We need to explain how to choose between spin and non-spin.
Here's the idea - You can use two sail configurations for racing on Wednesday night. Most people will choose a complete set of sails using the spinnaker as the default. That makes sense. Then you might want an alternate set of sails with no spinnaker. That's good for short-crew nights.
How will you tell us what you are using? We assume you are using the default set of sails and corresponding ratings. If you want to use the alternate set, hail us on the water or VHF 78. Easy, right?
Read the amendment here:
Here is what you will ask us...
What if I don't have a spinnaker?
Tell us, and we will make that your default rating.
What if I want to use an unusual sail?
You can use any sail declared in your certificate and part of your rating.
Can my alternate ratings include an unusual sail?
Yes.
Can I have three (or 4 or 5) different ratings?
No, just the default and the alternate - two total.
When do we have to declare that we are using our alternate set?
Before the starting sequences. If there is a class flag up, it's too late.
Will the RC be handing out candy bars?
No, you will have to bring your own.
How many days until we can race?
Seven!
