For Comment by Members
Your committee would like to get members' comments on the proposed updated sailing instructions available via the link below. It has been a while since they were last updated and a few changes are proposed. If you are keen on the application of the racing rules and the administration of regattas generally, please take the time to read the draft and provide us with the benefit of your experience. Your committee will consider all comments at it's meeting on 1st May with a view to implementing these from our May Day Regatta onwards. Hence, all comments should be submitted via email by 27th April please.
Some updates in brief :-
A standard set of courses is included for a range of wind strengths and course lengths.
A new mark is inserted - "Nanny Goat" - Does anyone have any better idea for a name?
All boats required to have $5M third party liability insurance (now pretty much a national standard).
Clarification of the role of the "barging buoy" - referred to as an "inner distance marker" in the redraft.
Race Time limit reduced to 2 hrs 15 min for first boat in division, other boats extended to within 45 minutes of first boat.
Protest Fees inserted - $50 Seniors ; $10 Juniors; $0 Race Committee.
All Divisions alternative penalties set at 360 - reduced from 720.
Instruction inserted outlawing rubbish disposal into the Lake.
And there are bound to be some other minor changes - please have a close look if you are interested.
