Start time change Posted on Apr 16, 2023 19:56 EST |
In order to minimize the impact of having commercial ferries transit during a fleet start, the Spinnaker Fleet start has been moved up to a warning at 1815 with a start at 1820. The Non-spinnaker Fleet warning will be as soon as practicable after the start of the Spinnaker Fleet. This deletes the 5 minute delay between fleet starts. The Sailing Instructions have been modified to reflect the start times.

Course category name change Posted on Apr 13, 2023 13:49 EST |
For ease of reading, the course sheets have been updated to change the course designations to Spinnaker A and Spinnaker B vice Spinnaker Deep and Spinnaker Shallow. The remainder of the course designation sheets remain the same.

Deep Draft Courses Posted on Apr 11, 2023 13:15 EST |
To help with some confusion, when a course is designated, such as course D, the Spin A division will sail the spinnaker deep courses and are all considered deep draft which allows them to use the virtual marks if desired. Spin B will sail the spin shallow courses which are different from the Spin A courses for the D course. If the RC puts an A next to the course designation then all boats can use the virtual marks if desired. Non-spin courses for both A and B are the same.
Just to be clear, under the Racing Rules a Gate is a line between two marks. The boat must cross the line and can choose which mark to round. For the Deep draft boats, and when the A course designation is used, the Gate is between government marks 5,7,9 and a virtual gate mark as described in the sailing instructions.
