Notice of race – Remainder of 2020 Season

The following serves as a Notice of Race for the remainder of the 2020 NSC/BYC Interclub Race program.

Organizing Authority

These race series are organized jointly by Nepean Sailing Club and Britannia Yacht Club.

Rules

The Racing Rules of Sailing and the Sail Canada Prescriptions apply.

Eligibility

Any keelboat on Lac Deschenes is eligible. A PHRF-LO handicap is required.

Registration

Boats must re-register for Tuesday & Thursday evening race program, which will begin on August 25, no later than August 16, even if they registered for racing prior to August 7. NSC members should register using the NSC online portal. BYC members should use the BYC registration form. Others (e.g. CVGR members) may use the BYC form, or may register through NSC by downloading a generic Race Registration form (pdf or MS Word format), signing it, and e-mailing the form to Race Registration. See the NSC Registration page for more info.

Headcount Limits

A limited number of sailors are allowed per night, totaled across all fleets that participate that night. If headcount limits are reached, boats may be permitted to sail only on Tuesday or on Thursday, to maximize the number of boats that can participate overall. If headcount is filled on both nights, no further registrations will be accepted. Registrations will be prioritized on a first-come-first-served basis, based on the time at which the registration is received at NSC or BYC.

Dates

Tuesday Fall series is August 25 to September 29, 2020.
Thursday Fall series is August 27 to October 1, 2020.

Classes

Tuesday – JAM fleets (white sails only) and PHRF fleets (spinnaker allowed).
Thursday – JAM fleets (white sails only).
Fleets are grouped by handicap. The handicap split will be performed at the discretion of the organizing authority when registration is finished.

Prizes

Prizes will be awarded for top NSC boats in each class.

Race Format

Round-the-buoys, racing rules of sailing, normal race start sequences (not a time trial or pursuit).

Sailing Instructions

Sailing Instructions will be issued on the NSC and BYC websites at least 48 hours before the first race.

Insurance and Liability

Boats are required to carry insurance while racing and agree to the liability waiver, as specified in the registration form.
