Each
of the four clubs are organising and hosting one of
four races to be held this season, starting and finishing
in the River Orwell. Entries are restricted to members
of the 4 Organising Clubs. As in previous years, these
are fun races to attract new and past participants.
We continue to have the support of the “Evening
Star” newspaper, which is awarding a special
trophy to the winning club. Awards may also be made
at the discretion of the Race Committee for individual
achievement.
The first three
boats from each Club to complete each race in the series
will attract points according to their overall position
on handicap. Points will be awarded as follows: 1st – 1
point; 2nd – 2 points; 3rd – 3 points,
and so on. All races count, this changes RRS A4.The
Club with the smallest total number of points will
win each race. The Club with the smallest total cumulative
number of points over the series will be the overall
winner. Ties in scoring will be resolved as per RRS
A8.
Where fewer than three yachts enter,
from any one Club in any race, the
absent yachts will be scored as; the
number of boats at the start line on
the day plus 3. Yachts retiring will
be the number of entries on the day
plus 1

If
only one vessel enters any race, the race will be void.

the “Racing

by the Three Clubs' River Series Sailing Instructions.

cruising yachts of 17 feet waterline length and over,
