Sailing Instructions for the 2014 CYC Summer Series are amended for all classes as follows: Changes to the OCSA Race Instructions are for this regatta only. 11.7) All fleets should expect to have multiple races when finishing, except for those fleets that have made a request to have one long single race in the evening. The Race Committee will fly the "AP" over "A" flag combination on a staff on the finish side of the boat to signify no more racing tonight. If the intention of the "AP" flag over "A" flag is for a single fleet, then the class flag for that fleet will be flying with the "AP" over "A" flag(s) to signify no more racing for that fleet. When "AP" over "A" is flying without class flags this signifies no more racing for all classes that are finished.
