Captains Comments
1. Specific detailed arrangements for all programmed events
will be posted on the club noticeboard at least 14 days prior
to each event. Briefings for all events will be held in the
club at 2130 on the day before it starts.
2. Although most events incorporate a competitive
element this aspect of them is neither compulsory nor their
main purpose. Events are designed to be fun and to provide
an opportunity for members to cruise in company with others
and, for those who are not familiar with the cruising area,
to enjoy the added security of exploring the local area with
those who are familiar with their navigational quirks.
3. All members who are planning to cruise
outside of the programmed events are encouraged to post their
plans on both the club noticeboard and the website so that
others who are sailing in the same time period can possibly
join in with your own plans.
Notes for Skippers
• All events are weather dependent but
if adverse conditions are forecast, an alternative cruise
or race will be planned wherever possible. Details will be
discussed at the briefing.
• High water times are B.S.T.
• To safeguard the interests of members,
it is the sole responsibility of every skipper to ensure that
their boat has adequate insurance for events. Please remember
that you the skipper, are responsible for ensuring that your
boat has adequate safety equipment and it will be your decision
as to whether you and your crew are competent to undertake
the voyage in the prevailing weather conditions.
• It shall be the skippers sole responsibility
to decide whether to start or continue an event.
Club Races
• Yachts participating in any Club races
will adhere to the international Regulation for the Prevention
of Collisions at Sea.
• Competing yachts may use their engines
until the warning signal is made (5minute ‘gun’).
Special rules regarding the use of engines during parts of
some races e.g. the Swellies section of the Round Anglesey
Race will be made known to competitors prior to the event.
• Handicaps will be based on the
Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme. |
