NTC06 - Change to Barton Marine Offshore Championship Race Schedule

Due to the equinoctial gales the Brothers Race was not run on the assigned date. The committee has set a rescheduled date for this race and it will now be run in conjunction with the Evans Bay Yacht and Motor Boat Club Regatta and start from Evans Bay.

The Cook Strait Classic date and start time has also changed after feedback from competitors.

The date for these races are:

Cook Strait Classic

Saturday 12 December 2020

Warning Signal 11:55

Startline RPNYC

 

Brothers Race

Saturday 20 March 2021

Warning Signal 8:55

This amends clause 6.2 of the  Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club 2020-2021 Racing Season Offshore Notice of Race and the 2020-2021 Chronology of Races and Events

NTC05 - Change of startline

Yamaha Spring Series Race Day 1 – 31-Oct-2020

There shall be one race run starting and finishing at RPNYC

The start line shall be as per clause 12.6(a) of Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club 2020-2021 Racing Season Inshore Sailing Instructions

For the avoidance of doubt this only applies to the race on the 31-Oct-2020 and amends the 2020-2021 Chronology of Races and Events (as referenced in Clause 7.2 of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club 2020-2021 Racing Season Inshore Notice of Race)

NTC04 - Divisional Racing

As per the communications to Skippers and Club Members.

“This season divisions 1, 2 and 3 will be combined into an “Inshore Fleet”. We will run racing on Divisional racing days from Pt Jerningham start box or on the water (unless exceptional circumstances apply). The aim is for multiple races each racing day with various courses – triangle, windward-leeward and harbour. We will retain the separate series (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Alan Martin) and have an overall “Inshore Championship” for the winner. This is distinct from the Fleet Championship.”

 

This NTC amends clause 7.4 of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club 2020-2021 Racing Season Inshore Notice of Race and the 2020-2021 Chronology of Races and Events (as referenced in Clause 7.2 of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club 2020-2021 Racing Season Inshore Notice of Race)

  • Reference to Divisional Championship shall be replaced with Inshore Championship
  • Reference to Divisional Handicap shall refer to the handicap assigned by the organising authority for the Inshore Championship

For the avoidance of doubt – All yachts entering the Inshore Championship (formally Divisional Championship) have been allocated,  to a Combined Division under clause 7.3 of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club 2020-2021 Racing Season Inshore Sailing Instructions
