Racing Programme 2009

This year to encourage participation and hopefully more fun into our sailing We have reduced our schedule of races to help concentrate our Events and increase attendance. We have also just two race classes “IRC” and “CLUB”.

The IRC being any yacht presenting a valid IRC certificate to the race committee At the beginning of the season.

The Club class will work on a sliding handicap which will be adjusted at the discretion of the sailing committee and by the use of the Sailwave handicap programme. The handicaps will be produced automatically on the input of race times. The base handicap for each yacht will be published before the beginning of the season Via the website and on the club notice board.

This system is intended as a means to encourage all to participate in club racing and get the maximum enjoyment from sailing. The sliding handicap system will provide a level base from which all boats make it to the top of the fleet.

IRC class will start first and the starting for IRC class will be the warning signal For the CLUB class.

  1. Warning signal IRC - 5 minutes to IRC start.
  2. Preparatory signal - 4 minutes to IRC start
  3. One minute signal - 1 minutes to IRC start
  4. Start IRC / Warning signal CLUB - 5 minutes to CLUB start
  5. Preparatory signal - 4 minutes to CLUB start
  6. One minute signal - 1 minute to CLUB start
