12 8.2 Line In Use A Line In Use will be identified by a conspicuous Orange Flag. A boat shall not pass in either direction through a start or finish line in use, other than her own. Alleged infringements of this sailing instruction may be protested under rule 60.1, 60.2 or 60.3 as a result of a report from any race committee. The onus of satisfying the protest committee that she did not pass through the line in use shall be with the protested boat. Rules 44.1 and 44.2 apply as though this instruction was part of Part 2 of the Racing Rules of Sailing. 8.3 Start Box Procedure Will be indicated by Numeral pennant 5 (yellow and blue vertical) and will be displayed ashore at least 15 minutes prior to the first Warning signal. 8.4 Boat Start Procedure Will be indicated by Numeral pennant 6 (black over white) and will be displayed ashore at least 15 minutes prior to the first Warning signal. 8.5 Handicap Start Procedure Will be indicated by the Numeral pennant 7 (yellow over red halved) and will be displayed ashore at least 15 minutes prior to the first Warning signal. 9 Racing Area Races will be conducted on the areas of the Swan River known as Melville Water East and Melville Water West. 10 Courses 10.1 Courses will be displayed in the Junior Clubhouse for all Sections 10.2 Each Section will have four standard courses numbered 1, 2, 3 & 4. o Course No. 1 is for moderate to strong south-westerly winds. o Course No. 2 is for weak to moderate south-westerly winds. o Course No. 3 is for westerly winds. o Course No. 4 is for easterly winds Courses 1, 2 & 3 shall finish via Dalkeith Day Buoy and Course 4 shall finish via Waratah Day Buoy The course to be sailed will be indicated by a painted representation of a numeral pennant placed in the frame on the yardarm adjacent to the NYC start box at least 15 minutes prior to the first warning signal. A numeral pennant will also be hoisted on the start boat prior to the first warning signal. The pennant hoisted on the start boat will override the pennant hoisted on the start box should they be different Shortening the Course A Course can be shortened after the start signal. This will be signified by flying an S flag at or near a mark of the course. The flag may be flown by the NYC support boat anchored in the vicinity or it may be on a buoy anchored adjacent to the mark. In the latter case, it will have an NYC burgee below it to indicate that it applies to NYC boats only. The support boat crew may hail the boats affected to draw their attention to the shortened course. This clarifies the use of the S flag in Race Signals When a course is shortened by provision , the affected boats shall pass by the course mark at which the flag S is flying on the correct side and proceed to Dalkeith Day Buoy if sailing course 1, 2 or 3 and then finish, or proceed to Waratah Day Buoy if sailing course 4 and then finish.

This will be signified by flying an S flag with the warning signal. If the S flag is flown at the head of the start signal flag staff, then all fleets will race their shortened courses. If the S flag is flown under a section flag, then only that fleet s course will be shortened. This clarifies the use of the S flag in Race Signals When a course is shortened by provision the fleet will race to the rounding mark identified with an asterix (*) in the course sheet. Boats will then proceed to 9

13 the finish line rounding Dalkeith Day Buoy if sailing course 1, 2 or 3, or rounding Waratah Day Buoy if sailing course 4.

All such navigation posts shall not rank as marks but shall rank as OBSTRUCTIONS for the purpose of the RRS. Rule 19 shall apply at all such obstructions The Perth Flying Squadron start line, whether or not in use, is not to be sailed through at any time and is regarded as an obstruction and rules 18 and 19 apply. Also rules 44.1 and 44.2 apply as though this instruction was part of Part 2 of the Racing Rules of Sailing No boat shall sail through a line joining either Brick landing buoys A and B or Smith and Lucky Bay buoys at any time and these pairs of buoys are regarded as obstructions and rules 18 and 19 apply. Also rules 44.1 and 44.2 apply as though this instruction was part of Part 2 of the Racing Rules of Sailing The Personal Water Craft (jet ski) designated areas at Point Walter and The Narrows Bridge are obstructions at all times and rules 18 and 19 apply. 11 Abandoned Race Should a heat be postponed or abandoned it may be re sailed immediately or on a day decided by the Race Committee. 12 Marks 12.1 Club Start/Finish Line Buoys.

14 13 Start Lines While a boat start is the preferred start type the OOD may elect to use a club start box start. A decision on the start type shall be identified by the appropriate flag and shall not be grounds for redress (see 8.3 and 8.4) Club Start Box Line The starting line will be between the red triangle on the front of the Club Start Box and the outer club start/finish line buoy (striped) The extremities of the Start Line are the Outer Buoy (striped) and the Inner Buoy (green). The Inner Buoy may be only approximately on the start line When an extended Start Line is requested by a section, it will be identified by the placing of a white coloured buoy (Extension Buoy) flying a NYC burgee and an Orange Start Flag at the outer end of the line The Start Line will then be between the red triangle on the front of the Club Start Box and the Extension Buoy Boat Start Line The starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag or shape on the Race Committee Boat at the starboard end and the port-end starting mark The extremities of the Start Line are the port-end starting mark and the Race Committee Boat. A Barging Buoy may be laid near the Race Committee Boat and it is an extension of the Race Committee Boat, therefore, the barging buoy, the Race Committee Boat and the space between them, all form the starboard end starting mark. 14 The Start 14.1 In order that the Race Officials have an uninterrupted view of the start line, no boat, other than Juniors, shall pass between the start box and the inner club start/finish buoy when the line is in use. Penalty for failure to comply will be disqualification without a hearing (changes rule 63.1) Boats whose starting signal has not been made shall keep clear of the starting area and of all boats whose starting signal has been made A boat shall not start later than 15 minutes after her starting signal No warning signal will be made after 15:00 hours 14.5 Championship and Consistency Races Races will be started using rule 26, with sections starting at 5 minute intervals in the order as stated in instruction 7 Schedule of Races, i.e. Signal Flag and Sound Minutes before starting Signal Warning Section flag; 1 sound 5 Preparatory P, I, Z, Z with I, or black flag; 1 sound 4 One-minute Preparatory flag removed; 1 long sound 1 Starting Section flag removed; 1 sound 0 The orange Line in use flag will be hoisted 5 minutes prior to the warning signal for the first fleet, accompanied by one sound and may be lowered no sooner than 15 minutes after the last section starts General Recalls Recalled Sections go to the rear of the fleet in sequence and the preceding fleet s starting signal will be their Warning signal. This changes rule Rule 29.2 of the RRS (General Recall) will apply if the restart is for the last Section in the sequence Handicap Races All boats shall start as one fleet on the same set of numbers. The start signal for each boat shall be the lowering of its handicap number Handicap numbers will be black on white The orange line in use flag will be hoisted 5 minutes prior to the Warning signal, accompanied by one sound, and will be lowered no sooner than 15 minutes after the last number has been lowered. 11

15 Five minutes before the start time of the limit boat the Warning signal will be given by hoisting all Section Flags, accompanied by one sound Four minutes before the limit boat s start the Preparatory Flag will be broken out Three minutes before the limit boat s number, the number which is two greater than the limit boat s handicap number will be displayed in front of the Start Box Numbers will be lowered, one each minute, until the start of the scratch boat. All signals will then be lowered A boat shall be penalised three minutes for every minute or part thereof by which it prematurely starts. 15 The Finish 15.1 The finish line will be between the red triangle on the front of the Start Box and the outer club start/finish buoy (striped) The extremities of the Finish Line will be the Outer Buoy (striped) and the Inner Buoy (green). The Inner Buoy may be only approximately on the finish line Having finished, no boat shall sail through the Club Finish Line. A boat breaking this rule will have two minutes added to her finishing time In order that the Race Officials have an uninterrupted view of the finish line, no boat, other than Juniors, shall pass between the start box and the inner club start/finish buoy when the line is in use. Penalty for failure to comply will be disqualification without a hearing (changes rule 63.1) If the Line in use flag has been lowered after the start then it will be re-hoisted prior to the first boat finishing and stay hoisted until all boats competing have finished or retired. 16 Penalty System 16.1 For multi hull fleets rules 44.1 and 44.2 (taking a penalty) are changed so that only one turn, including one tack and one jibe is required Instruction 16.1 does not apply to Multi hull boats competing in Cruiser events. 17 Time Limit 17.1 For Consistency or Championship races, the time limit for all Sections is 3 hours from their start signal. Boats failing to finish within 30 minutes after the first boat finishes or within the time limit, whichever is later, will be scored Did Not Finish (this changes rules 35 and A4) For Handicap start races, the time limit is 3 hours after the drop of the handicap number for the scratch boat of all fleets. Boats failing to finish within the time limit will be scored Did Not Finish (this changes rules 35 and A4) 18 Protests, Requests for Redress and Mediation Protests and Requests for Redress shall be written on the appropriate forms which are available from the OOD s office and delivered to the OOD during the protest time Protest time ends 30 minutes after the last boat of all the fleets has finished Hearings, if they are to proceed following mediation (see below), will be held at the earliest possible opportunity at the discretion of the OOD Parents of interested parties from the junior fleet may accompany their children to the hearing, or mediation, as observers only Mediation A mediation hearing will be conducted for all protests lodged in accordance with rule 61 which allege an infringement of a rule of Part 2, Part 4 or rule 31. Such hearings will be held subsequent to the protest being lodged and prior to the protest hearing The time and place of the mediation hearing will be decided by the mediator and such advice may be given verbally. One representative of each boat will attend the mediation hearing and no witnesses will be allowed. The mediator will decide the manner in which testimony is given. 12

16 After taking testimony, the mediator will make one of the following conclusions: (a) (b) (c) (d) The protest does not comply with rule 61 and the protestor should withdraw the protest. The matter shall proceed to a protest hearing. This may be because rules not suited to mediation may be involved or because evidence is too complex or divergent or because injury, serious damage or a significant advantage may have occurred or because of the apparent severity of the alleged infringement or for any other reason decided by the mediator. No rule was broken and the protestor should withdraw the protest. A rule was broken by one or more of the boats involved, the infringing boat(s) may accept a scoring penalty equal to a finishing place mid-way between the boat s actual finishing place and the score for a disqualification and if so accepted, the protestor should withdraw the protest. Half points shall be disregarded and the points of other boats shall not be adjusted (This changes rule 44.1) A mediation hearing shall not be re-opened. No conclusion of a mediator shall be subject to appeal or be grounds for redress. 19 Scoring 19.1 Club Championship For all classes the Low Point system of RRS Appendix A will apply modified so that each boat s series score will be the total of her race scores, with her worst score discarded if six races have been completed. Six races are scheduled, of which five races shall be completed to constitute a series Rule A9 applies. The number of boats entered in the series shall be determined following the final heat of the series Open Section, Junior, JAM and Cruiser finish placings will be calculated using the Regatta Committee approved Yardsticks There shall be a minimum of three boats which start to constitute a heat; otherwise that heat shall be cancelled With the approval of the Race Committee, championship points may be retained by the skipper if they change boats within the same fleet in the middle of the season. Points awarded to the original boat will be awarded to the new boat. In the case of a Cruiser which has a co-skipper (refer 2.7), points gained by one skipper shall be also awarded to the other skipper Points transfer under maybe requested multiple times in one season. It is at the discretion of the Race Committee to approve the request. The intent of this provision is to allow for a skipper to upgrade a boat mid season. The Race Committee will prevent these provisions from being used to cherry pick the best boats for a championship series Points are not transferable between Sections or fleets within a Section Average points shall be awarded as redress resulting from a redress hearing or where a skipper is engaged on Club duties, with the approval of the OOD, which prevent that skipper from racing Club Consistency A minimum of seven heats for each Section shall be completed to constitute a series for each Section There shall be a minimum of three boats in a section which start to constitute a heat for that section, otherwise that section s heat shall be cancelled, and no points shall be awarded in respect of such cancelled race At the commencement of the season each Section will establish a figure to be called the MAXIMUM SCORE which shall be the number of boats on the SECTION S Club Register plus ten or such other numbers as may be approved by the Regatta Committee. 13

17 Handicap placings shall be awarded on the basis of the handicap allocated to the skipper for that race. However, points shall be awarded to the boat sailed by that skipper Points are awarded for placing on handicap. First shall be awarded the Maximum Score, second one less, third two less, and so on For the distinction of provisions within section 19.2, a boat is deemed to have come to the starting area if there is a valid entry in the sign-on sheet A boat which comes to the starting area but does not finish shall be awarded points for the finishing place ONE more than the number of boats that come to the starting area and shall be awarded at least one point. A boat which finishes shall be awarded at least two points A boat which finishes and thereafter retires shall be awarded points for the finishing place TWO more than the number of boats that come to the starting area A boat which finishes and thereafter is disqualified shall be awarded points for the finishing place FOUR more than the number of boats that come to the starting area A boat that comes to the starting area in a race that is subsequently abandoned shall be awarded points for the finishing place which equals the number of boats that come to the starting area A boat that Does Not Compete (Does not come to the start area) is awarded zero points A boat competing in another event with prior approval from the Chairperson of the Regatta Committee or whose skipper is engaged on Club duties, with the approval of the OOD, which prevent that skipper from racing shall be awarded points equal to that boat s average points for the series Further to provision , average points can be granted by the OOD a maximum of twice in a season. Requests to be awarded average points more than twice must be submitted to the Race Committee in writing with documentation of mitigating circumstances Average points are defined as points equal to the average, to the nearest tenth of a point (0.05 to be rounded upward), of her points in all races in the series except the race in question and any other races that are to be awarded average points. Races that are excluded from the series for the entire fleet will not be calculated in the average With the approval of the Race Committee, consistency points may be retained by the skipper if they change boats within the same fleet in the middle of the season.
