2009 JAMESTOWN YACHT CLUB
SAILING INSTRUCTIONS
I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Rules: Racing shall be conducted in accordance with The 2009-2012 Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS), as amended, the US SAILING’s prescriptions thereto, these sailing instructions and any amendments thereto, and the respective series notice for each event. This is a Club event - other Yacht Club or sailing association members are invited to participate. Therefore, all the JYC races are Category A Events in accordance with the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Regulation 20, ADVERTISING CODE.
Scoring: The low point scoring system, Appendix A, A4 (Low Point and Bonus Systems), will be used and is modified by the rest of this paragraph. The first place boat shall receive ¾ point. The following results, DSQ, RAF, DNF, DNS, OCS, and DNE (see Appendix A, A11 Scoring Abbreviations), will be scored points for the finishing place one more than the number of boats started (including those scored as OCS and DNS) in that boat’s race. DNC is not scored. Each boat’s score for each series shall be the average of the boat’s best N races (where N is the number of qualifying races as defined in each Series Notice). Worse scores are not discarded when prohibited by Rules 69.1(b)(2) and 90.3 (b) of the Racing Rules of Sailing. Only one DSQ may be thrown out per series.
Protests: In addition to the requirements of The Racing Rules of Sailing, Rule 61.1, Informing the Protestee, the protesting boat shall inform the Race Committee of the protest and of the boat being protested, as soon as possible after finishing. Protests and requests for redress shall be made in accordance with The Racing Rules of Sailing, Part 5, Section A, Protests; Redress; Rule 69 Action. The protest shall be written on a copy of the protest form found in The Racing Rules of Sailing (a copy of the Protest Form is provided in the back of this circular) and shall be handed in to the Race Committee or mailed and postmarked, either of which no later than 24 hours after the race. Parties to the protest will receive notification when and where a protest meeting will be held. Video/audio tapes are not admissible evidence in protest hearings. Mail written protests to:
Cheryl Rienzo

Jamestown, RI 02835-2438
401.842.5565(office)
401.842.5219 (fax)
401.560.0028(home)
Pending protests and results may be displayed on the JYC Home Page (http://www.jyc.org). Typically protests will be heard within two weeks.
Communicating With the Race Committee: Except for checking in, there will be no conversation with, nor transfer of paperwork to, the race committee at the starting line.
Checking In: As a courtesy, each boat should sail by the race committee before the preparatory signal to identify by voice the boat sail number and class in which it will be racing.
Withdrawal from a Race: Boats withdrawing from a race shall so inform the race committee by the race time limit.
Changes to these Sailing Instructions: Any changes to these sailing instructions will be displayed on the JYC Home Page (http://www.jyc.org) at least 24 hours before the race that the changes take effect.
Right of Way Vessels: All deep draft vessels and tugs/barges have right of way over sailing vessels. Respect of these rights is mandatory under the rules of the road. THE COAST GUARD HAS INFORMED ALL AREA RACE COMMITTEES THAT INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHEREIN RACING YACHTS HAVE COME TOO CLOSE TO COMMERCIAL VESSELS WITH LIMITED MANEUVERABILITY AND THAT THE COAST GUARD WILL SANCTION ANY AREA CLUBS WHOSE EVENTS RESULT IN THESE INCIDENTS. THEREFORE, ALL RACERS ARE DIRECTED TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE OFF OF ALL COMMERCIAL VESSELS AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR VHF CHANNEL 13 IN THE EVENT COMMUNICATIONS ARE RECEIVED FROM SUCH VESSELS.
RACERS MUST COMPLY WITH ANY DIRECTION PROVIDED BY THE COAST GUARD OR OTHER ON-THE-WATER LAW ENFORCEMENT.
II. RACE COMMITTEE SIGNALS
Course Signals: Course signals will be displayed by the Race Committee as numbers or letters to be read left to right where the left most digit (letter) designates a class and the following digit(s) identifies the course for that class. The Race Committee may shorten a race, The Racing Rules of Sailing, Rule 32, by stationing themselves, or another Race Committee boat displaying code flag S, at one of the marks of the course. The finish line shall be between the mark and the Race Committee with the mark to be passed on the side as called out by the course.
Fixed Courses: The course to be sailed is identified as a number to the right of the class designation. This course number translates to a set of marks to be rounded, the order in which they shall be rounded and the side to round each mark. These courses are defined in the course list at the back of this race circular. Sail Newport has prepared a new race chart, the South Bay Race Chart 2009. A limited number of complimentary copies of this chart will be available either at Conanicut Marine Store or from the Race Chairman in Jamestown. Additional copies of this chart may be purchased for a nominal fee from Sail Newport. The JYC courses are printed on the back of that chart, but in the event of any conflict between that list and these sailing instructions, these instructions shall prevail. A number in parentheses after a course number indicates the number of laps to be sailed, one (1) being understood. For example, the order of marks to be taken using the designated course of “9” would be: Start, Zp, 13p, Finish. For a designated course of “9(2)” the order of marks would be: Start, Zp, 13p, Zp, 13p, Finish.
Special Courses: The turning marks (to the right of the class designation) are identified in the order in which they shall be rounded and the side to round each mark. A number in parentheses after a course string indicates the number of laps to be sailed, one (1) being understood. For example, the order of marks to be taken using the course string of “Zp13p” would be: Start, Zp, 13p, Finish. For a designated course string of “Zp13p(2)” the order of marks would be: Start, Zp, 13p, Zp, 13p, Finish.
Starting Signals: Starting Signals will be made in accordance with The Racing Rules of Sailing Rule 26. Times of signals and signal intervals are identified in the appropriate notice of race series announcements. The Race Committee may, but is not obligated to, sound a series of short blasts approximately 30 seconds before the first signal. No timing should be made from these blasts; they are merely to alert competitors that a warning signal is about to be sounded.
General Recalls: The last sentence of The Racing Rules of Sailing Rule 29.2 is replaced by this paragraph. A recalled class will not start until after all subsequent classes in the original starting sequence. The warning signal for the recalled class will be sounded APPROXIMATELY one minute after the start of the last scheduled class. If there is more than one general recall, class order will be maintained with the warning signal of each general recalled class being sounded APPROXIMATELY one minute after the start of the previously recalled class.
Signals Made Ashore: Abandonment/Cancellation may be made ashore at the Conanicut Marina due to fog, severe weather or no wind. The Abandonment/Cancellation will be announced on Channel 72.
III. COURSE INFORMATION
Course Chart: The South Bay Race Chart 2009 prepared by Sail Newport designates the marks referenced on the course list in this book. A limited number of complimentary copies of this chart will be available either at Conanicut Marine Store or from the Race Chairman in Jamestown. Additional copies of this chart may be purchased for a nominal fee from Sail Newport. The JYC courses are printed on the back of that chart, but in the event of any conflict between that list and these sailing instructions, these instructions will prevail.
Starting & Finishing Areas: Starting and finishing areas to be used for the series using these instructions are:
The Starting Area is bounded by special race Mark 3 (NE of Conanicut YC) to the North, Buoy F (not shown on chart) to the South and the Bay channel to the East. Typically the Starting Line is at Mark 3.
The finish line is between Buoy F and the Conanicut Marina main gas pier. Buoy F is located approximately 500 feet East of the marina pier. Buoy F shall be the eastern most red channel buoy.
If for some reason we do not have a Race Committee Boat, we will be using the Finish Line for the Start Line also.
The race committee may display code flag "L" and lead contestants to another starting area if racing conditions so require.
When the course signals prescribe the last mark as the finishing mark (fin), the finish line will be at the last mark.
Starting and Finishing Lines: The starting and finishing lines will be between the Race Committee Flag and the nearby mark.
Turning Marks: Turning marks will be designated as noted on the course chart. Special racing Marks 1 and 8 are yellow plastic barrels. Marks 3 and 4 are yellow spherical buoys. Mark Z is a yellow cylinder with the letter “Z” thereon, located just northeast of the rock off Clark’s Boatyard in the Dumplings area, approximate position 41 29.211N/71 21.351W. Mark 15 is a yellow cylinder located in Potter Cove, approximate position 41 30.90N / 71 21.62W, with “15” painted on two sides.
Special Instructions: A boat shall not sail between Rose Island and the Newport Bridge or between the Dumplings and Conanicut Island. When sailing under the Newport Bridge, a boat shall use one of the three (3) center spans of the suspension section of the bridge. Boats shall pass through only the center span of the Jamestown Bridge.
Marks T or 6 as the Last Mark: Notice is hereby given that Mark T lies to the northward of the extension of the finish line at the Conanicut Marina dock and that Mark 6 lies to the southward of such extension. You should use this information in determining which way to cross the finish line in accordance with the Definitions contained in the Racing Rules of Sailing.
All government aids to navigation must be observed, except in the leg of a race where it is used as a turning mark and the following: Mark 13 (C"13") North of the Newport Bridge, and Mark V (G”17") Southeast of Gould Island. REMINDER: Narragansett Bay is a restricted waterway for commercial shipping. THE COAST GUARD HAS INFORMED ALL AREA RACE COMMITTEES THAT INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHEREIN RACING YACHTS HAVE COME TOO CLOSE TO COMMERCIAL VESSELS WITH LIMITED MANEUVERABILITY AND THAT THE COAST GUARD WILL SANCTION ANY AREA CLUBS WHOSE EVENTS RESULT IN THESE INCIDENTS. THEREFORE, ALL RACERS ARE DIRECTED TO KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE OFF OF ALL COMMERCIAL VESSELS AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR VHF CHANNEL 13 IN THE EVENT COMMUNICATIONS ARE RECEIVED FROM SUCH VESSELS.
RACERS MUST COMPLY WITH ANY DIRECTION PROVIDED BY THE COAST GUARD OR OTHER ON-THE-WATER LAW ENFORCEMENT.
JAMESTOWN YACHT CLUB SAILING INSTRUCTIONS
SUPPLEMENT
1. Conflicts: In the event of conflicting sailing instructions, these sailing instructions shall have precedence.
2. Eligibility: Entrants must be a current member of a yacht club or registered fleet and submit the Entry and Waiver forms (in the back of this circular), 2009 PHRF rating certificate by PHRF of Narragansett Bay and the appropriate fee to the JYC as described in paragraph 4 below. Mail the above forms and fees (see paragraphs 3 and 4 below) to:
Cheryl Rienzo
22 Top O’ the Mark Drive
Jamestown, RI 02835-2438
PHRF forms can be obtained from PHRF-NB at:
PHRF-NB
P.O. Box 356
Washington, NC 27889
Phone: (401) 253-0207
Fax: (401) 369-9319
Home Page: http://www.phrf-nb.org/
3. Forms: The forms provided herein may either be copied or pulled from this booklet. We need all the forms and the fee in order to classify a boat as registered. The Race Committee can not accept the forms and fee while on the starting line. Remember, NO FORMS, NO RACE, NO KIDDING!!! Do not participate in the racing if not registered; this can have an impact on the registered boats and is not fair to the registered boats. It is possible for non-registered boats that impact registered boats that are racing to be protested (see The Racing Rules of Sailing Rules 23.1 and 64.1d) and possibly even barred from all racing.
4. Entry Fees: For members of the Jamestown Yacht Club, the fee is $30.00 per series or $50.00 for all series and specialty events. For non-members, the fee is $75.00 per series or $95.00 for all series and specialty events. Specialty events only (e.g., Crew Rotation Race, Night Race) are $20.00 each for members and non-members alike. There will be a $5.00 fee credit for US SAILING members. A late charge of $20.00 will be added for all boats registering less than 24 hours before the first race of each series.
5. Results: After each Tuesday night race, the results will be posted in the downstairs restaurant of the Jamestown Golf Club Caddy Shack, at the Narragansett Cafe and on the JYC Home Page (http://www.jyc.org).
6. Overboard Discharge: Discharge of sewage and/or non-biodegradable materials during a race will be grounds for disqualification.
7. JYC Member Qualifiers: JYC boats that participate in the Cruise Week at the same time as a Summer Series Race shall get a qualifier for that week's race. Any JYC skippers that participate in a yacht club team race supporting the JYC at the same time as one of the JYC races shall get a qualifier for that race (as long as their boat does not race in the JYC race). A qualifier will be used as follows. If the boat with the qualifier has one less race than the minimum required, then the qualifier will give them the minimum required for the series and the scoring will be computed based on the boat’s actual number of races vice the minimum (e.g., a boat with a qualifier that has six races and seven are needed to qualify, then the boat will qualify and be scored based on the average of the six races vice seven).
8. Changes in Class: A registered boat will not be allowed to change classes in the middle of a series if at that time the number of races left in the series is less than the minimum required for a boat to qualify.
9. Change of Boat: A boat and owner combined is the registered entity. A change of boats by an owner within a series will constitute a new entry. The new boat may or may not qualify depending on how many races the owner’s new boat races. This will require a new Racing Entry Form, etc. and only a $20 fee will be levied. Change of boats by an owner between series will also require a new Racing Entry Form, etc. and a $20 fee will be levied. In order for the old boat to race, a new Racing Entry Form, etc. must be submitted along with the regular entry fees as itemized on the Racing Entry Form and will be considered a new entry effective upon receipt of all forms and fees.
10. Race Committee Communications: As a courtesy, race committee communications will be made on Channel 72. Boats may be identified for Individual Recalls. General Recalls, Postponements and Abandonment/Cancellations may be announced. The Race Committee will also announce, before the Warning Signal, that races will be held by the Jamestown Yacht Club and the location of the racing on Channels 13 and 16.
11. Handicap Scoring: Time on Time is used to calculate corrected elapse times. The following equation is used:
Corrected Elapsed Time = (Actual Finish Time - Start Time) * (650 / (550 + PHRF)).
12. After Clearing the Finish Line: After clearing the finish line, do not recross the finish line. This may hide other boats finishing from the Race Committee. CHERYL MAY BE ARMED FOR PUNISHMENT OF TRANSGRESSORS OF THIS RULE.

The Race Committee may, but is not obligated to, sound a series of short blasts approximately 30 seconds before the first signal. No timing should be made from these blasts; they are merely to alert competitors that a warning signal is about to be sounded.
TIME LIMIT:
Rule 35, Time Limit, of the Racing Rules of Sailing is modified by the following. For the Tuesday night race, the first boat of a class must cross the finish line before 2100, otherwise the race for that class shall be abandoned. If one boat of a class crosses the finish line before 2100, boats in that class will be scored until 2130, after which any boats in that class not finished will receive a DNF. For the Sunday races, the first boat of a class must cross the finish line before 1730, otherwise the race for that class shall be abandoned. If one boat of a class crosses the finish line before 1730, boats in that class will be scored until 1800, after which any boats in that class not finished shall receive a DNF.
PRIZES AND QUALIFICATION:
First place will be awarded when at least two boats qualify for the series, second place if at least three boats qualify, and third place if five or more boats qualify. To qualify a boat must race in 75% of the races (truncated) actually held in the series (if 5 races are held, then 3 races are needed to qualify).
