5 April 2010 Hello Racers! Welcome to the 2010 Mass Bay Sailing Yearbook. In the past couple of years we have been making the yearbook more of a reference guide to both Offshore sailing as well as One Design. Included in the book are Notice of Races (NOR s), Sailing Instructions (SI s), course descriptions, and a wealth of other information. So take a look through, and see what is new. Also, if you are reading this, you likely aren t somebody that needs to be encouraged to race. But what about your friends? Do they race? Do they own a boat and don t race? Please encourage them to do so. You can help them along by explaining simple things like how to fill out a PHRF certificate, or the nuances of SI s. Anything we can do to get more sailors onto the race course the better. We all know that racing is its own reward. During the racing season log onto Mass Bay s website ( to check what has been happening on the racing scene, as well as seeing how your competitors are doing in the season championships. Congratulations to the following skippers who competed in the 2009 Mass Bay Sailing Championship events, and won their respective classes: Merriman Trophy Class A KATABATIC Gordon Hall President s Trophy Class B SUPERSTITION Steve Spangler Chris Zibailo NE Ocean Racing Circuit Trophy J 105 STEEL AWAY III Doug & Peter Morgan Duplin Trophy Class C WHARF RAT RJ Dimattia PHRF Trophy Class D BLIXTEN Bruce Baker Vice President s Bowl Class E MYSTERIOUS WAYS Steve Kavanaugh Doyle Trophy Class F GOLDENEYE Peter Engel Eclipse Trophy Class G ANDIAMO Lou Pina Competitor of the Year SUPERSTITION Steve Spangler Chris Zibailo Bradford Trophy Pursuit Class SUPERSTITION Steve Spangler Chris Zibailo COMPETE WITH YOUR FLEET!

When these courses are to be used: (a) The letter designation, approximate compass bearing and approximate distance from the Starting Mark to Mark 1, shall be displayed by the race committee signal boat either in a rack, on a white board, or by code flags. (b) To provide for simultaneous rounding of a nearby mark and starting by separate classes, the starting mark may be set slightly (approximately 100 yards) beyond the windward or leeward mark as applicable. If such a separate starting mark is set, the nearby windward or leeward mark is not a mark of the course for the first leg. (c) (d) To provide for simultaneous rounding of a nearby mark and finishing by separate classes, the finishing mark may be set slightly (approximately 100 yards) beyond the windward or leeward mark as applicable. If such a separate finishing mark is set, the nearby windward or leeward mark is not a mark of the course for the final leg. Offset Mark: An offset mark may be in place for the rounding of Mark 1. The offset mark shall be the same color as Mark 1. Boats shall pass Mark1 to port and then pass the offset mark to port.

Code Flag T indicates that the posted course is to be sailed twice. The starting mark is not included unless it is also a posted mark of the course. When a portable windward mark is used, the approximate compass bearing and distance from the starting mark shall be displayed by the race committee signal boat either in a rack, on a white board, or by code flags. If, from the rhumb line to a mark, the rhumb line course to the next mark lies to starboard, the mark shall be left to starboard; otherwise (including reciprocal headings) the mark shall be left to port. These rhumb lines shall be drawn to include any relevant restricted area marks that have a required side. The finishing line shall be at the last posted mark Marks will either be: (a) As described in the ESI (as when inflatable marks are used with MSBA Standard Courses). (b) As identified in the MBSA Standard Rounding Marks List A, B, C.

The Race Committee will display the approximate compass bearing to the new mark and the letter or number identifying the new mark. The mark at which the change of course is being signaled shall be rounded as if the course had NOT been changed. 17 The Finish 17.1 The finishing line will be between a staff from which a blue flag or shape is displayed on a race committee boat and the course side of a nearby mark Each boat is also responsible for taking her own time and, if possible, the names or sail numbers of the boats immediately ahead and astern. This information shall be provided to the race committee upon request If the race committee intends to start another race on the same day, it shall display the Second Substitute or flag R (with no sound) while boats are finishing. 18 Time Limit 18.1 Any Time Limit(s) shall be specified in the ESI, stated as a number of hours and minutes after the actual starting time of each class Any Finishing Window(s) shall be specified in the ESI stated as number of minutes after the first boat in each class finishes If a Finishing Window applies, boats failing to finish within the finishing window shall be scored DNF.

(b) No later than 30 minutes after the party requesting reopening was informed of the decision on that day.

(This changes RRS A2) 21.3 Series score ties are in accordance with RRS A8.1. When a tie still remains, it will be broken in favor of the yacht with the lowest total corrected time for all races. For a yacht scored BFD, DGM, DNC, DNF, DNS, OCS, RAF, SCP, TLE (Time Limit Expired), or DSQ her corrected time in that race shall be the corrected time of the yacht finishing last in that class plus one minute. (This changes RRS A8.2) 21.4 Race scores shall be based on PHRF Time on Distance corrected time, using MBSA Class Splits When MBSA Standard Courses are used, the posted distance, adjusted for starting marks beyond the windward or leeward mark, offset marks and finish lines beyond the windward or leeward mark, if any, will be official for scoring purposes When MSBA Standard Rounding Marks, List A, B, C are used, the distance as measured from the mark positions, adjusted for fixed obstructions such as islands and passing and boundary marks, if any, will be official for scoring purposes. If an obstruction may be passed on more than one side the shorter distance shall be used. 22 Safety Regulations 22.1 Each Event shall be ISAF Offshore Special Regulation Category All competing boats shall have a VHF transceiver Boats shall check in with the Race Committee Signal Boat before their first start each day.
