Model Yacht Club Sailing Instructions |

|
1.
CMYC welcomes you to James Island County Park. We feel this is a great
sailing venue. To the best of our knowledge there are no obstructions in
the lake and the shores are free of debris. |
|
|
|
2.
There will be no dip starts. Between the first starting time, (one minute
to mark), and the starting gun all yachts will honor the starting line. A
yacht over early shall return by rounding either start mark outside the
starting line |
|
|
|
3.
Yachts hitting marks on the proper side shall continue the rounding and
render a 360 degree penalty before the next mark. Yachts hitting marks on
the wrong side shall first round the mark properly then render a 360
degree penalty before the next mark. |
|
|
|
4.
At the Race Directors discretion, and if so stated before racing starts,
there will be nopenalty for hitting a far mark. The far mark shall be
rounded on the proper side. |
|
|
|
5.
All protests must be in the form ?PROTEST (sail number)! Protested yachts
may exonerate themselves by completing a 720 degree turn prior to the next
mark (except when starting; see rule #6). Yachts doing penalty turns shall
be accorded NO rights, if called upon by a protest participant, the Race
Director/Marks Judge may render a judgment on the water. Skippers who
insist upon taking protest to committee will be assessed six (6) points if
found against. |
|
|
|
6.
Yachts with a valid protest incurred during pre-start shall complete
penalty turns after correctly starting but prior to the first mark. |
|
|
|
7.
Skippers shall clearly call their sail number when finishing. It is the
skipper?s responsibility to ensure the Race Director has recorded your
correct finishing position. |
|
|
|
8.
Yachts
shall stay clear of the finish line after finishing and may not re-cross
the finish line or its extensions until the last boat has crossed the
finish line. Any yacht which,
after finishing, causes a yacht still racing to alter course shall be
assessed a four (4) point penalty. This penalty is at the discretion of
the Race Director/Marks Judge and is not negotiable

IT
IS THE INTENT AND MISSION OF CMYC THAT SAILING BE ENJOYABLE. |
