Announcements
Appendix V (In Explanation)
Appendix V (RRS 2021-2024) will again be in effect, here's what that changes:
V1. Penalties at Time of Incident
Rule 44.1 is changed to “a boat may take a One-Turn Penalty at the time of the incident when she may have broken one or more rules of Part 2."
However, if she breaks a Part 2 rule while in the Zone, around any mark, other than a starting mark, her penalty shall be a Two-Turns Penalty. Rule 31 (hitting a mark) remains a one turn penalty.
V2. Scoring Penalty
(New this quad) Provided 44.1(b) does not apply (no series injury or damage) a boat subject to a protest may accept a scoring penalty after the race, up until a hearing is started. The Penalty is a 30% scoring penalty for the race in question. It can be hefty, but it beats a DSQ. Requests for this resolution must be presented in writing to the RC.
Boat Storage
Registered sailors are welcome to store their boats in the club boatyard but please have you boats out of the yard on the last day of Frostbite, the club has no events scheduled after the series ends the boatyard will be locked.
