RACE OFFICER/SAFETY BOAT DUTIES: All those participating in racing are asked to contribute to duties. Instructions are available in the race hut and experienced members will be glad to give advice. If you are unable to do your duty on your day, then please arrange for someone to swap with you (update the list of OODs in the race hut and email vicecommodore.utlsc@gmail.com).
It is great to get as many boats on the water as possible, so please feel able to accept if someone not wishing to sail offers to carry out your duty on the day. You will be given a place in the race but an OOD score in the series.
ISAFÂ RULES:
Please make sure you know your Rules of Road and Racing Rules for 2020.
Sportsmanship and the rules. Â Competitors in the sport of sailing are governed by a body of rules that they are expected to follow and enforce. A fundamental principle of sportsmanship is that when competitors break a rule they will promptly take a penalty or retire.
Starting signals, Boats must be off the pontoon and sailing or their crew stood in the water holding the boat afloat, by the four minute signal.
Penalties reminder:Â
Touching a mark, 360 turn (1 tack and 1 gybe)
Any other infringement of the rules 720 turn (2 tacks and 2 gybes).
Penalties to be taken in clear water away from other race boats, before the next mark and in as close a continuous cycle as conditions permit.
