2018 Sailing Instructions

They're Out!

You can download the Sailing Instructions >HERE<

What's new? Not too much. Star boats have almost exactly the same rules. For PHRF, there is a slight change to the non-spin rule and a clarification about how to protest.

You can see what has changed in the SI by looking for the vertical bar on the right. Any area with a change is marked by a vertical bar.

What are some good things to take away from the SI?

• Get there on time - we can't wait for you. There is only so much daylight available.
• Listen to VHF 78 - we make announcements.
• Call the hotline at 410-745-4983 - We will leave messages every week. If you think there is an issue with the weather, just call the hotline to find out what the RC thinks about racing.
• We're not racing on July 4th - that's right, we're not racing on July 4th
• Stay clear until 5 minutes to your start - From 5 minutes until your start, the starting line is yours. Before or after that, it's not; get away.
• Once you declare non-spin, you're non-spin - no take backs!
• If you're using equipment (sails, boat) that is not yours, let us know - it's not as obvious as you think it is. Come on by and tell us; we don't bite! (well, Tim does, but he has his rabies shots so you'll be okay).

Only two weeks to go for the first race!
