Stony Point Race 2020

The regularly scheduled Stony Point race is Sunday, August 9, and will use a similar start/finish format to that used in the first two Pinhey’s Point races, but will be sailed under the RRS. See below.

Rules

Races will be governed by The Racing Rules of Sailing 2017-2020.

Eligibility

Any boat from NSC, BYC or CVGR that is registered for the Interclub racing program is eligible. Boats may sail with flying sails (aka PHRF) or without (aka JAM). Participants shall follow federal, provincial and municipal guidelines and regulations when aboard their vessels.

Schedule/Start

Boats may start any time between 1000 and 1030 EDT. The start line will be between yellow race mark P (45.3644°, -75.8206°) to the North, and a point ~170 m to the SSE of P Mark, in line with the Camp Fortune Tower, at 45.3630°, -75.8203°. The photo shown below was taken from the port end of the start line. I.e. boats must pass on the south side of P mark, and will generally want to pass close to P Mark. Boats shall record their start time at the moment they are aligned with P Mark and the Camp Fortune Tower, as shown in the photo below.

Reporting of Times & Crew

Skippers should record their start and finish times by taking photos of P Mark, as described here; ideally they would similarly record their rounding time at K11. Start and finish times shall be reported per normal procedures for reporting of times for long distance races. In addition, skippers shall report the names of all crew members.
