| Racing Rules: |
Redwood Cup races shall be
governed by simplified racing rules, as follows:
1) Port keeps clear of starboard.
2) Windward keeps clear of leeward.
3) The boat astern keeps clear of the boat ahead.
4) A boat Tacking or Jibing keeps clear of one that is not.
5) Avoid collisions. These racing rules are defensive to
prevent collisions, not offensive to provide racing tactics.
6) If you gain right of way or change course, give the other boat
time to keep clear.
7) The inside boat(s) at two boat lengths from the mark is entitled
to room to round the mark.
8) A boat that is not presently racing keeps clear.
(This is especially important near the start/finish area in reverse-start races.
Let's not have the big boats who are still 10 minutes away from their starts taking wind
from the little boats who are already racing.)
9) Always give way to a boat requesting "sea room" (room
needed to maneuver because of proximity of shallow water, wharfs, 10,000 ton-freighters,
etc), and always sail a proper course while inside the Redwood Creek shipping channel.
10) If you have violated a rule, take a penalty. (360°
circle for touching a mark, 720° circles for fouling another vessel.) |
ALL
SKIPPERS, CREW, FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE WELCOME AT SEQUOIA YACHT CLUB FOLLOWING
THE RACES. |
| Scoring:
The order of finish shall be poste by the Skipper or Crew of teh
participating yachts in the Sequoia Yacht Club lounge. A record of each yacht that
posts their finish order at Sequoia Yacht Club after the race shall be kept for the five
(5) race series. If a yacht does not finish a race it starts, they may post the
number of finishers plus one (1). If a yacht does not start a race, they may post
the number of finishers plus two (2). If a race is cancelled it shall automatically
count as the one throw out. A winner shall be determined by taking the four best
finishes of the participating yachts. The lowest score wins. In the event of a
tie, the yacht that has participated the most wins, if they continue to be tied after the
participation test, they shall share the placement. Awards:
There shall be small keeper awards presented at Sequoia Yacht Club after each race.
At the conclusion of the series the overall winner shall be determined and presented the
Redwood Cup Trophy at a dinner (tentatively at Sequoia YC after the last race).
Start Time: Each Skipper is responsible for
their start time using the start times of these instructions and GPS or POPCORN data.
The start times are based on the course sailed and the San Francisco YRA PHRF
certificate for your yacht. |
