With winds ranging from 5 to 28 knots, the variety of multihull designs, both cats and tris, all had a chance to show their best attributes. At the end of the day, it was the cats that shone through and took the major places revelling in the great sailing conditions particularly the solid 15 to 20 knot sea breeze experienced in race 4.

Well educated in marine architecture he created some remarkable designs and was prolific in the Square Metre classes both on his own and in collaboration with other noted designers. His structures were considered to be very efficient and noted for making good speed yet leaving little wake. For her owner SALANA was pretty well love at first sight and having undertaken the works to restore her has had the benefit of real pleasure and enjoyment - not to mention the evident pleasure of his crew ! She is a truly delightful small yacht. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to BYC racing during the summer of 2020. Racing began in the summer with smaller fleets, although the less competitive nature of the racing did bring out a number of boats new to BYC racing.! Many of the Buzzard’s Bay Trophy races were cancelled in 2020, although BYC was able to run the Parker Converse Tower race and the Hurricane Cup. BYC was finally able to start organized Series Racing again on July 9th. During the summer of 2020 BYC was able to hold over 90 races, run by 87 BYC volunteer Race Officers. The Race Committee did not score races in 2020 because of all the uncertainties related to COVID-19, but participants were recorded. Additionally, BYC’s Fall Racing series from September 13, 2020 to October 11, 2020 was highly successful, attracting more than the regular number of BYC participants. The BYC Race Committee has been hard at work this fall and winter planning a full schedule of races for the summer of 2021 as well as preparing contingencies for the possibility of continuing to only be allowed to race under some form of Commonwealth or local Guidelines.

  • 2021 CSA Multihull Rule
    CSA Multihull Rating Rule January 2021 The CSA Multihull Rating Rule belongs to the Caribbean Sailing Association (CSA). This Rule shall not be used, copied or otherwise distributed without the permission of the owner. 1. General Items 1.1. Administration of the rule - The CSA will appoint a Chief Measurer, Senior Measurers, Measurers and Trainee Measurers to administer this rule. In order to obtain a Rating under this Rule a yacht’s owner or captain can contact one of the Measurers listed on the Caribbean Rule Website WWW.CARIBBEAN- SAILING.COM and arrange to have the yacht measured. In addition to measuring yachts Measurers provide the services outlined in this document. 1.2. Intent - The intent of this Rule is to handicap fairly the broad variety of multihull yachts which race within the Caribbean region. The rule will compute a RATING for each yacht which is intended to be representative of its true speed potential. 1.3. Time on Time Handicapping - This Rule is a “Time on Time” rule – Each yachts RATING will be converted to a TIME CORRECTION FACTOR TCF which will be used to convert her Elapsed Time (ET) for the Race to a Corrected Time (CT). (CT = ET x TCF). Hereinafter the terms “Rating” and “TCF” shall mean one and the same thing. 1.4. Alternative “Light weather” TCF – If the conditions during a regatta are particularly light, with winds consistently and significantly below 12kts, regatta organisers may opt to use the Light CSA Multihull Rating or TCFL in place of the standard TCF. 1.5. Ownership of the rule - The measurements used, formulae and calculations are the property of the CSA.
