After consultation with our racing experts, I am advised that is technically acceptable for yachts to enter the race on the day. If the entry form could be completed and handed in before the race that would be helpful. It will make entering handicap on the computer easier.
Please be sure to advise the Committee boat of your intention to race so that we can count you all out and hopefully count you all back. Please let the Committee boat know whether you intend to use a cruising chute or not before racing. This is the only thing that affects handicapping. Any other details can be collected at the end.
Volunteers are still sought to form a Race Committee. The Race Committee decides whether the race should go ahead and adjudicates any protests - as per RYA standard racing procedure.
