The 2018 Sailing Instructions are attached covering club racing from 30 March 2018 to 7 October 2018.

For Spring, Summer and Autumn series races, the same 3 starts ( at 3 minutes intervals) , 3 courses ( 2 windward/leeward and 1 square) and 5 fleets ( Windward/Leeward, Slow Catamaran, Fast Mono-hull, Slow Mono-hull and Sandhopper) as in 2017 are retained.  There is no separate Cadet fleet /series/course in 2018.

One change for 2018 is that results for all general handicap trophy races ( except the pursuit race) will also count towards  the series ( Spring, Summer, or Autumn)  in which the race occurs.

Reminder: Helms who have entered any series race ( including the Midweek Series), and which now include trophy races, can claim average points for a particular race if they are undertaking any of the club race duties ( except Duty Officer) on that day. Average Points can be claimed by indication on the Declaration Sheet on the day.

TBYC SI’s 2018 – March 2018
