Welcome to High Point YachtFest 2012! After twice holding events in Sardinia and Corsica the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily emerged as the perfect venue for 2012. It is dramatically beautiful and has active volcanoes and thermal springs to ensure High the sea is comfortably warm for those late-night unplanned dips. The area is one of the most sought after destinations for A- list celebrities (like the Dutch Queen Carolyn, our two-time commodoress, and her famous entourage). Point

We have almost the same entrants as 2011 which means we can carry on where we left off...... tragically Paul Roux is no longer with us, but his son, Justin, is taking his place ...... and has a guitar-shaped suitcase, so be ready to “Keyp Rockin”!

All the yachts are based out of Portorosa which is where we will start and finish the week.

Portorosa and all the islands have supermarkets so you should be able to avoid the shame of having some of the Stromboli week left over at the end of your provisions.

After the event kicks off with a wild welcome and reunion party in Portorosa the fleet will visit Lipari, Panarea, Stromboli, Salina, Filicudi and finally back to Portorosa for the final party and emotional farewells. This area is great for swimming, YachtFest there are many spectacular sights, and some legs involve long distances, so the race legs will be tailored accordingly. October 2008

I have included extracts from Navionics charts in this booklet, but please do not use these or any other data presented here for navigation.

Please be reminded that a boat is entirely responsible for its own safety and nothing in this document or anywhere else, reduces this responsibility. It is for the boat to decide whether it is fit to sail in the conditions in which it will find itself. By going to sea, the boat confirms that it is fit for these conditions and that its High Point YachtFest crew is competent to sail in them. We recommend each skipper gives his crew a safety briefing covering Four Regattas in October 2008, in Gocek, Turkey. gas safety, MOB procedures, boom awareness, winch operation and lifejacket use as a minimum. Each skipper should make himself aware of any relevant medical conditions any of his crew have, especially diabetes, epilepsy or heart condition. It will not be easy to get prescription medicines during the week.

The prevailingHigh winds are from the west and northwest (10-15 knots) and numerous secure High anchoragesPoint are available. Occasionally the wind comes from the southeast in strong irregular gusts which Point are hot and enriched in Sahara desert dust and Etna ash. These winds arrive and pass quickly and are usually followed by thunderstorms, but if they are forecast we may have to change our plans.

The currents between the islands are driven by the winds and can be very strong, particularly between Alicudi and Filicudi and south of Vulcano.YachtFest These volcanicOctober islands 2008 have beautiful and spectacular coastlines but we need to be aware of hazardous shoals and YachtFest partially submerged rocks. It is important to navigate at a good distance from the coast. The depth drops off rapidly and care needs October 2008 to be taken when anchoring.

The Aeolian Islands are a great destination and were awarded the title Highof UNESCO Point World Heritage Site inYachtFest 2000. High Point YachtFestFour Regattas in October 2008, in Gocek, Turkey.

In this way, we will secure as good fleet as possible, with just one or two suppliers who are then willing to provide good support. Each boat is only allocated to us when the deposit is paid, which is why we have to commit as soon as possible. High Some areas we know very well and the others we may be less familiar with. We work with local suppliers and a network of people that we have established relationship with. We will use it to make sure we have Pointthe best organized event possible, safe, with plenty of fun. With the areas that we don’t know that well, we will employ a local contact to lead us through the organization on the ground, help us with the route, moorings and evening organization. If there is a charge for this part of the organization, we will spread it across the fleet and collect with the balance Invoice. The aim of the event is for everyone to enjoy safe sailing and socialising. Our group is made up of great people from influential companies from different industries and countries. We have a gourmet night, music nights and will look to do more in the years to come based on your wishes. YachtFest October 2008

John Hall Hall will be your Race Officer and his boat, “Galeodea” will be the “rabbit” for race starts (see below) and the lead boat for the week High (leading from behind, maybe!). The event will be sailed under ISAF’s “Racing Rules of Sailing for 2009 - 2012”. There will be 6 or so races (legs) with the worst result discarded. The overall ranking will be in order of lowest points score, so normally Carolyn, but not always!!. Ties will be decided Point based on each yacht’s best performances. The overall winners will receive an “appropriate” prize (i.e. reflecting the incentive afforded to the Race Officer and his team). Courses and Pre-race Briefings Briefings will be held every morning - see Race Officer’s crew for venue. All skippers and crews are welcome. The day’s course(s) will be given at the briefing, or later by VHF on the water. The start, finish and course marks will be selected features evident on the following pages. Interesting stories (“gossip”) from the previous night will be given time on the agenda. There will be a special section for skipper Colin. Start Procedure John’s boat will act as the “Rabbit” which starts the race by approaching slightly downwind of the windward mark on Port tack. The other entrants cross behind him on Starboard tack. The “rabbit” may trail a fender which you must start behind without touching. The start of the rabbit’s run will be pre- announced by VHF and if you don’t cross on the initial run, you may cross behind the rabbit at any time before the rabbit rounds the windward mark, after which you will be deemed to have failed to start. This procedure will be explained in more detail in a briefing YachtFest before the first start. The race will be considered to have started when the first boat crosses the rabbit’s wake. October 2008 Finishing Procedure The finishing line will be defined as a bearing to a conspicuous mark and you must record your own finishing time using the time display on your GPS. The normal time limit for each leg will be 18:00. Penalties and Protests A single 360° turn is the penalty for breaking a rule (“reduced” to 180° if protested!!). We’re not expecting any protests as we’re here to enjoy ourselves! High Point YachtFest Anchors / Spinnakers Four Regattas in October 2008, in Gocek, Turkey. Anchors can be left in place on the bow when racing, but don’t use it to make holes in other yachts, especially the “rabbit” at the start! Spinnakers, cruising chutes, jib poles and other equipment, such as boat-hooks are not allowed to be used to affect boat speed or to intimidate the opposition. Radio Check / VHF Procedure Week 1 Ã 04/10/08 − 11/10/08 Ã LAW We will have a radio check on the first day before we leave Portorosa.
