Introduction
As I write this, there’s lots of snow on the ground, and more in the forecast. I most sincerely hope that as you read this, winter is a distant memory, and the sun is out and a warm breeze is forecast for the weekend, taking you on a cruise, a race, or just a short sail with family or friends, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
2015 will be one of the biggest sailing years in Toronto’s history, with the PanAm games sailing events only a few miles from the ABYC clubhouse. Some of our race committee volun-teers and equipment will be involved, and I encourage everyone to try and get out to watch the medal races, planned for the harbour, and very visible from Sugar Beach off Queen’s Quay.
2015 at ABYC will include a focus on our Associate members, who are here to learn about and enjoy our sport. Please take time this summer to get to know at least one new Associate member. Our Crew Bank Night in May and our ongoing race-night Crew Bank is a great way for racers to meet crew, and our online Daysail Crewbank gives an opportunity
for cruisers to find non-boat owners to accompany you on a beautiful afternoon.
Boat owners know the magic of a day on the water. Spread the magic ... to our Associates, your friends, your family. It’s a very big lake out there, with room for many, many more.
This book is the culmination of months of planning by your Sailing Committee, Cruising Chairs, and Entertainment Committee. This summer, all of the plans are executed by the same folk, so we can all race, cruise, and party. Please take a moment to thank those who invest their time to make everyone’s time on the water and at the club as much fun as possible.

General Considerations
SafetyThe safety of a yacht and her crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the owner/skipper, who must ensure that the yacht is seaworthy, adequately manned, and fully equipped for the type of boating activities proposed. The skipper must also ensure that adequate emergency and safety equipment is carried, and that the crew is familiar with its location and use.As a minimum, all yachts registered in the club fleet must be equipped in accordance with the Small Vessel Regulations of the Canada Shipping Act. The Safe Boating Giude can be down loaded as a pdf at http://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/marinesafety/TP-511e.pdf. In addition all yachts should carry a VHF radio. Those intending to do any offshore or overnight sailing should upgrade their emergency and safety equipment accordingly.
MembershipSkippers are reminded that people who are not members but who sail regularly on ABYC boats shall join the Club as Members of an appropriate class.
Licenses and PermitsAll individuals operating vessels equipped with an engine within the Toronto Harbour Area (Bluffers Park to Humber River) are required to hold a Toronto Harbour License. Contact the Toronto Port Authority for details. All skippers are also required to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC). Information on obtaining this card can be found at www.tc.gc.ca/marinesafety. The operator of a VHF radio is required to have a Restricted Operator’s Certificate (Maritime).
Officer of The DayFor incoming cruises and other special events such as regattas, we need friendly, helpful ABYC members to welcome and assist guests. Please contact the Fleet Captain Cruising, or the Rear Commodore, if you can help. During the summer, OOD duties are performed by the Bosun and yard staff, but if you see a visitor arrive after hours, don’t hesitate to offer assistance. A binder with sign-in sheets and visitor information brochures are available at the bar.
Overnight AbsenceFiling a Sail Plan if you are away from your berth overnight is required by Club bylaw. These forms are available and filed at the gas dock. The logging of your destination and time of return is for security purposes, and allows visitors to use the empty slip you have vacated.
Crew BankABYC’s annual Crew Bank Night is an informative social evening (on the Events Calendar), designed to introduce novice and seasoned sailors to our Crew Bank racing program. The website has a direct link to our Racing Crew Bank coordinator. There is also a Day Sail crew bank sign up in the member’s area of the website.
Work HoursThe Club expects Senior members to contribute a minimum of 20 work hours excluding launch and haulout. Saturday morning work parties (9 to noon, from haulout to launch) are a great way to get involved in the Club and to get to know
11
your fellow members. Committee work and work parties involve race committee, clubhouse, yard and harbour maintenance, club operations, club boat and dinghy repairs, special projects, and the full attendance work parties.
Ship2ShoreTo subscribe to Ship2Shore, visit www.abyc.on.ca. The deadline for submitting articles for Ship2Shore is Noon (1200) on the Tuesday of each week. Articles should be sent to [email protected]. Questions and comments regarding Ship2Shore should be sent to [email protected]
Flag EtiquetteIt is desirable that, for a member’s yacht to be moored in our harbour, it shall be maintained in good condition, reflect pride of ownership and be a credit to the club. Flag etiquette forms a part of this pride and if a flag is worth hoisting at all, then it should be done properly. Flags, therefore, should be in good condition. This section provides general guidelines of flag etiquette for club members. Flags are usually displayed between morning and evening colours. Morning colours are made at 0800 hours (8 a.m.). Evening colours are made at the earlier of sunset and 2100 hours (9 p.m.).
The National Flag of CanadaThis flag, also known as the ensign, is the senior flag, and should be the first raised and the last struck. The flag should be flown from a staff on the stern. It should be displayed between morning and evening colours (it may be struck earlier, if the yacht will be unattended at evening colours). With the exception of unmanned yachts, the flag may be lowered before sunset. The flag should be approximately one inch in the fly per foot of overall yacht length.
Association and House FlagsAssociation, such as Power Squadron, and house flags are flown, only one at a time, from the starboard signal halyard. An exception to this is when flying a courtesy flag, when the association and house flags should be flown on the port spreader halyard.
Visiting Ports Of Other NationsBetween morning and evening colours, when at anchor, or underway, the foreign national colours are displayed at the foremost starboard spreader, or by mastless yacht, at the bow staff. The yacht’s ensign should be flown at the same time.
BurgeeABYC has several burgees. They are the Club, Flag Officers, Past Commodore and Life Member burgees. The burgees other than the Club are only flown when the corres-ponding official is aboard or, in the general vicinity of the yacht when at a mooring. The other burgees are flown in lieu of, but in the same fashion as the Club burgee. The burgee is flown from a staff at the masthead of the mainmast of a sailing yacht. If the masthead position is not practical, then the alternative acceptable position is on the starboard spreader signal halyard. On a powerboat, the burgee is flown from the bow staff. A burgee should be flown at the same time as the ensign, but also may be flown on its own day or night when at sea. The burgee may be flown at any time when the member/owner is aboard or in the general vicinity of the yacht when it is moored. The owner can only fly a burgee of a club of which he is a member. If the owner is a member of more than one club, then he shall fly only the one of his choice for the particular occasion. cont.
12
Dressing Ship and Prize FlagsIt is the custom in our area for yachts to dress ship after regattas, racing events
and special club functions such as Sail Past. When so requested or indicated yachts should be so dressed, but only when in port between morning and evening colours. Good form for code flags is indicated by a display of visually pleasing sequence, such as AB2, UJ1, KE3, GH6, IV5, FL4, DM7, PO third substitute, RN first substitute, ST0, CX9, WQ8 and ZY second substitute. There is no specific order for the arrangement of prize flags. It must be noted that racing prize flags belong to a specific yacht. Flags won with some other yacht should not be flown, even if won by the same owner.
Clubhouse Main FlagpoleABYC’s main flagstaff is intended to resemble the aft most mast of a gaff-rigged
vessel standing out to sea, and the colours displayed accordingly. The flag is flown from the gaff peak with the Club burgee displayed on a staff at the masthead. The national flag of a yacht visiting from another country is flown from the starboard yardarm. The port yardarm is used for signaling.
MourningMourning is indicated by flying the flag at half-mast. When hoisting the flag to half
mast, the flag is fully hoisted, then lowered to the half-mast position. When striking a half-mast flag, the flag is first fully hoisted, then lowered. Should the Club enter mourning, due to a member’s death, the flag shall be flown at half-mast during the daylight hours from the time the news is received until the conclusion of the funeral service. If the news is received during the dark hours, then the mourning shall be signalled commencing the next day.
Cruising ProgramThe Cruising Program is open to all members at ABYC. Cruising is a great way to
get to know other club members, make new friends and visit various ports on the lake.
The Cruising Program includes a series of organized cruises to Yacht Clubs and Points of Interests around Lake Ontario. Most cruises will have a designated Cruise Host (Host). The most current and up to date list of scheduled cruises will be found on the ABYC Website Events Calendar. Cruises listed in this ‘Events Book’ are subject to change.
Cruising Overview Club Cruises will be promoted through S2S and posters in the clubhouse. Please
note the new policy changes for Cruise Registration and Cancellation below.Cruise planning and details will be communicated by the Host by email and/
or S2S and may also include an informal meeting in the clubhouse on the day of cruise. If a participant would like to sail in tandem with another boat they are requested to advise the Host. Additionally, there is a ‘Day Sail Crew Bank’ of ABYC members who will gladly sail with a participant who requires crew (refer to ABYC Website/Cruising Section). They typically will not stay onboard that evening unless such arrangements are made.
13
Members are requested not to register for a cruise until they can commit to attending the cruise and to remove themselves from the sign-up list as soon as they no longer can attend.
Participant boats are required to leave dock no later than noon. In the event of inclement weather on the day of the cruise, participants are requested to monitor their email and/or visit the Clubhouse for a cruise status report.
Many Host Clubs will provide pre-assigned boat slips which will be forwarded to participants by the Host. These assignments are subject to change and it is important that participants confirm dock assignment or obtain their dock assignment when approaching the Host Club on VHF Ch 68. In addition to required nautical charts, all participants are encouraged to have the Lake Ontario & The Thousand Islands PORTS Cruising Guide on board.
Upon arrival all participants must sign-in at the Host Club with their Membership Card. A burgee should be flown when sailing in a Club Cruising event.
The Host will notify registered members if they are on the ‘Cruise List’ or are on a ‘Wait List’ 3-4 days in advance of the cruise and as vacancies occur the next regis-tered member on the ‘Wait List’ will be advised. Members who attend a cruise for which they have not registered put stress on the Host Club and on the Hosts and this is not consistent with ABYC’s Code of Conduct.
For complete information on the Club Cruising Program, list of Hosts and their contact information, registration procedures and cruising information please refer to the ABYC Website/Cruising Section.
NEW INFORMATION FOR 2015! 1.The Sign-Up Lists will be posted on the first Monday of the month preceding the
cruise date (e.g. Cruises scheduled for June will be posted on Monday May 4, 2015). The Lists will be posted (in the Communication’s Room). A reminder of the postings will be included in S2S.
2.When registering for their first cruise of the season, members are requested to provide their contact information which will be put into the Cruising Database.
3.Members wishing to cancel their attendance within 72 hours of the cruise must provide email notification to the Cruise Captains ([email protected]). A $25.00 penalty will be payable by a member if they cancel attendance within 48 hours of the scheduled cruise or do not attend the cruise.
Inquires regarding the Cruising Program, schedule and 2015 changes may be emailed to the Cruising Captains at [email protected].
Cross Border CruisingThe 2015 Cruise Schedule includes a US Host Club. Proper documentation and
identification is required for the boat and for all persons on board. Boats 30 feet or over are required to display an ‘Annual Customs User Fee Decal’ (apply online https://dtops.cbp.dhs.gov/). Flag etiquette is recommended (See ‘General Consideration’ section in this Events book).

Toronto East Long Distance SeriesThe ABYC Race Committee is constantly searching for new or improved sailing
and racing opportunities that would appeal to a broad group of our members regardless of boat size, crew size or spinnaker flying experience. One series the committee felt would resonate with our membership for 2015, is the Toronto East Long Distance Series (TELDS). This series affords the opportunity for participation in inter-Club ‘Offshore’ events. Offshore races are typically races that are longer in distance, utilizing existing marks with more emphasis on boat handling and strategic sailing skills versus close boat on boat tactical racing skills more often seen in what is referred to as ‘course racing’.
The Sailing Committee has partnered with several Clubs in the further development of the Toronto East Long Distance Series (TELDS). The series will be made of five ‘offshore’ events one of which is our own Donald D. Summerville Race. The TELDS series will offer a variety of offshore course configurations, lengths and divisions for single handed, double handed and fully crewed boats, sailing with and without spinnakers. All boats must have valid PHRF-LO certificates. Great camaraderie pre and post each race will be offered by each club.
Race 1 The Whitby 50 and will be hosted by the Whitby Yacht Club (http://www.wyc.ca). The race will start off the Whitby Yacht Club and will sail west to the end of the Leslie Street Spit and back again. The race will start on the evening of Friday June 19th. This date close to the longest day of the year and sailing east to Whitby with the sun coming up on the morning of June 20th should be special to all who are competing in this race.
Race 2 The Singer Long Distance Race will be hosted by the Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club (http://www.fbyc.ca). This 70 mile race will start off of Frenchman’s Bay and will cross the lake to the Niagara Mark, back across the lake to the Leslie Street Spit and east to Frenchman’s Bay. This race will start on the morning of Saturday July 4th. The moon will be nearly full as you finish off of Frenchman’s Bay in the early hours of July 5th.
Race 3 The Bluffers Distance Race will be hosted by Highland Yacht Club. This will be a day race starting off of Bluffers Park using designated marks along our shoreline so that the length of the race fits nicely with the forecasted wind conditions. This race will start on the morning of Saturday August 9th and will be designed to be completed later in the day. This will be mid-summer and the water will be warm. A post race swim before heading in Bluffers for the party may be in the cards for many competitors.
Race 4 The Whitby 100 will start off the Whitby Yacht Club (http://www.wyc.ca)and will sail to the Niagara Mark, back across the lake to a mark off of Newcastle and then west, back to Whitby. The race will start on the evening of Friday September 11th. This will the highlight of the series with a full night of sailing, the sun coming up as you cross the lake towards Newcastle and a morning thermal should be seen to power you down the shore to the finish off of Whitby.
Race 5 Our own Donald D Summerville race will start off of our Club and will use designated marks along our shoreline so that the length of the race fits nicely with the forecasted wind conditions. This race will start on the morning of Saturday September 26th and will be designed to be completed later in the day. The winds are normally back for this race and a fleet of ABYC sailors will
17
be out for one of the last races of the year. By now most of your series points are on the board and you’ll be racing to consolidate your position in your fleet, perhaps throwing a loose cover on a competitor near you in the final standing to hold or enhance your overall series result.
All races will offer PHRF-LO scoring for fully crewed, single and double handed
boats. Within each of these classes, spinnaker and white sail divisions will be offered. Flags will be offered for each race and overall series winners will also be awarded flags after the last race of the year. To qualify for the series awards you must compete in at least 3 races. If you compete in five or four races your best three finishes will count for your series score.
Please watch the Ship2Shore for further details, each event’s sailing instructions etc. as the date for each race approaches.
Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions
1 Rules1.1 These instructions apply to all club races. Events using the fixed mark course
have shared instructions in Appendix A. Additional instructions specific to each event are contained in Appendices B1 through B9. Criteria for prizes and Awards are contained in Appendix C.
1.2 These races will be governed by the ‘rules’ as defined in the current edition of Racing Rules of Sailing.
1.3 For the purpose of defining what sails may be used in the JaM fleets, the PHRF-LO definition of a Jib will apply. Refer to rule 50.4.
1.4 For the purpose of complying with rule 78.2, the boat in question will be deemed as having a valid PHRF certificate provided notification has been received from a designated club handicapper that there is sufficient information to assign and interim rating.
1.5 Boats in One Design divisions shall comply with Class rules. con’t
A Racing Yacht’s Obligation to Race CommitteeAlthough there is no mandatory requirement for yachts participating in club racing
to sign up for Race Committee duty, the crew of a racing yacht may be called upon to give emergency backup assistance to the Race Committee for any club race. (refer to SI 18) On the weekends, ABYC must find Race Committee personnel for the various events in the racing calendar, some of which are ABYC club events as well as sister clubs’ regattas, for which ABYC runs courses in exchange for assistance they give to our club.
We cannot continue to rely on a small group of dedicated volunteers to run all of these events and we need help from the people who benefit from the high quality of Race Committee management for which ABYC is known. Although weekend Race Committee duty will not be mandatory, each racing boat in the fleet will be expected to help with an event. Molly Asseltine, our Race Committee coordinator, will be approaching you to ask for which event(s) you wish to sign up.
This system will only work if everyone steps up to the plate when asked and gives back to the racing program you all enjoy.
18
2 Entries2.1 Entry for club racing shall consist of submitting a completed Event Registration
form to the Fleet Registrar or Race Committee Chair, prior to the first race in which a boat participates. A boat which participates in a race without having submitted a registration form shall be scored DNC for that race. Skippers failing to file on or before May 6 shall be subject to a $25 Late Registration Fee. These funds will be donated to the junior sailing program.
2.2 All keelboats participating in weeknight racing shall have a PHRF-LO certificate. J24 and Thunderbird class boats planning to participate in weeknight club racing in any PHRF Divisions are required to have a PHRF-LO Certificate. J24 and Thunderbirds competing only in Thursday evening One Design racing are exempt from this requirement, provided they are current paid up members of their local Fleet Associations. A standard class rating will be used for these boats.
2.3 Boats not registered in the club fleet may be allowed to participate in a club event provided that they have requested and received permission from the Rear Commodore or Race Committee Chair prior to the event. Such boats shall not be eligible for any club trophy.

positions for Handicap Divisions.15.5 If the Race Committee requires the crew of a competitor to assist or form the
Race Committee for a race of any series, the boat will receive the equivalent to her average position in the races counted in the series, rounded up to the next best finishing position.
15.6 Failure of a boat to assist the race committee if requested will be in violation of SI 17.1 and subject to disqualification if protested.
21
16 Scoring Inquiries16.1 A boat which believes a scoring error may have been made may submit a
Scoring Inquiry. On-line submissions should be made to [email protected], otherwise forms are available outside the office.
16.2 The scoring inquiry shall be submitted to the club scorer within one week of the posting of the preliminary results, however, boats are encouraged to submit scoring inquiries as soon as possible.
16.3 If the boat is not satisfied with the response from the scorer, the scoring inquiry may be submitted to the Race Officer who was in charge of the race or series concerned.
16.4 If the issue is not resolved a ‘Request for Redress’ may be submitted. The time limit for submission of a request for redress under these circumstances shall be 60 minutes from when the affected party was notified of the decision of the Race Officer.
17 Race Committee Duties17.1 In the event that there is insufficient race committee crew for any club race,
the Race Officer, or his/her delegate may call on the crew of a boat to provide as many members as necessary to make up a Race Committee. A boat so requested by the race committee must comply (refer to SI 15.6).
18 Safety18.1 Boats shall not raise spinnakers on downwind starts prior to clearing the start line.18.2 Boats shall not race with anchors stowed in such a manner that they extend
outside the deck edge of the boat.18.3 Competitors in dinghies shall wear a PFD (personal floatation device) when
racing.

Attention All Skippers and Crews
Remember it is your responsibility to submit the results of all non-club events if you wish them to be considered for the Ashbridge and Stapleton Trophies.
ABYC Corinthian FundThe Corinthian Fund is available to provide support for ABYC members to
compete at major events away from our home waters. In recent years we have supported a Trans-Atlantic campaign, entries to North American and World events, and Junior sailors in their endeavours flying the ABYC burgee as part of the Ontario Sailing team. Members who are interested in applying for support are encouraged to contact the Rear Commodore, [email protected], for advice on funding criteria and guidance on preparing an application. Grants are limited to $1000 or less per event.
Many of you have contributed to this fund and its endeavours over the years and we welcome your continuing donations and gifts in memoriam. Unfortunately because adult as well as youth sailors receive Corinthian Fund grants, the CRA does not allow you a tax deduction.
The word “Corinthian” is taken in the sailing world to mean “amateur” and is derived from the Corinthian games in ancient Greece. It was adopted by the sailing community in the late 19th Century – “A Corinthian sailor, we take it, is one capable of managing a craft either single-handed (if she is small enough) or with the assistance of other amateurs, if she is from 5 to 30 tons.” F. Cowper, Sailing Tours Part l: The Coasts of Essex and Suffolk 1892
