NOTICE OF RACE
1 Rules
Competitors should note that Bartley Sailing Club implements the RYA Racing Charter and will be required to undertake to sail in compliance with the Charter, details of which can be found at the front of the RYA Rule Book (Racing Rules of Sailing 2025-2028). The Exoneration Penalty and the Advisory Hearing and RYA Arbitration of the RYA Rules Disputes Procedures will be available. Decisions from RYA Arbitration can be referred to a protest committee but cannot be reopened or appealed.
All racing will be governed by the rules as defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing.
2 Eligibility and Entry
The club racing series are open to dinghies that comply with the rules defined by Severn Trent Water Authority and Bartley Sailing Club. Boats must also comply with their Class Association Rules and any boats that are out of class should report that fact to the Race Officer who may apply a penalty. All competing helms and or crews must be paid members of Bartley Sailing Club. Visiting helms and or crews shall be temporary members of Bartley Sailing Club.
3 Schedule
The schedule of racing for Club Racing and Regattas will be published in the club calendar, which can be found on the club website
4 Sailing Instructions
The Sailing Instructions are available on the club web site, notice boards and available when signing on in the OOD hut.
5 Scoring
At least 2 races are required to be completed to constitute a series or an event. Points will be awarded to Helms according to each boat they sail.
6 Prizes
Prize giving for the series races may be presented at an annual prize giving or at the end of the event.
7 Disclaimer of Liability
Competitors are entirely responsible for their own safety, whether ashore or afloat, and nothing reduces this responsibility. It is for competitors to decide whether their boat and its helm and crew are fit to sail in the conditions that they might find. By launching or going afloat competitors confirm their boat is fit for those conditions and that they are competent to sail and compete in them. Nothing done by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the owners and or competitors, nor will it make the organisers responsible for any loss, damage, death or personal injury, however it may have occurred, as a result of taking part in the racing. The organisers encompass everyone helping to run the event and include the organising authority, race committee, race officer, safety officer, patrol boat personnel and beach masters. The provision of patrol boats does not relieve owners and competitors of their responsibilities.
8 Insurance
Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third party insurance with a minimum cover of £2,000,000 (two million pounds) per event, or the equivalent.
