1 Chipstead Sailing Club CHIPSTEAD SAILING CLUB Sailing & Social Events Programme April 2018

2 Sailing safely on Chipstead Lake The safety of members both ashore and afloat is of primary importance. The guidance notes supplement and repeat some the Club s Safety Regulations in the Club s Bye Laws issued to members. Please ensure you are familiar with them. The following are mostly about sailing safety but if you come across anything land side that you consider is a hazard or unsafe practice please report it to a committee member, or the OOD for recording in the logbook. Safety ashore Before going afloat please make sure that: Your boat is buoyant You are confident that you can handle the conditions both now and likely to arise without relying on patrol boats or others. If not don t sail! Your lifejackets are sound and fitted correctly (i.e. tightly so that they don t ride up over your face if immersed) and that you have suitable protective clothing. Club regulations mandate the use of wet/dry suits between 25 December and 31 March. The lake can be cold at other times, especially spring and early summer, and the body loses heat up to 35 times more quickly in water than air. So it may be sunny, but water wise. Manoeuvring boats on shore and launching and recovering boats has the risk of slipping on slipways, jetties or the shore. And take care when moving boats on trolleys not to hit bystanders. Safety on the water If conditions deteriorate consider retiring if racing or coming ashore. Even if patrol boats are operating remember that you have an obligation to assist others in trouble especially if patrol boats are not around or are busy with others. If you are racing this still applies. Seek redress if you consider that your result has been jeopardised. If you do capsize do everything you can to prevent your boat inverting and potentially trapping someone underneath. It is better that one crew member stays on the centre board to prevent immersion whilst a patrol crew arrives to recover the other person rather than swimming around to help and allowing the boat to invert. The first priority of patrol boat crews is assisting people boats won t go far on the lake and can be recovered later. If patrol crews tell you to leave your boat and be recovered to the shore please obey them. They may have other sailors to assist. 2 AVAILABILITY OF PATROL BOAT (Out of hours) There is a spare outboard engine in a yellow safe in the large hut on the left past the Training Shed. The shed and safe can be opened with the Club key. The Commando next to the Training Shed can also be unlocked with the same key. The engine is to be used on this Commando. A petrol tank is with the engine. After any use please inform your Fleet Captain, having replaced everything and report any shortages. Patrol Boat crews Members are reminded that AM duties must overlap PM duties with a change-over at on Sundays to ensure that a patrol boat is manned at all times during the hand-over period. Can you operate a patrol craft competently? One day you may depend on one of your fellow sailors - and they on you. Before going afloat in a patrol boat make sure you have all the equipment you need. And remember your first priority is to people. If sailors are cold or seem to be suffering some kind of injury or seem unwell, get them ashore quickly and radio ahead for First Aid to be available on landing. If you haven t got a power boat or safety boat certificate please consider taking one of the Club s courses either the RYA certificated ones (fees payable) or the free Chipstead course which will cover both power boat handling (including the RIBs which can only be used by qualified members of the RIB Squad) and safety and recovery aspects. Have you got First Aid capability? The Club runs First Aid courses useful, indeed essential, for your home life as well as sailing. If you don t have a certificate please consider taking a course. Many members have First Aid certificates and First Aid equipment is located in the clubhouse. If there is an accident, however minor, please record it in the accident book in the Committee Room (which will also indicate that the contents of the first aid box may need to be checked).

14 CLUB RACING CHECKLIST Race Courses should normally follow the Club s Standard Course recommendations. Variations should be agreed with a Class Captain or Sailing Secretary before posting. Starting times may be postponed: if so the postponement flag will be flown until 1 minute before the new warning signal. Races not started within 45 minutes of the scheduled time may be cancelled by agreement between the OOD, the relevant Class Captains(s) or the Sailing Secretary. Helm and Crew must remain in their designated positions for the full period of the race, the exception being to adjust rigging or equipment or in an emergency. Both persons to resume their correct positions as quickly as possible. Helms are required to sign on using the Race Management computer. There is normally no need to sign off except for Pursuit races, but helms who retire are required to sign the Retirement sheet to avoid disqualification. CLUB RACING NOTES - All races (excl. Note 2) scored using standard ISAF low points scoring system 1. Firefly Points - if there is a quorum the results will be taken from times recorded for the Herbert Chase. If they have no quorum they will be counted in the Herbert Chase. Three of the Russell Cup races will be run within the Herbert Chase and count in the Firefly Points series. 2. Heron Points - if a helm has no crew he/she will be allowed to sail and the times taken and results calculated on handicap. Effort should be made to find a crew, however. 3. Sunday Handicap AM has Grand Prix finish. 4. Classes to run their own events, however duty teams are expected to run the late afternoon races and provide patrol boat cover unless otherwise agreed with the relevant class captain. For lunchtime races aim to complete the race by 1.40pm to clear the race hut in time for afternoon racing. 5. Heron, Mirror, Topper, Pacer and other boats with PY more than 1190 will normally race 1 lap less than other classes if there are 4 or more laps but this may be varied by the OOD depending upon conditions. Optimists will normally complete one less lap than Herons, Mirrors, Toppers and Pacers again subject to the OOD s discretion 6. Subject to sufficient competitors Junior/Youth prizes will be awarded for the main Club Handicap events (but NOT pursuit races). Juniors/Youths will compete in the main event and their results will be extracted. 7. Classes with no quorum in the same session are permitted to sail. 8. Optimist Points series will normally be run over the same course as the Novices Cup and Commodore s Cup. 9. Classes have the option of awarding a third place to any helm who competes at an Open Meeting in that class, at a club outside of Chipstead SC. Similarly, if a class points race is not quorate and the helms wishing to enter that non-quorate race enter the handicap race taking place in that same half day race programme instead, their class has the option of awarding a third place to that helm. The number of third places that can be awarded to any helm is limited to a maximum of three occasions a season. If a class points race is not quorate, helms who compete at an Open Meeting in that class, at a club outside of Chipstead SC will not be entitled to claim a third place but for that same race, those helms who enter a handicap race at Chipstead SC as an alternative to the nonquorate race will be eligible to claim a third place. These awarded third places are counted towards the required number of races to qualify for a series. 10.Enterprise Points - The Enterprises are part of the Fast Handicap Fleet and if there is a quorum of Enterprises their results will be taken from the times recorded for the Sunday AM Handicap. If they have no quorum they will be counted in the Handicap. 14

To ensure that the sport of sailboat racing welcomes all people and treats them equally. To ensure that those who experience sailboat racing are encouraged to continue. Principles and practices The sport welcomes all participants; it relies largely on self-compliance and self-policing. Those that deliberately take unfair advantage of this or behave in an inappropriate manner, either on or off the water, can expect action to be taken against them. Competitors agree to compete in compliance with the rules and behave in accordance with accepted standards of sailboat racing. When involved in a genuine dispute, all parties to the dispute and those deciding the matter will use the established procedures for achieving resolution. Foul or abusive language, intimidation, aggressive behaviour or lack of respect for others and their property will not be tolerated. Organizers, officials and other providers of sailboat racing agree to provide the fairest racing possible. This includes encouraging feed-back and facilitating the resolution of genuine disputes (including protests) in a timely and proper manner. Support persons agree to encourage their competitors to behave in compliance with the above principles and practices. This Charter applies equally to those who organize, manage, coach, advise, judge, provide services and compete (including those who support competitors) in sailboat racing. The RYA encourages the adoption and implementation of this Charter, and provides guidance and support to individuals and organizations to assist implementation. This guidance and support is consistent with the practices of World Sailing. For further information, visit

Boats in non-handicap races completing fewer laps will be scored behind those completing more laps. Boats in handicap races will have their times adjusted based on their average lap time. 4.3 If the race is shortened the race will be finished by: (a) All boats:- at the next crossing of the prescribed finishing line, after the leading boat has crossed the line,when continuing to sail the prescribed course (with subsequent finishers completing that lap.), and in the same direction as the start.

(c) As above but between the committee boat and a mark of the course. The flags, prescribed above, and the accompanying sound signals, will be shown on the committee boat. (This will not be appropriate for handicap races.) Time limits 4.4 At the discretion of the Race Officer, if no boat has completed the course within 2 hours of the starting signal of the relevant class, the race will either be deemed void or results will be calculated on the positions at the end of the previously completed lap. 4.5 Boats which have not finished within 30 minutes of the first boat of the relevant Class crossing the finishing line may not be finished and will receive retirement points. The Race Officer can exercise discretion in applying this rule. 5. PROTESTS In addition to conforming to the requirements of RRS 61, those wishing to protest must notify the Race Officer of their intention at the earliest opportunity or immediately on coming off the water and confirm the protest to the protestee. A verbal notification is sufficient. The formal protest form shall be lodged within 30 minutes of the last boat of the relevant race to finish.

No witnesses will be permitted. However, if the arbitrator decides that rule 44.1(b) may apply or that arbitration is not appropriate, the meeting will not be held, and if a meeting is in progress, it will be closed. 8.2 Arbitrator s opinion Based on the evidence given by the representatives, the arbitrator will offer an opinion as to what the protest committee is likely to decide: (a) the protest is invalid, (b) no boat will be penalized for breaking a rule, or (c) one or more boats will be penalized for breaking a rule, identifying the boats and the penalties. 8.3 Arbitration meeting outcomes After the arbitrator offers an opinion, (a) a boat may take a Post-Race Penalty, and (b) a boat may ask to withdraw her protest.
