Updated Sailing Instructions

Guest User

Our Sailing Instructions have been updated and are available online. Being among the best laser sailing clubs in the world, it’s important that we are all familiar with our rules of engagement.

There have been some changes to our Sailing Instructions for the winter series including:

  • Winter Championship starts will be a single 5-minute countdown for all fleets, with 4.7s and Radials starting (together) after 3 minutes, and Standards starting after 5 minutes

  • The Winter Championship will include both scratch and handicapped scoring each week

  • Coaching on the course is no longer permitted (this does not affect the BBWP as advertised)

The PRO guide and the COTD instructions have also been updated to reflect these changes.

The discard rules have also changed for ALL our racing series (year-round) as follows:

6-8 races = 1 drop

9-11 races = 2 drops

12-14 races = 3 drops

15-16 races = 4 drops

17-19 races = 5 drops

20-22 races = 6 drops

23-25 races = 7 drops

26-28 races = 8 drops

29-30 races = 9 drops
