January Canadian Yachting Association2c-3 Agenda for Session 3 Review Timing for setting marks Starts continued Postponement Individual Recall General Recall special starts Course management Finishing & paperwork

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-4 Review of session 2 Our guiding principles safety fair sailing keep the customers satisfied

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-5 Review – Course length Things to know distance sailed to weather? reaching leg distance? time to sail a leg? Course time factors windward/leeward 45 degree triangle How to figure the distance

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-6 Review (2) Starting line length adjustments Weather mark where course diamond

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-7 Special flags Flag L ashore “a notice has been posted” on the water “come within hail, or follow me” Flag Y wear life jackets or other adequate personal buoyancy

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-8 Timing * When to set marks? depends on resources starting pin first, usually When does the weather mark have to be in? before the warning? before the prep? before the start?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-9 Weather leg diamond *

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-10 Weather leg diamond By the time any boat gets near a lay line, it’s too late Be very careful

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-11 Announcing the course Let competitors know what’s coming Announce on VHF or display a placard course length (where is Mark 1?) direction time of planned warning signal I flag at the start, if applicable Others want to know as well coaches, parents, protest committee

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-12 Starting sequence * 11:01Laser preparatory 11:04Prep removed 11:05Laser start 11:11470 start 11:07470 preparatory 11:06470 warning 11:10Prep removed 11:00Laser warning

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-13 Postponement * Before the start see rule 27.3 “for any reason” needs ‘AP’, so keep it handy Reasons for postponement error in procedure (like timing) equipment problem safety issue bad start

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-14 Postponement (2) * 12:36Laser warning 12:37Laser preparatory 12:40Prep removed 12:40: 30 Problem on the line 12:43AP removed 12:40: 33 AP up 12:44Laser warning 12:35Attention signal

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-15 Postponement variations * AP over H further signals ashore Consider H and A carefully might lose valuable racing time no good way to recover from a mistake AP over A no more racing today

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-16 Abandonment before the start * Abandonment – N 3 sound signals N over H further signals ashore N over A no more racing today Don’t use if not already racing use AP instead before the start

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-17 Individual recall * Flag X – rule 29.1 “the race committee shall promptly display....” i.e. immediately! so the X flag must be ready Must identify the OCS boats Sound signals – 1 nice to have a different sound for X

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-18 Individual recall (2) Where is the starting line? assume a 30cm band sight from the front of marks boats in the band are okay

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-19 Individual recall (3) * two OCS boats

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-20 Individual recall (4) * 14:03Attention signal 14:05Laser preparatory 14:08Prep removed 14:09Laser start 14:10470 warning 14:09:03X flag displayed 14:04Laser warning

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-21 Individual recall (5) * When do we remove X?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-22 Individual recall (No return) * 14:09Laser start 14:10470 warning 14:11470 preparatory 14:13X flag removed 14:15470 start 14:14Prep removed 14:09: 03 X flag up (no return)

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-23 Individual recall (7) * When is X flag removed? 4 minutes or when the last boat returns Do we dip the flag for the first OCS boat? No – other boats will be watching

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-24 Individual recall (8) * Keep a watch for boats returning flag officer, sound officer, line judge Hailing OCS boats fair sailing is our guide VHF radio is fair, voice may not be pin boat calls how many boats, how many identified – not sail numbers try cell phones or private channel radios

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-25 General recall * Reasons for recall – rule 29.2 Unable to identify OCS boats; or Error in procedure usually a timing error How many boats OCS? doesn’t matter – depends whether they can be identified Be very sure that your line is okay before continuing

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-26 General recall * Try to minimize General Recalls ISAF believes there are too many good judgment is required fair sailing vs keep the boats racing Okay to use 1st Sub after X sound signal for each required one for X, then two for 1 st sub

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-27 General recall (3) Hard to spot the red boat

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-28 General recall (4) 11:44Laser preparatory 11:47Prep down 11:48Laser start 11:51First Sub down 11:48:15First Sub up 11:52Laser warning 11:43Laser warning 11:53Laser prep...

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-29 I flag starts ‘Round the ends’ rule – 30.1 Boats are OCS in the last minute easier to spot OCS boats When do we use it? for some fleets, fairly often usually after a general recall Can we notify boats at 1 minute? Yes – see rule 44

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-30 Starting with the I flag *

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-31 Starting with an I flag 12:45Attention signals 12:47Laser preparatory 12:50Prep down 12:51Laser start 12:57470 start 12:53470 preparatory 12:52470 warning 12:56Prep down 12:46Laser warning

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-32 Z flag starts Percentage penalty for OCS boats – rule 30.2 must display with ‘I’ if you want the one minute rule to be in effect Don’t recommend it continue with I flag consider postponement and fix the line

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-33 Black flag – 30.3 Purpose to remove poor starters from the fleet When do we use it? after one or more General Recalls but must be sure our line is correct Not recommended for club racing

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-34 Starting review Normal start for normal use, except for competitive fleets I flag start makes sighting the line easier Z flag start not recommended Black flag start do not use

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-35 Course Management Time for the weather leg time limit, target time Wind direction oscillation or permanent shift Moving mark mark set crew should be watching Capsized boats consider rescue, too much wind

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-36 Protests * When can RC disqualify a boat? see rule A5 start or finish infraction may be disqualified without a hearing Otherwise... (see rule 60.2) must file a written protest (rule 61.1(b)) within protest time must notify boat notice on the Official Notice Board must attend hearing

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-37 What should we protest? * Sailing the course– rule 28.1 consistent with our mandate for “fair sailing” Sailing instruction violations safety issues

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-38 What not to protest * boat vs boat incidents “touching a mark” possible rule 42 infractions Why not? usually very hard to see unless close remember that, for these incidents, the RC has no special status the competitors will not love you

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-39 Redress When can a boat ask for redress? “an improper action or omission of race committee, protest committee, or organizing authority” must be filed within protest time Scoring errors sometimes a cause use Scoring Inquiry form to avoid Race committee can request see rule 60.2(b)

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-40 Redress (2) * Watch out for marks not in the water on time moving / missing marks starting errors Should not include OCS onus must be on competitor to convince the protest committee that the RC made a mistake try to get the protest committee to post a notice

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-41 Mark set gear Flag C – M – S – N with poles Notebook Whistle Watch set to regatta time Small whiteboard & marker Red/green placards if using

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-42 Shorten Course * Flag S – 2 sound signals Why shorten? See rule 32.1 time limit or target time bad weather What notice do we give the competitors? none – just get the boat to the mark Where is finishing line? see rule 32.2

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-43 Shorten course

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-44 Shorten course Marks to port, so some will try to go around the mark Put the boat on the outside of the course

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-45 Shorten course – error * If the RC boat is in the wrong place, competitors will be tempted to round the mark the wrong way

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-46 Changing the course * Rule 33 “changing the next leg of the course” Flag C + multiple sound signals Before a boat begins the leg being changed so not sailing in the wrong direction Can change direction compass bearing or red/green placards Can change length plus/minus boards

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-47 Weather leg (2) Wind shifts to the left boats have less room to pass

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-48 Weather mark location A good test of weather mark location See if boats are on both jibes on the downwind leg

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-49 Abandonment * Used after the start See rule 32.1 – flag N with 3 sounds When? error in starting procedure *** foul weather insufficient wind for time limit missing mark any other reason affecting safety or fairness *** why not use General Recall?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-50 Abandonment (2) Reminder: Safety is our responsibility we have the ability to stop racing if conditions become unsafe so be in control

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-51 Abandonment (3) Fairness How far into the race? consider time limit marks rounded fleet expectations ISAF thinks we should abandon more often than we do so if you’re thinking about it, probably should abandon

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-52 Missing Mark Rule 34 – flag M – repetitive sounds The boat becomes the mark Be careful what happens to the old mark don’t try to replace it when boats are coming toward it tow it off to the side or below the course

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-53 Finishing line * Short as possible Blue flag suggested Sound at the finish whistle, voice, maybe not horn who gets a sound signal?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-54 Recording at the finish May have more than one team one line judge, two writers per team one could be on pin boat Get lots of times, even for one design want to know how spread out the fleet is Record in finish order – don’t separate classes scoring software will split classes

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-55 Recording at the finish Record all boats – even OCS might be reinstated by protest committee Record every time a boat finishes might have returned for a penalty turn Watch for protest flags not required to notify us unless in SIs don’t put in SIs unless youth event

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-56 Forms and paper Keep all paper until after the regatta Post committee boat docking time Get results posted! Arrange scoring inquiry forms Complete and post race report Remind protest committee to post its hearing schedule

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-57 Wrapping it up Review the day Look for equipment problems suggestions for tomorrow gas up the boats Don’t leave until scoring is completed and posted protest time has ended

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-58 End of Course Material Review questions are next

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-59 Review questions 1.The SI’s specify that boats shall check in at the signal boat before each start. A boat fails to do so. What do you record? How do you score them? 2.A starting area is specified in the SI's and is closed to classes not starting. A boat enters the area. What do you record? How do you score them?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-60 Review questions 3.The RC loses time on all watches during the starting sequence. Action? 4.At the Warning signal the ‘P’ flag is hoisted instead of the class flag. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-61 5.The mark set boat loses power before the pin can be set. Warning signal time is close. Action? 6.The weather mark is not in the water fifteen seconds before the start for race 3. Action? 7.A 90° wind shift comes three minutes before the start. Actions? Review questions

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-62 Review questions 8.A 10° wind shift comes three minutes before the start. Actions? 9.The horn fails to sound at the start. Actions? 10.The Starting Signal is made ten seconds early. All boats start properly at this signal. Action? A second class is scheduled to start five minutes after the first. How to time it?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-63 Review questions 11.Four boats are registered for non- spinnaker, twenty for spinnaker class. The latter have the first start but all non-spinnaker boats start with them despite the SI’s, for two starts. Actions? 12.In a major centerboard regatta there have been two general recalls and more seem likely. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-64 Review questions 13.At a start four boats are identified as OCS but more are probably guilty also. You have not hoisted "X" immediately, pondering a General Recall. Thirty boats are starting. Action? 14.An OCS boat does not return to make a proper start. Flag "X" was displayed with one sound signal right after the start. Actions?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-65 Review questions 15.A General Recall has been signaled, then the flag removed with one sound signal. In one minute what signal is made? 16.When the boats in one class are halfway up the first weather leg, the wind shifts 80° to the right. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-66 Review questions 17.In a catamaran race, the boats are sailing twice around a 60° triangle. The wind shifts 40° before they come to mark 3. Action? 18.A storm with lightning and thunder is observed nearby during racing. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-67 Review questions 19.Two races are scheduled Saturday and one Sunday. After one slow race on Saturday, the wind dies completely with no possibility of a start for race 2. Action? 20.A boat sails through a finishing line during the race. The SIs say “boats must not sail through the finishing line unless finishing.” Record how? Score how?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-68 Review questions 21.RC observes contact between two boats, neither of which protests or takes an alternative penalty. RC action? 22.In a dying wind, the RC wants to shorten course. All boats are on the third leg of a five leg course and probably cannot make the finish. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-69 Review questions 23.After the finish line has been set and boats have started to finish, there is a 40° wind shift. Action? 24.Before the start, the weather mark is punctured and deflated after being placed for the first race. An alternate mark is available, but is specified in the SIs for use with a Change of Course. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-70 Review questions 25.Weather in the open water is becoming dangerous, and you want to get the boats into a sheltered bay for the next race. Action? 26.RC observes regular pumping of the sails by a small boat. Actions?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-71 Review questions 27.RC observes a boat that apparently fouled another putting up a yellow flag for a 20% penalty. Flag is not seen when the boat finishes. Action? 28.There is no wind to sail on at 1300, but you expect some two hours later. How do you tell the boats to re-assemble for a start at 1500? Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-72 Review questions 29.In a centerboard race, half the fleet is becalmed while the other picks up breeze and approaches the finish. Action? 30.A Modified Olympic course is being sailed around a circle of buoys, all alike except for dim letters on cylinders. The lead boat rounds the wrong weather mark, unwittingly following a shift in the wind. All other boats follow and complete the whole course. What do you do as they approach the finish? What do you do next?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-73 Review questions 31. The coloured line flag on the RC boat is lost. The SIs call for a finish between that flag and a nearby mark. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-74 Review questions 32. It is the last race of the day for small one-design classes. Darkness is setting in, the wind has died completely, and five boats who haven’t finished are still on the last leg of the course. There are no running lights on the committee boat or on the competitors’ boats. The RC offers to award these five boats their position in which they rounded the last rounding mark before the finish, but all refuse to accept. Action?

January Canadian Yachting Association2c-75 Review questions 33.A sudden squall hits the RC signal boat just as the RO is trying to secure the horn. Both go overboard, taking the one watch for a PHRF race in progress. The squall causes the signal boat to drag anchor badly. The motor on the signal boat will not start. The lead boat is approaching the finish only 100 yards off. Action?
