Match Race Germany 2016 OFFICIAL ISAF GRADE 1 WORLD SAILING EVENT MATCH RACE GERMANY 2016 www.matchrace.de ISAF MATCH RACING GRADE 1 EVENT MATCH RACE WORLD SAILING EVENT ISAF MATCH RACING GRADE 1 EVENT MATCH RACE WORLD SAILING EVENT WHAT IS MATCH RACING Match racing IS THE greatest show ON water! It is a competition that places two boats, experienced skippers and crews against each other in a great sailing duel, from which there is only one winner. There is no second place. Crews sail against each other in two identically matched boats up to 40 feet in length. Match racing also has its own set of rules, which are subtly different from fleet racing rules. The competition is tremendously exciting to participate in. The crews are aggressive in their strategy and the boats stay close to each other with collisions coming thick and fast. To resolve the inevitable disputes, Match Racing uses on-the-water-umpires to hand out ‘instant justice’. Match racing is tremendously exciting for those participating and, unlike some other sailing competitions; match racing can be equally thrilling to watch. Before the start, the boats vie for control, circling each other and trying to wipe each other off into spectator boats in an elaborate game of cat and mouse. MATCH RACING RULES When the wind comes across the boats on opposite sides, the boat with the wind on the left (port) side must give way to the boat with the wind on the right (starboard) side. When the wind comes across the boats on the same side and they are not THE STARTING SEQUENCE overlapped, the boat behind (clear astern) must keep clear of the boat (MINUTES BEFORE RACE StartS) (clear) ahead. When the wind comes across the boats on the same side and they are overlapped, the boat on the windward (upwind) side must keep clear of the other leeward (downwind) boat. 7 5 4 1 Umpires follow each race and make instant penalty decisions.

Often the race will go all the way to the line with neither boat giving up until the winners coloured flag (blue or yellow) is flown from the race committee boat. A) THE start IS CRITICAL The starting sequence begins with a 7-minute gun followed 2 minutes later by a 5 minute signal. At 4 minutes the boats enter the pre-start area and begin an intricate, heated dogfight, with the two boats engaging in a furious one-on-one battle to gain the leading position on the start line. The countdown continues with a 1-minute gun then the starting signal, at which point the boats are allowed to cross starting line and head off around the course. BOWMAN The bowman who is responsible for sail changes at the front of the boat. He is the “eye at the front”. The bowman must be athletic and possess the ability to move about the front of the boat with ease and speed. TRIMMER The trimmer controls the smaller head or front sail. On the downwind leg, he will work closely with the pitman in controlling the spinnaker. PITMAN The pitman assists the trimmer in winching in the headsail & spinnaker. He controls most of the ropes that will shape the sails. MAINSHEET TRIMMER The mainsheet trimmer controls the largest sail onboard where most of the speed is centered. The mainsheet trimmer works closely with the skipper to ensure the maximum speed potential is gained from his sail. SKIPPER The skipper (or helmsman) is the team leader or captain on the yacht whose job not only involves steering the boat around the course but will make the final decisions regarding tactics and strategy during the course of the race. ISAF RANKING ISAF WORLD SAILING The ISAF World Match Race Rankings were introduced in 1989 and measure the performance of over 2000 skippers to identify the world’s most consistent performers.

The race was from Greenwich to Gravesend and back for a prize of 100 guineas. Much later in the late 1930’s, the competition of match racing evolved with the introduction of ‘one-design’ yachts held at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club for the King Edward VII Gold Cup. The interest of match racing grew stronger when three prestigious match racing cup came together. The Congressional Cup in Long Beach, California and the Royal Lymington Cup in the United Kingdom came together with the King Edward VII Gold Cup to form a series of match racing events. This series of events survived through to the early 1970’s. In 1985, the first World Match Racing Conference was established to supervise on the ruling and restrictions of all match racing regattas. The series received new interest with the introduction of the Faberge Egg award in 1995, a series of events where a competitor had to win three out of five events to win the highest prize money of USD250,000. Having all regattas under the watchful eye of the International Yacht Racing Ian Williams from Great Britain, skipper Union, the governing body was renamed a year later to the International of Team GAC Pindar, wins the 2014 Alpari Sailing Federation (ISAF) and set up a new classification for match racing. World Match Racing Tour. With Brut leaving as the main sponsor for the Faberge Egg series, Swedish tobacco company Swedish Match AB became the new title sponsor of the series and formed the Swedish Match Grand Prix Sailing Tour in 1998.
