Vaucluse Regatta 25 February 2022
Guest User
Saturday 25th of February - DBSC members are invited to sail in the Vaucluse Regatta.
This year the event celebrates its 91st year. As is the case each year, there will be no club racing at DBSC and we will sail up the harbour to join the event which is free however you need to register as soon as possible here.
The Sailing Instructions can be found here.
DBCS members will need to be ready to splash at 12:10 to sail to the course for a 13:20 start.
Members should read the sailing instructions before the event. Here are some salient points to note:
Lasers will have the first warning signal class flag at 1320, with a combined radial and 4.7 fleet starting first
There will be up to 3 races, with all races counting
The course will be 2 laps of windward-leeward legs with an offset mark at the top and rounding to port.
Code flag “I” us likely to be used at the start – boats that are over in the last minute must round the ENDS of the line and come back through it
Boats must keep at least 50m clear of the start line when not in sequence. Please watch out for yachts using the same start line!
The one penalty turn rule (not two) applies.
BE AWARE OF FERRIES and COMMERCIAL SHIPPING in this end of the harbour. They are dangerous and have right of way.
After racing, we are invited to return to VYC for a BBQ. We will take 2 RIBs down to VYC as on-water transport for those members who do not wish to drive.
