The Fleet is divided into eight classes:
- Vintage A (VA) Vintage B (VB)
- Classic A (CA) Classic B (CB) Classic C (CC)
- Spirit of Tradition A (SOTA) Spirit of Tradition B (SOTB)
- Gaff & Schooner (G & S)
See the Scratch sheet for your class. There will be FIVE starts at 10 minute intervals. The race committee boat is the Jacob Pike.
The starting procedure is as follows and will be heard over channel 65. Watch for the Flags! They are the official indicators in case the horn does not sound.
White Flag = 10 Minute Warning Blue Flag = 5 Minute Warning Red Flag = Start
If you cross the line early, DO NOT turn around. You will be assessed a 5 minute penalty. Anyone over early will be announced on the radio.
In case of a delay, there will be 3 blasts of the horn just prior to the First start. Delay time will be 1/2 hour.
Please be careful! There will be over 100 boats in the starting area and the start will be a busy place.
Indicate your intentions and, if in doubt, give way. As usual, the race committee will not hear protests. Be Safe and Have Fun!
