New Cadet Racing

This Sunday is our next session in the ‘New Cadet Race’ Series.

It looks like good weather, both sunny with some wind. It is a late start, so I will make it a 45 minute race. You should be packed away by 8.33 pm!

I do hope to see you Sunday.

 

  • The new course is aimed at all Cadets who can sail and to wish participate in a race with a shorter course, more laps over a reduced time.
  • There will be prizes for the older cadet as well as the less experienced sailors. A coach in a dedicated Support Rib will support the races.

Races will be raced under the TBYC Sailing Instructions. http://www.tbyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/TBYC_2015_SI.pdf

  • There will be an optional briefing at 18.30 (1 hour before start.)
  • The race will be a windward leeward course starting at the committee boat. It will be the second start with the Fast and Slow Monohulls at 19.33. (Time plus 3 minutes).
  • First check the number of laps on the blackboard at the top of the slipway and / or check with Support Rib on the water. Your race does not use a shortened course.
  • Once on the water, go to the Committee boat and look for the last number on the BACK of the boat, which indicates D on the diagram / or check with Support Rib on the water.
  • On the starting signal, you will cross the line and beat to the CADET BUOY, which is a special buoy marked with a C. This will be your windward mark.
  • Check whether a Red or Green flag is displayed on the Committee boat; Red leave marks to port, Green leave marks to starboard.
  • Run or reach down to the course. You must NOT go through the line on the downwind leg (as in the sailing instructions).
  • Beat up through the line and onto the Cadet buoy and continue until the displayed number of laps are completed.
  • As you cross the line the committee boat will record your time. They will not give you a signal. The Support Rib will blow a whistle unless is needed elsewhere.
