4 WELCOME TO 2016 VAJDA NORTH- ERN MARATHON SERIES Welcome to the 2016 VAJDA Northern Marathon series. VAJDA vajdacanoes.com.au/ have again come on as our sponsor and have provided us with the printing of this handbook. In 2015 we didn t have a printed handbook to accompany the series. Many of our older paddlers missed it. So please appreciate this printed copy and put it in your car glove box. It will come in handy when trying to find out where in the heck that race start is. This year we will again have an 8 race series with 4 events hosted by NSW clubs and 4 events by Queensland clubs. The required number of races that an entrant needs to complete in order to qualify for a medal in a particular class at the end of the series is 5 races. So you will have to cross the border at least once in order to get a medal. In order to promote even greater participation in the series, PaddleHQ at Tugun paddlinghq.com/ have kindly donated a paddle. This paddle will be raffled at the series presentation night at Currumbin on Saturday 17 September. In order to enter the raffle you must have entered at least 6 races and be present at the presentation night. So happy paddling in Colin Cussel (editor) au VAJDA 2016 Northern Marathon Series Booklet p 4

5 GENERAL INFORMATION Organisation The Northern Marathon Series attracts a wide spectrum of paddlers from New South Wales and Queensland. Races in the Series are conducted by the hosting Canoe Clubs and are linked by a point score designed to promote participation as well as acknowledge the speediest paddlers. Paddlers of any level of skill and in any type of paddle craft are welcome to join in the competition. Northern Marathon Series Committee: Booklet, Website, Publicity Colin Cussel nms@canoe.org.au Club Liaison Chris Mason chrismason64@hotmail.com Point Score Glen Pyne gpyne57@me.com Treasurer Elspeth Berger eberger@live.com.au Funding The Northern Marathon Series is self-funding using monies raised by the clubs that host races each year. For the 2016 Series, the host club for each race will contribute a maximum of $75 from the race entry fees to support the NMS. The remainder of the entry fees is retained by the host club to meet their State and Club financial obligations. The series funds are mainly used to cover cost of booklet, providing certificates and awards, and to replace boat numbers. Associated Events A goal of the Northern Marathon Series is to foster friendships amongst paddlers and their families and fellow travellers, so each host club is encouraged to organise some associated fun activities such as handicap sprint races on Saturday afternoon when the race is held on Sunday. Also, a preferred venue for dinner on the Saturday evening is either included in this booklet or will be advised prior to the event and we encourage paddlers and their families and friends to take these opportunities to socialise. Every town has something to offer for those who can spare some time in the area. Take an extra day or two if you can to visit the host towns and enjoy more than just the paddling. AGE & GENDER CATEGORIES Open Aged 18 to 34 years of age at 31 December 2016 Young Vets Aged 35 to 49 years of age at 31 December 2016 Mature Vets Aged 50 to 64 years of age at 31 December 2016 Vintage Vets Aged 65 or more at 31 December 2016 Under 18s Aged 16 or 17 years of age at 1 January 2016 Under 16s Aged 14 or 15 years of age at 1 January 2016 Under 14s Aged 12 or 13 years of age at 1 January 2016 Under 12s All paddlers who are aged 11 years or younger as of 1 January 2016 Gender: Male Female Mixed Age category for Doubles is determined by the age of the younger competitor for Seniors (i.e. Open and Vets) and the age of the older competitor for Juniors. Under 14s compete over a short course, approximately half the distance of the full course. Under 16s may compete in the short or long course but will be awarded full points for either. Under 18s paddle the same distance as the Open and will receive half points if they choose to compete in the short course. While not all venues list a special short course for very young paddlers, novice or board paddlers, these can be arranged as required. au VAJDA 2016 Northern Marathon Series Booklet p 5

6 BOAT CLASSES Any canoe or kayak will be accepted on the day, and will be placed in one of the following classes: International Racing Classes: K1, K2, K4, C1, C2 Australian Touring Classes: TK1, TK2, TC1, TC2 Surf Skis: SSki1, SSki2 (Surf Skis are made to SLSA Specifications.) Recreational Kayaks (e.g. sea kayaks): Rec 1, Rec2 Unrestricted: Un1, Un2, (includes ocean racing skis) Slalom Outriggers, dragon boats and any other vessels that float are also welcome if they can complete the distance within the time boundaries set by the host club ENTRY FEES No entry fee per race will be recommended by the Northern Marathon Series committee this year. The four Queensland Clubs (Currumbin, Brisbane, Varsity and Sandgate) have to pay dues to both Northern Marathon Series and Queensland Canoeing and may charge accordingly. Paddlers without Australian Canoeing affiliated membership may be required to pay an additional insurance fee per race according to the host clubs insurance policy. Membership of the Surf Life Saving Association of Australia does not provide insurance cover so the extra charge will apply if a paddler is not also a member of an affiliated canoe club RACE START TIMES & COURSES The first start will be at the time shown in this book but there may be multiple starts based on boat class, division or course length. The type of starts is determined by the host club and will be announced at the race briefing. Courses shown in the book may change on the day, depending on weather and other factors that may impact on the safety of paddlers. SERIES AWARDS Individual All paddlers are eligible for Series Participation Certificates. These ar e pr esented to paddler s who complete at least three races, regardless of class or point score, and venue, distance, class and time for each event completed. In addition, awards will be made to 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd eligible place getters in each class at the presentation night. In order to qualify for a Northern Marathon Series medal you must participate in 5 events on one class. Club Host clubs are welcome, and encouraged, to provide prizes at their own events. These may include Lucky Draw prizes at the conclusion of each presentation for which only paddlers still present will be eligible. There will be a Series Award for the club that accumulates the most points throughout the Series. The points for all members of a club count towards the Series Club Award, regardless of whether the individual paddlers qualify for Series awards. Clubs are asked to ensure paddlers who claim to be members of their club are in fact financial members at the time they race. Paddlers are asked to support their local clubs by maintaining their membership throughout the year. Across the Border Challenge Participation by paddlers from NSW and Queensland is roughly equal so there will be a tally kept of points accumulated by paddler's state of residence rather than the club to which they belong. This point score will be published after each race to add interest to the competition. There will be no trophy, just State boasting rights at the end of the season au VAJDA 2016 Northern Marathon Series Booklet p 6

7 PRESENTATIONS For each race Awards for each race, including the race finale, are determined by the host club and will be handed out as soon as possible after the last competitor finishes. Series Presentations Date: Saturday 17 September, 2016 Location: Currumbin Tavern, 3 Traders Way, Currumbin Waters. (behind the Currumbin Post Office). Time: Dinner from 6pm, presentations from 7.30pm Point Scores SERIES POINT SCORES & PRIZES Individual To be eligible for the Northern Marathon Series medals a paddler must complete at least five (5) races in the Series in the same class, with their final score being the sum of the best 7 out 8 results including bonus (travel) points. Participation in both long and short courses will be counted. At the end of the Series, 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd awards will be made in all classes and will be calculated on the following basis: For the long course: 10 points for winning, 7 points for 2 nd, 5 points for 3 rd, 4 points for 4 th, 3 points for 5 th, 2 points for 6 th, and 1 point for 7 th and below who finish. For the short course: half the points shown above. Points cannot be transferred into different classes but long and short course points will be counted in the same class. No points will be awarded if a competitor fails to finish the course for which they nominated except when a paddler starts in the long course but can only finish the short. They will be awarded short course points as long as they cross the finish line as required and notify the judges at the time of finishing. Paddlers in doubles will both receive full points as above. Both long and short course paddlers will be awarded full relevant bonus travel points. Club Perpetual Trophy A trophy will be awarded to the Club with the most points for the Series. For this award, the total point score is the sum of points awarded to financial members of clubs for all races in which they compete, plus their travel points. Travel Bonus Points The Northern Marathon Series is first and foremost about participation. To encourage paddlers to travel to all venues, including those furthest from them, bonus travel points are awarded. Bonus points are based on the relationship of a club to the host club (see table following). Competitors who do not belong to one of the host clubs will receive the same points as those from the host club to which they are geographically closest. For instance, paddlers from clubs in the Brisbane area receive the same points as Sandgate Canoe Club members, while Sydney paddlers align with Bonville Creek Kayak Club. au VAJDA 2016 Northern Marathon Series Booklet p 7

8 TRAVEL BONUS POINTS The Northern Marathon Series is first and foremost about participation. To encourage paddlers to travel to all venues, points are awarded to all persons not a member of the Race hosting club. Bonus points are based on the Kilometres travelled from your Club base to the host club race (see table following). Competitors who do not belong to the Race hosting club will still receive points as to encourage nearby clubs to participate in this series. For instance, club members from in the Brisbane area (travel usually 50km or less) will receive 0.5 points for participating in the Sandgate Race, the same will go for the Gold Coast clubs as well. Just Paddlers is a unique club in that its members are drawn from all over NSW and from Queensland. Travel points for Just Paddlers members are, therefore, assigned according to their home state. Those who live in Queensland will receive points in line with Currumbin Creek Canoe Club, while those living in NSW will receive points in line with Bonville Creek Kayak Club. The same principle applies to persons who may belong to a distant club but their residential address is within the area of a host Club. Points score in 50km increments hosting Club 0 pt 50km & less 0.5 pts 300km & less 3 pts 100km & less 1 pt 350km & less 3.5 pts 150km & less 1.5pts 400km & less 4 pts 200km & less 2 pts 450km & less 4.5 pts 250km & less 2.5 pts above 450km 5 pts au VAJDA 2016 Northern Marathon Series Booklet p 8

9 BOAT AND RACE SAFETY Preparing for the race We can find a place for any type of paddle craft but this is on the understanding they are well-constructed and have sufficient fixed buoyancy to float level when full of water. Paddlers aged 14 and under must wear a Type 2 or 3 Personal Flotation Device (PFD). This is an essential requirement for insurance purposes. Other paddlers who are not strong swimmers should consider wearing a PFD as well. All paddlers MUST wear PFDs if they are directed to do so by a race official. We recommend paddlers wear some kind of footwear, sun-safe clothing, sunscreen and a hat. During the race Paddlers should observe the rules of navigation, keeping to the right (starboard) side of a channel when proceeding past approaching craft. Take particular care when cutting a corner, keeping a close watch for oncoming craft. Assistance must be given to any paddler in distress. The safety of human life far outweighs the importance of winning. Your race time will be adjusted if you lose time assisting another. Carry and consume sufficient water to prevent dehydration. au VAJDA 2016 Northern Marathon Series Booklet p 9
