GENERAL SAILING INSTRUCTIONS

Royal Geelong Yacht Club Inc. as the organising authority will conduct FESTIVAL OF SAILS 2015 on the waters of Port Phillip and Corio Bay from 21st to 26th January 2015. COMMERCIAL SHIPPING Port Rule 62B for Victorian Proclaimed Ports, including the waters of Port Phillip and Corio Bay requires small vessels in all circumstances to keep clear of commercial shipping. See Appendix “Q” Further instructions for each division or class are detailed in each series Appendix, which forms part of the sailing instructions. 1. RULES 1.1 Festival of Sails 2015 will be governed by the “rules” as defined in the 2013 - 2016 ISAF Racing

Rules of Sailing (RRS), Yachting Australia (YA) Special Regulations and the applicable Class Rules, except as any of these are changed by the sailing instructions.

1.2 Pennants, boom stickers and hull decals may be provided by the event sponsors. If provided, pennants shall be flown from the backstay at all times whilst racing, boom stickers shall be attached to each side of the boom and hull decals shall be attached to the topsides approximately one metre from each side of the bow. Boats failing to comply with this instruction may be protested by the Race Committee only. This alters RRS 60.1 and 60.3

1.3 A series may not be conducted if there are less than seven (7) entries. 1.4 A National Jury has been appointed in accordance with RRS 70.5 and YA Addendum A. 1.5 The following alterations have been made to the Racing Rules of Sailing: -

RRS 51: A boat with movable ballast or variable ballast (within the meaning of those terms in the special regulations) may move that ballast for the purpose of changing trim or stability. RRS 52 is amended to permit powered winches for boats over 14.0m LOA.

1.6 Unless in use, no part of any anchor may project forward of the bow at any time whilst racing. 1.7 SPECAL REGULATIONS The following YA Special Regulations Categories will apply:

Classes Category Rating Series (Includes Victorian IRC & AMS Champs) 5 Performance Racing Series 5 Cruiser/Racer Series 5 Sydney 38 One Design Series 5 S80 Class Series 5Melges 24 Series 7 Sports Boats Series 7 Multihull Series 5 Cruising Spinnaker Series 5 Cruising Non-Spinnaker Series 5

1.8 The Race Committee may inspect any yacht prior to or during the regatta for Special Regulation and Class Rule compliance.

1.9 After starting and prior to finishing, a boat that cannot manoeuver safely and is in danger of hindering any commercial shipping shall use her engine to clear such shipping. The engine use must be logged and be lodged with the Race Committee after finishing. The Race Committee will decide what penalties (if any) the boat shall be scored. This alters RRS 42.

2. ELIGIBILITY Eligibility is in accordance with the Notice of Race.

3. NOTICES TO COMPETITORS 3.1 Notices will be posted on the Regatta Notice Board located near the Regatta Office, Royal

Geelong Yacht Club (RGYC). Notices may also be posted on the event website (www.festivalofsails.com.au)

5. RADIO COMUNICATION

The Race Committee may broadcast the course to be sailed, names/sail numbers of OCS boats, and/or other information of interest to competitors on the designated course VHF channel. The Race Committee may also transmit course information by Short Message Service (SMS). Any failure of, or defect in, such a broadcasts will not be grounds for redress. This alters RRS 60.1 and 62.

6. SIGNALS MADE ASHORE 6.1 Signals will be displayed from the flagpole of RGYC located to the north of the main building. 6.2 When a signal is displayed over a class flag, it shall apply to that class only. 6.3 Code Flag “AP” (Answering Pennant), with two sounds (one sound when lowered) means, “The

race is postponed. The Warning Signal will be made not less than 60 minutes after this signal is lowered”. (This changes RRS Race Signals “AP”)

9. PROTEST AND REQUEST FOR REDRESS 9.1 Protests are to be lodged at the RGYC Regatta Office within 90 minutes of the finish time of the

last boat in the protesting boat’s Class in the last race of the day. 9.2 Notification of the details of protest hearings will be placed on the Official Notice Board as soon

as possible to inform competitors where and when there is a hearing in which they are parties to a protest or named as a witness. These notices are deemed to fulfil the requirements of RRS 63.2. Representatives of boats, who are parties to hearings, and their witnesses, are advised to remain on call in the vicinity of the Regatta Office (or any other place as directed by the Jury).

9.3 RRS 66 is changed by adding: “On her last day of racing, a party to the hearing may ask for a reopening no later than half an hour after being informed of the decision.”

9.4 In accordance with RRS 64.1(a), the Jury may award any other penalty at their discretion. 10. MEDIATION 10.1 At the discrection of the Jury, a mediation hearing may be heard prior to a protest hearing

involving an alleged breach of a rule of RRS Part 2 (affecting Rule 63). After the written protest form is properly lodged, one representative from each boat will meet with the mediator, no witnesses will be permitted. Protests not resolved by mediation will be heard by the Jury.

10.2 A boat that accepts fault at a mediation hearing will be penalised by having her race score increased by 30% of the difference between the boats finishing score and the score for DSQ in her division or class, rounded to the nearest whole number. All other boats scores will remain the same. Once accepted, this decision is not subject to reopening or appeal. This alters RRS 63, 64.1( a ), 66 and Appendix A.

10.3 The mediator may be a member of any subsequent Jury or may observe and give testimony to the Jury. This changes RRS 63.3(a).

11. RESULTS Results will be posted on the Regatta Notice Board as soon as practicable after the last yacht in

each Class finishes the last race each day. Results may also be posted to the event website at www.festivalofsails.com.au 12. SCORING SYSTEM 12.1 The “Low Point System” RRS Appendix A will apply except if there are five races or less sailed

Points = number of boats with larger corrected times, plus 2 DNS, DNF or RET will be scored 1 point. All other boats will be scored 0 points. The team with the highest total score over the series shall be the winner. 13. ALTERNATIVE PENALTIES For Windward / Leeward Courses 1 – 6, the Two Turns penalty (RRS 44.1) is changed to a One

Turn penalty except for infringements that occur within the zone of a rounding mark. For all races in the Multihull Series, the Two Turns penalty (RRS 44.1) is changed to a One Turn penalty.

APPENDIX “Q”

1. Be Safe! 2. Observe Victoria Marine Safety Regulations and in particular Rule Part 6, 112 (2)

Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to comply with these Rules or of the neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case. In complying with these Rules due regard shall be had to all dangers of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances, including the limitations of the vessels involved, which may make a departure from these Rules necessary to avoid immediate danger. What this means is that if you’re about to be involved in a collision, having stood on or give way in accordance with the Rule; every party involved is responsible in taking avoiding action to prevent a collision.

3. Local Rules require sail craft to keep out of the way of large ships. Do not impede the safe

passage of Commercial Vessel Shipping. Pass at least 500m ahead of their bow. 4 Be mindful of larger ships’ bow flare. When closing any vessel, to prevent being overrun

ensure you remain within sight of the Master/Officer of the Watch on the vessel’s bridge. Beware of overhanging bows and other parts of ship that might obstruct this line of sight. This means that your vessel may disappear from sight inside 500m from the bows of large ships.

5 All Skippers are reminded of their responsibility under rule 9(b) of the IRPCS, (b) “A vessel of less than 20 metres in length or a sailing vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway.”

6 Shipping Sound Signal Meanings:

One short blast – I am altering course to starboard (right). Two short blasts – I am altering course to port (left). Three short blasts – I am operating engines astern (stopping). Five (or more) short blasts – I’m unsure of your intentions and I doubt whether you are taking enough avoiding action to avoid collision.
