1 WELCOME! April 2012

Hello Racers!

Welcome to the 2012 Mass Bay Sailing Yearbook. The Yearbook is designed to be a reference guide to both Offshore sailing as well as One Design. Included in the book are individual Event Sailing Instructions, General Sailing Instructions, course descriptions and a wealth of other information. First of all, thanks to all of the racers (owners and crew) for a really great 2012 season. And Congratulations to the following skippers who competed in the 2012 Mass Bay Sailing Championship events and won their respective classes: Class A - Merriman Trophy - INDRA - Tom Linkas Class B - President’s Trophy - SUPERSTITION - Steve Spangler & Chris Zibailo Class C - Duplin Trophy - WHARF RAT - RJ DiMattia Class D - PHRF Trophy - TANK - Joshua Vogel & Ryan Murphy Class F - Doyle Trophy - SUMMERIN - Jody Graul Class G - Eclipse Trophy - FACET - Tom Tetrault J105 - NE Ocean Racing Trophy - STEELAWAY III - Doug & Peter Morgan Pursuit Spinnaker - Bradford Trophy - SUPERSTITION - Steve Spangler & Chris Zibailo Pursuit Jib&Main - Graul Trophy - CHARISMA - Richard Tubman Rookie of the Year - IL CATIVO - Pat Cerandolo Competitor(s) of the Year - KATABATIC & SCHERHERAZADE Gordon Hall - Hugh & Betsy Chandler Club of the Year - EASTERN YACHT CLUB Distinguished Service to Sailing - Walter Murphy

There are a number of VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES for 2012 that we hope will lead to better competition and more racers out on the water. Highlights include: Comments from last year We made several changes last year that we feel were well received and made the season better. For this reason we will be leaving them unchanged and in place. They include: - The classes and class splits - unchanged - The use of the Mass Bay Season Scoring System (CHIPS) – unchanged - The elimination of the travel requirement for classes D & G – unchanged - The separation of the Spinnaker and the Jib&Main classes in the Pursuit Series - unchanged New Web Site We have completely updated our web site! Please go to www.massbaysailing.org and check it out. We hope that you will find it much easier to find the things that are important to you as well as much easier to navigate to others. We have added some new features and refined others. There is now a very clear News section, a new Calendar, a new Blog area and best of all a new Events area that ties in with our new Event Registration and Scoring System (ERSS). New Event Registration and Scoring System (ERSS) We are introducing this new system in order to make life as easy as possible for the competitor entering events. This is browser based so you can use it from your desktop, laptop, iPad or smartphone. You will find a link on our web site that takes you directly to a calendar of all the offshore events. This calendar can be filtered to show you just what you are interested in seeing. From this calendar you can select an event to register for. It takes you directly to that events site/page and lets you register and pay right there and then. There are a number of additional benefits that happen after you do this the first time. On subsequent registrations you will notice that all of your information will autofill making the process much faster. You can also register for multiple events at the same time and pay with one payment as well saving even more of your precious time. The new system will then post real time scratch sheets for you to reference. Once the event is done the results can be posted by the Race Committee in real time. These

2 are just a few of the very extensive benefits of this new system. We hope that you take advantage of it and enjoy using it for the events that allow it. Minor changes to the General Sailing Instructions There were a few minor changes to the General Sailing Instructions. To make it easier to find, they are now highlighted by a bounding box. Please be sure to read them in their entirety so you can be certain to understand all of the basic rules governing our racing. Membership deadline for Season Championships We have established a membership deadline of August 15th in order to qualify for the Season Championships. Please be sure that you have become a current member by then so that you can get a big shiny trophy at the end of the season! New Crew membership category added We have added the ability of the skipper when they are registering their membership to add as many crew members as they choose. If they do this at that time it will only cost $5 for each crew. This will put the crew onto our email blast mailing list giving them the ability to receive all the benefits of Individual membership at a $10 discount. Please consider getting their permission first and then adding them onto the list. Expanded Jib & Main Pursuit Championship The Pursuit Championship has been expanded from six to eight races. The two new races are the Constitution Yacht Club’s June Moon Chase Race and the Eastern Point Yacht Club’s Gloucester Ocean Pursuit Race. Qualification for the season trophies remains the same. We will count your best four races with a minimum participation of three races. North Shore Ocean Race Series added In order to satisfy the increased number of racers who like to do more than windward/leeward courses PHRF Marblehead has added this series. It will be one longer race day with guaranteed non W/L courses that come from the Standard course list or purely government marks from List A, B or C. This means that reaching legs are all but guaranteed and that navigation skills will come into play. Six races have been identified with the best four races counted (minimum of three to qualify). Mentor Program concept being launched We are launching and testing a new program intended to give skippers the ability to have a very skilled and knowledgeable sailor from the local area agree to come out on your boat for a free one on one teaching/training session. Please see the web site for more info on this as it develops. Updated Marks List A & B Please make sure you review the MBSA Standard Rounding Marks List A and B. There are three changes to List A and many to List B. Both of these lists have had their lat/long data updated as of March 2012.

Finally, if you are already a Mass Bay Sailing Member or are just getting ready to renew your membership for 2012, we thank you. A lot of you reading this book however ARE NOT members, so we encourage you to join. Your membership fee not only helps Mass Bay Sailing Association to promote the sport of sailing through the efforts of volunteers and member organizations at all levels of the sport in Massachusetts Bay but it also enters you into the Mass Bay Season Championships for Offshore and Pursuit classes. And if that wasn’t enough, most of the races in this book offer a $5 discount to their entry fee for Mass Bay Sailing members!

So please go to www.massbaysailing.org, check out our new web site and become a member. I look forward to seeing you on the water this summer!

15 Recalls 15.1 The Race Committee will attempt to hail OCS boats using VHF radio. The failure to hail, the order of hail, the hail of some but not all, or the untimely hail of OCS boats, all shall not be grounds for redress.

16 Change of the Next Leg of the Course 16.1 For Races using MSBA Standard Courses, changing the next leg of the course will be in accordance with RRS 33. 16.2 For races using MBSA Standard Rounding Mark Lists A, B, C, a change of course after the start shall be signaled before the leading boat has begun the leg of the course that is affected. The Race Committee will display the approximate compass bearing to the new mark and the letter or number identifying the new mark. The mark at which the change of course is being signaled shall be rounded as if the course had NOT been changed.

17 The Finish 17.1 The finishing line will be between a staff from which a blue flag or shape is displayed on a race committee boat and the course side of a nearby mark. 17.2 Each boat is also responsible for taking her own time and, if possible, the names or sail numbers of the boats immediately ahead and astern.

For a yacht scored BFD, DGM, DNC, DNF, DNS, OCS, RAF, SCP, TLE (Time Limit Expired), or DSQ her corrected time in that race shall be the corrected time of the yacht finishing last in that class plus one minute. (This changes RRS A8.2) 21.6 Race scores shall be based on PHRF Time on Distance corrected time, using MBSA Class Splits. 21.7 When MBSA Standard Courses are used, the posted distance, adjusted for starting marks beyond the windward or leeward mark, offset marks and finish lines beyond the windward or leeward mark, if any, will be official for scoring purposes. 21.8 When MSBA Standard Rounding Marks, List A, B, C are used, the distance as measured from the mark positions, adjusted for fixed obstructions such as islands and passing and boundary marks, if any, will be official for scoring purposes. If an obstruction may be passed on more than one side the shorter distance shall be used.

22 Safety Regulations 22.1 Each Event shall be ISAF Offshore Special Regulation Category 5. 22.2 All competing boats shall have a VHF transceiver. 22.3 Boats shall check in with the Race Committee Signal Boat before their first start each day.

29 2012 CAPE ANN MAGIC CUP SERIES

Four Cape Ann yacht clubs and Maritime Gloucester are pleased to continue to sponsor the annual six-race Magic Cup Series.

This series is a refreshing change of (a) venue to the beautiful waters of Cape Ann and (b) course from shorter windward-leeward courses to longer (15 to 20 miles) asymmetrical courses around mostly government marks. Some races go as far north as Newburyport and some go as far south as Newcomb Ledge. These longer asymmetrical courses require an additional set of sailing skills.

There are six races, and two are pursuit races:

Race Date Start/Finish Cape Ann Challenge Saturday, 6/23 Gloucester/ Annisquam Chowder Cup Pursuit Race Saturday, 7/7 Ipswich/Ipswich Cruising Class Ocean Race Saturday, 7/28 Rockport/Rockport Ocean Pursuit Race Saturday, 8/18 Gloucester/Gloucester Mayor’s Cup Saturday, 9/1 Gloucester/Gloucester Great Race Sunday, 9/9 Annisquam/Annisquam

Guest moorings are available at Annisquam Yacht Club, Eastern Point Yacht Club, Ipswich Bay Yacht Club, Sandy Bay Yacht Club, and the Gloucester Harbor Master.

Any yacht with a valid 2012 PHRF-NE rating will qualify. There are no classes; all boats compete in the same race, where the finishing times (or starting times) are handicap-adjusted. Boats can choose to use their racing or cruising rating.

Trophies are awarded for each individual event (except for the Chowder Cup, for which there is no entry fee). The Magic Cup is awarded at the end of the season to the boat with the most points (in their best 5 of 6 races), using the MBSA Season Scoring Table.
