MEMORIAL DAY REGATTA

NOTICE OF RACE
You are cordially invited to participate in the 2015 Memorial Day Regatta, hosted by the Eugene
Yacht Club. The Regatta will be governed by the rules as defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing
2013-2016, except as any of these may be altered by the Sailing Instructions or by class rules that
do not conflict with the Rules or Sailing Instructions.
Format: Seven races are scheduled. One race constitute a regatta. Sailing Instructions and Course Sheets will be available on May 23th at the Regatta site.
Classes: The Regatta is open to all one-design and PHRF classes. Classes participating in recent
years have included Thistle, Lightning, Star, Day sailers, Snipe, Laser, Santana 20, Lido 14,
Holder 20, Ultimate 20, Pelican, Wavelength 24, multihulls and several PHRF Keelboat
categories (with valid current certificates from PHRF Northwest).
Scoring and Trophies: Five or more registered boats in a class will be scored as a Fleet. One
race may be thrown out for scoring purposes if six or more races have been completed. No races
will be thrown out if completed races are five or fewer. Provisions will be extended for handicap
racing in a Portsmouth Centerboard Fleet. Trophies will be awarded according to the number of
registered boats in each Fleet.
Registration: Eligible boats may enter by completing the included Registration Form and
submitting it, together with the required fee described on the Form. Entries will be accepted until
11:30 AM on May 23, 2015. Entries post marked on or before May 18, 2015 will be discounted
$30.00, along with a $5 US Sailing membership discount. Refund requests must be received on or before May 23rd, 2015. Find registration form online at www.eugeneyachtclub.net.
Insurance: Competitors participate in the Regatta entirely at their own risk. See Rule 4,
Decision to Race. The organizing authority will not accept any liability for material damage or
personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with or prior to, during, or after the Regatta.
Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance with a minimum
coverage of $100,000 per event or the equivalent.

PLEASE
PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THESE
EYC GROUND RULES
1. Under no circumstances are pets of ANY kind allowed on yacht club
grounds, even if they are left in a vehicle or other enclosure. If you would like to
bring your pet, camping is available at Lane County’s Richardson Park,
immediately northwest of the EYC grounds. As of 2010, Park rates are $20
per night, plus $6.50 for each additional vehicle. Some electrical/water
hookups and pay showers are available. A reservation fee applies. Call Lane
County Parks at 541-682-2000 for information and reservations. Reserve
online at http://ecomm.lanecounty.org/parks.
2. Please observe the ground signs and instructions for camping, swimming and
parking of boats, cars and recreational vehicles. If you arrive late (after 10:00
pm on Friday), please park and camp in the area just to the right inside of the
EYC gate. Please keep cars off the front lawns (they are soft and we have a
delicate underground irrigation system) by using the available trailer
dollies to move boats.
3. Alcoholic beverages may be consumed discreetly and in moderation on Club
grounds.
4. Be conscious of safety. Please watch your children when they are on EYC
grounds, even though they may be in the designated swimming area. Please
don’t run, jump, or fish on or from the docks. Small children must wear life
jackets at all times while on the docks or near the water. Child safety while
on EYC grounds is a parent’s responsibility.
5. For those who plan to bring an RV: Eugene Yacht Club, at the insistence of
the County Fire Marshall, can no long permit electrical cords, hoses and
water pipes to cross vehicle traffic areas. Very few Club RV parking spaces
are equipped with power hookups. Most RV campers using EYC grounds
will therefore need to be fully self-contained
