Past Events
21 July - The summer races were updated for Night Hawk to correct it's PHRF rating.
20 July - To all our Racers,
As this has been an unusual summer with our usual wind direction not being SSW
but more ESE, and therefore more courses into Newport harbor, our racers are
reminded that they should be considerate of other racers in other series racing,
particularly in the confined space of Newport harbor and the starting lines of
the other race series. Per The Racing Rules of Sailing, racers can be protested
by boats sailing in another race series. Continued interference with the other
regattas sailing out of Newport harbor, may be viewed as negligent by the Coast
Guard, who is monitoring the races. Several instances have been reported by the
other race committees of our boats running through the starting line with
a sequence in progress. Please be considerate
and avoid other starting lines!
All JYC race participants are reminded that operating in a negligent manner (as
determined by the Coast Guard) may cause our racing series to be terminated.
JYC racers are also once again reminded of the requirements, per paragraph 17.1
of the JYC 2010 Sailing Instructions, to check-out with the race committee if
withdrawing from a race for whatever reason, as we must notify the CG when all
our boats have finished racing.
Additionally, JYC racers are reminded, per paragraph 12 of the JYC 2010 Sailing
Instructions, to not recross the finish line. "If a competitor interferes with
another boat’s finish, he/she is subject to protest by the race committee."
Thank you for your attention to the above and your cooperation on the race
course.

submittal

6 July -
The
Jamestown Yacht Club Race Committee would like to inform you of the Coast Guard
requirements regarding our event permit for the JYC racing.
The race participants are not exempt from any Federal, state, or local laws or
regulations, including no-wake zones.
Per our Sailing Instructions, paragraph 17.2, all participants are required to
follow Rule 9 of the Navigation Rules, which prohibits interference with vessels
than can only navigate within areas considered "narrow channels or fairways".
Narragansett Bay has been designated a Restricted Channel and sailing vessels do
not automatically become "stand-on" or "priviledged" by virtue of participation
in the racing event, i.e., do not have right of way over a vessel under power
which may be restricted in her ability to maneuver.
In decreased visibility (less than 2 nautical miles), race participants must
comply with the COLREGS sound signal requirements.
Additionally, JYC racers are reminded of the requirements, per paragraph 17.1 of
the JYC 2010 Sailing Instructions, to check-out with the race committee if
withdrawing from a race for whatever reason, as we must notify the CG when all
our boats have finished racing.
All JYC race participants are reminded that operating in a negligent manner (as
determined by the Coast Guard) may cause our racing series to be terminated.
Thank you for your attention to the above and your cooperation on the race
course.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Rienzo
JYC Fleet Captain/RC Chairperson
