New Sailing Instructions
Kirk Marcolina
The Sailing Committee has tweaked the existing Sailing Instructions for the 2018/19 season (which begins with the Winter Series). You can check them out here. The two biggest changes follow:
- The Winter Championship will be conducted in accordance with the Sailing Instructions in general, with additional provisions specific to the Winter Championship in Annexure 6, which can be seen here.
- The Sailing Instructions now include the new sign on / sign off rule – no score will be recorded unless people sign on before racing and sign off within 30 minutes of the last on-water race committee member returning to shore. Provisions for people signing on and off from other locations are yet to be finalised. As a result, the new sign on / sign off provision will not operate for the Winter Championship.
