competitors to whom SI 9.4 applies shall also declare the number of rounds completed. When more than one race is sailed, competitors shall complete a sign-off declaration for each race; however these may be completed after completion of the last race. 15.3 The time limit for signing off shall be the lowering of the ‘R’ flag displayed ashore. 15.4 If a competitor fails to sign-on or sign-off in person, they shall incur a 20% penalty added to their score for the corresponding race or races (example – 5 starters means 20% = 1 point), subject always to a minimum of 1 point. 37

16.

PROTESTS AND REQUESTS FOR REDRESS

16.1 Protests and requests for redress shall be delivered to a Club Rules Advisor, Club Officer, Class Captain or Committee Member (as listed in the Club’s Year Book) no later than two hours (one hour for Club Regatta) after the last boat has finished the last race of the day. This amends RRS 61.3. 16.2 Arbitration hearings in accordance with the principles of the RYA Racing Charter may be requested. If the protestor and protestee agree, a penalty score of 20% of the series entry number (subject to a minimum of 2 points) may be added to the finishing score of the infringing boat. 17. SCORING 17.1 The Low Point system of RRS Appendix A will apply, except that for the Club Regatta ties will be broken based on the scores in the final race completed. 17.2 The minimum number of starters to count for points in any race will be two. 17.3 The number of races to count in a series will be two thirds of the completed races, fractions being rounded up to the next whole number, except that for the Club Regatta all races completed shall count. 17.4 For those classes where points are awarded to the boat, when a member acquires an alternative boat within the class they may apply in writing to the Sailing Committee to transfer results to the new boat. 17.5.

Claims for average points

17.5.1 Helmspersons who travel to official class Traveller Series, Open Meetings, Area or National Championships, or who otherwise represent the Club, may claim an average points position for a single race in each series. Any races for which average points are claimed must coincide with the official published date(s) of the outside event(s) and members must notify the Sailing Committee at the earliest reasonable opportunity after the event taking place. 17.5.2 Helmspersons who carry out an official Club race duty on a day for which either one or two race(s) is/are scheduled may claim an average points position for up to two races actually sailed on that day. 38

The Sailing Committee may place limits on the number of races for which average points may be claimed for a series. 17.5.3 Average points shall be calculated from the helmsperson’s score for all of the boat’s series scores, except for the race(s) in question and except for any DNC score(s) that do(es) not exceed the number of scores that can be discarded in the series. 17.5.4 At the absolute discretion of the Sailing Committee other circumstances may be considered on their own merits but will not act to create precedent. 18.

SAFETY REGULATIONS

18.1 Adequate personal buoyancy shall be worn by all crewmembers at all times while afloat. Flag ‘Y’ will not be displayed. Anyone not complying with this rule will be disqualified without a hearing. Wetsuits do not constitute adequate personal buoyancy. Inflatable type buoyancy aids will not be considered adequate unless inflated fully. This changes RRS 40. 18.2 Every boat shall carry a rope suitable for towing that is not less than 10 metres in length and 6mm in diameter.

39

Skin Cancer, Sun Protection and Sailing Skin cancer is a disease of the body’s skin cells usually as a result of skin cell damage. Skin cancer can grow when the cells which make up our skin are damaged, causing them to grow abnormally. Each time your skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, changes take place in the structure and function of our skin cells. Over time, the skin can become permanently damaged, which will worsen with each exposure. Every additional decade of overexposure to UV further increases your risk of skin cancer. Increased use of sun protection against sun exposure will help prevent skin cancer and melanoma at any age. All skin types can be damaged by exposure to UV radiation. People with skin types which are less likely to burn are still at risk, albeit lower, of developing skin cancer. How does sailing affect this? Anyone can develop a skin cancer, and this risk increases with time; however, some people are more likely to do so than others. A significant risk factor for development of skin cancer is in people who do an outdoor recreation such as gardening, cycling, golf or sailing (without the use of sun screen). In particular for us sailors the amount of UVA and UVB increases by about 50% compared to land based sports, due to reflection off the water. What can we do to reduce our risk? Sun cream. Sunscreen is one of the most common methods of sun protection. Use SPF 30 or higher broad spectrum, water resistant sunscreen. SPF30 sunscreen filters 96.7% of UV radiation and SPF 50 filters 98%. Both provide excellent protection as long as they are applied properly. ‘Broadspectrum’ means that the sunscreen filters both UVA and UVB radiation. When using sunscreen, remember: No sunscreen provides full protection so never rely on sunscreen alone for sun protection. During the daily sun protection times (when the UV Index is 3 and above), combine sunscreen with sun-protective clothing, a broad-brimmed hat that protects the face, head, neck and ears, shade and sunglasses. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you go outside and again every two hours (whether or not the label tells you to do this). Use a generous amount of sunscreen. The average-sized adult should apply more than half a teaspoon of sunscreen (about 3 ml) to each arm and the face/ neck (inc l uding ears), and just over one teaspoon (6 ml) to each leg, the front of the body and the back of the body. That is, approximately 35 ml of sunscreen for one full body application. 44
