NOTICE OF RACE:
Come join members of San Juan 21 Fleet 8, Blackbeard Sailing Club and NYRA to promote one-design racing and sailing on the upper Neuse River.
Blackbeard Sailing Club will host and sponsor the event for the San Juan 21 sailors.
The Regatta will be governed by the rules as defined in “The Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012” with the following additions:
-Racing Rule 26 (Starting Races). The “P” flag will be used for the Preparatory
Signal.
A three minute starting sequence will be utilized.
The San Juan 21’s will race on Broad Creek in the vicinity of Blackbeard Sailing Club.
Racing will be on Wednesday evenings beginning April 6 and continuing through June 15.
Racing will be cancelled in the event of adverse weather. This will be at the discretion of the fleet.
For each sailing date:
6:15 - First sequence begins. One or more races to follow based on conditions with three races anticipated. Each race will be approximately 30 minutes in length, with the intention to complete all racing before sundown.
Race organizers will try their best to secure a steady volunteer race committee to support this event. Should we not be able to get volunteers to support a given sailing date, we will ask for volunteers from the class to act as RC for a maximum of one weekday each should it be needed. If needed, the boat who accepts this task will receive average points based on his/her overall series finishes as scores for that day. Everything required to run the race committee duties will be provided.
Sailing Instructions will be available at the skippers’ meeting to be held on April 6 at 6:00PM at Blackbeard Sailing Club.
Classes will include All Sails and Working sails. All classes will start together unless sufficient participation allows for individual class starts.
Courses will vary based on wind and the creativity of the race committee.
A pot luck cook out will be organized following the racing at the BSC pavilion.
Awards will be determined based on a creative evaluation on how best to recognize the participants and volunteers.
Registration is FREE for 2011 - donations will be accepted to be used towards appropriate awards for the series
