Welcome to the 48th International Knarr Championship!

On behalf of the San Francisco Bay Knarr Association and The St. Francis Yacht Club, we welcome you to San Francisco for the 48th International Mark Dahm Knarr Championship! We have assembled an extraordinary team that has IKC Chairman worked hard to make this IKC one of the best ever. We want to give special thanks to Commodore Kimball Livingston, JJ West (Club General Manager) and Lynn Lynch (Director of Race) for providing our regatta with the level of hospitality for which the IKC is renowned. The International Knarr Championship is one of the premier amateur sailing events in the world. Its unique format with daily rotation of boats is the supreme test of skipper and crew. With ten races in the series, consistent performance matters more than luck, missed tide line or a fortuitous wind shift. At the end of the week, one team will have the joy of winning but all of you will have had the thrill of great competition on our beautiful San Francisco Bay. May the best team win and may our friendships continue to flourish.

SAILING INSTRUCTIONS

1 RULES 1.1 The regatta will be governed by the rules as defined inThe Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) and the International Knarr Championship Deed of Trust (DoT). 1.2 The following US SAILING prescriptions to the RRS will apply, and can be found in Addendum B of these sailing instructions: 40, 61.4, 67, 70.5(a), 76.1, and Appendix R. All other US Sailing prescriptions shall not apply. 1.3 Appendix T, Section A, T1: PENALTIES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT will apply: The first two sentences of rule 44.1 are changed to: “A boat may take a One-Turn Penalty when she may have broken a rule of Part 2 or rule 31 while racing. However, when she may have broken a rule of Part 2 while in the zone around a mark other than a starting mark, her penalty shall be a Two-Turns Penalty.” 1.4 RRS 40 will be changed as follows: Competitors shall wear personal flotation devices while racing, except briefly while changing or adjusting clothing or personal equipment. 1.5 If there is a conflict between languages the English text will take precedence. 2 COMMUNICATION WITH COMPETITORS 2.1 Notices to competitors will be posted on the official regatta notice board located in the hallway adjacent to the side (Regatta) entrance of StFYC and may also be posted online at www.stfyc.com. 2.2 Any change to the sailing instructions will be posted by 1000 hours on the day it will take effect, except that any change to sailing instruction 3, Schedule, will be posted by 1900 hours on the day before it will take effect. 2.3 Signals made ashore will be displayed from the flagpole located on the StFYC Race Deck.

24 IKC 2016 2.4 When flag AP is displayed from the Race Deck, ‘1 minute’ is replaced with ‘not less than 30 minutes’ in the race signal AP for races scheduled in the primary racing area, or ‘not less than 60 minutes’ for races scheduled in the alternate racing areas. This changes RRS Race Signals. 2.5 Questions regarding the sailing instructions may be submitted in writing to the race committee. Questions and written responses will be posted on the official regatta notice board. 2.6 Flag B hoisted with one sound signal means ‘one hour before protest time limit’. When lowered with one sound signal it means ‘protest time limit has ended’. This changes RRS Race Signals. 2.7 Race committee communications on the water will take place on VHF Channel 69.

3.2 When two races are scheduled, the second race will be started as soon as practical after the finish of the first race. 3.3 If racing is scheduled for the City Front racing area, no boats may leave the harbor prior to 1 hour before the scheduled first warning signal. If racing is scheduled in one of the alternate

IKC 2016 25 racing areas, no boats may leave the harbor prior to 90 minutes before the scheduled first warning signal. 3.4 No provided boats may be sailed at any time other than that stated in the SI 3.1 and SI 3.3. 3.5 At the conclusion of racing each day, all competitors shall sail directly back to the harbor. 3.6 On the last day of the regatta no warning signal will be made after 1430. In the case of one or more general recalls, when the initial warning signal was made prior to 1430, the race commit- tee may make subsequent warning signals for that race after that time. 4 CLASS FLAG The class flag will be a black Knarr class insignia on a white rectangular background. 5 RACING AREAS 5.1 As illustrated in Addendum C the regatta venue will be located at the St. Francis Yacht Club and the racing may alternate between different course locations within Central San Francisco Bay. 5.2 The intended race area for the day will be posted on the official regatta notice board by 0900hrs on each scheduled day of racing. 6 THE COURSES 6.1 Addendum A shows the courses that may be sailed, including the order in which marks are to be passed and the side on which each mark is to be left. 6.2 No later than the warning signal the race committee signal boat will signal the course to be sailed with a number placard. 6.3 The approximate distance and compass bearing to the first mark may be indicated by the race committee on a digital board. 7 MARKS 7.1 Marks 1 and 3 will be yellow inflatable marks. 7.2 Mark 1o is an orange inflatable ball set as an offset set off of mark 1. 7.3 Mark 3 will be a gate. In the event that the gate is not in place, the single mark 3 shall be rounded in the same direction as the previous mark. 7.4 New marks, as provided in SI 11.1, will be red inflatable marks. 7.5 The starting and finishing marks will be race committee boats displaying an orange and yellow striped flag, or a nearby yellow inflatable mark. 8 DRAW OF BOATS 8.1 Per Deed of Trust article 3(E), competitors shall change boats per the assigned schedule for each day of racing. The cancellation or abandonment of a particular day’s race(s) will not alter the scheduled boat assignment for the following day. 8.2 In the event of breakdown or removal of a boat from the regatta the Technical Committee will place a new boat into service according to the predetermined schedule of replacement boats.

26 IKC 2016 9 AREAS THAT ARE OBSTRUCTIONS For safety reasons, each of the lines bounded by the following two points is an obstruction: (a) The northern end of the SF Marina entrance wave attenuator and the closest point ashore. (b) The southern end of the SF Marina entrance wave attenuator and the closest point ashore. (c) The “H” Beam piling (located approximately 200 yards west of the St. Francis YC) and the closest point ashore. (d) Anita Rock Light located approximately 0.30 NM West of StFYC (“Anita Rock” Q 20ft 5M), and a yellow buoy (located approximately 100 yards northwest of the Anita Rock Light). (e) The Green/Red Bell Buoy off the west end of Alcatraz Island and Alcatraz Island. 10 THE START 10.1 There will be no start if the wind measured on the race committee signal boat is less than 5 knots or greater than 25 knots for a period of at least 5 minutes. 10.2 To alert boats that a race will begin soon, the orange and yellow starting line flag will be dis- played with one sound at least five minutes before a warning signal is made. In the event of a postponement or general recall of that race, the orange and yellow starting line flag will remain displayed for subsequent warning signals. 10.3 The starting line will be between the staffs displaying orange and yellow striped flags on the starboard end signal boat and the port-end starting mark boat or the course side of a yellow inflatable mark. 10.4 A boat starting later than 5 minutes after her starting signal will be scored Did Not Start without a hearing. This changes RRS 63.1, A4 and A5. 10.5 The race committee may hail on VHF, after the starting signal, the sail numbers of boats subject to Individual Recall per RRS 29.1. Failure of the race committee to make this broadcast, failure of a boat to hear the broadcast, or the order in which the sail numbers are hailed shall not be grounds for redress. This changes RRS 62.1(a). 11 CHANGE OF THE NEXT LEG OF THE COURSE 11.1 To change the next leg of the course, the race committee will lay a new mark (or move the fin- ishing line) and remove the original mark as soon as practicable. When in a subsequent change a new mark is replaced, it will be replaced by an original mark. 11.2 The offset mark 1o as described in SI 7.2 will not be set on a changed leg of the course. 12 THE FINISH 12.1 For courses with downwind finishes, the finishing line will be between a staff displaying an orange and yellow striped flag on the finishing line boat and a staff displaying an orange and yel- low striped flag on a nearby race committee boat or the course side of a nearby white inflatable ball. The finishing line for downwind finishes may be shorter than the starting line. 12.2 For courses with upwind finishes, the finishing line will be between a staff displaying an orange and yellow striped flag on a race committee boat and a white buoy located approximately 200 yards upwind of mark 1. 12.3 Flag A displayed, with no sound, while boats are finishing means ‘No more racing today.’

IKC 2016 27 13 PENALTY SYSTEM When a boat takes a Turns Penalty for an incident that occurred at, or in the zone of Mark 1, her earliest opportunity may be after rounding mark 1o. This changes RRS 44.2. 14 TIME LIMITS 14.1 The time limit for each race shall be 120 minutes. 14.2 If the mean wind as measured on the race committee signal boat is greater than 25 knots for a period of at least 10 minutes, the race shall be abandoned. 14.3 Boats failing to finish within 30 minutes after the first boat sails the course and finishes will be scored Did Not Finish without a hearing. This changes RRS 35, A4 and A5. 15 PROTESTS AND REQUESTS FOR REDRESS 15.1 Protests and requests for redress may be written on standard US SAILING protest forms. Pro- test forms are available at the Jury Desk. Protests and requests for redress or reopening shall be delivered there within the appropriate time limit. 15.2 The protest time limit is 60 minutes after the hoisting of flag B per SI 2.6. This will be hoisted as soon as practical after the boats return to harbor. The protest time limit will also be posted on the official notice board. The same time limit applies to protests by the race committee and protest committee about incidents they observe in the racing area and to requests for redress. This chan- ges RRS 61.3 and 62.2. 15.3 Notices will be posted within 30 minutes after the protest time limit ends to inform competitors of hearings in which they are parties or named as witnesses. 15.4 Notices of protests by the race committee or protest committee will be posted to inform boats under RRS 61.1(b). 15.5 It is each boat’s sole responsibility to check the official notice board to see if she is cited in a protest. Failure of any competitor to appear when called for a hearing will be considered by the Jury as grounds for proceeding under RRS 63.3(b). 15.6 Breaches of sailing instructions 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27 will not be grounds for a protest by a boat. This changes RRS 60.1(a). Penalties for these breaches and class rule breaches may be less than disqualification if the protest committee so decides. 15.7 On the last day of the regatta a request for reopening a hearing shall be delivered (a) within the protest time limit if the party requesting reopening was informed of the decision on the previous day; (b) no later than 30 minutes after the party requesting reopening was informed of the decision on that day. This changes RRS 66. 15.8 On the last scheduled day of racing, a request for redress based on a protest committee decision shall be delivered no later than 30 minutes after the decision was posted. This changes RRS 62.2 16 BREAKDOWNS The treatment of breakdowns shall be governed by Section 3J in the IKC Deed of Trust.

28 IKC 2016 17 SCORING 17.1 Ten (10) races are scheduled. 17.2 Four races are required to be completed to constitute a Championship. 17.3 The Low Point scoring system of RRS Appendix A, as changed below, shall apply. 17.4 Each boat’s series score will be determined in accordance with the Deed of Trust. When fewer than six (6) races have been completed, a boat’s series score will be the total of her race scores. When six (6) or more races have been completed, a boat’s series score will be the total of her race scores excluding her worst score. When nine (9) or more races have been completed, a boat’s series score will be the total of her race scores excluding her two worst scores. This changes rule A2. 17.5 In the event of a breakdown, and when special consideration is requested in accordance with SI 16.2, the protest committee may, at their sole discretion, at a hearing to take place at the conclusion of the race, take any one of the actions specified in the Deed of Trust paragraph K. This changes RRS A4. 18 SAFETY REGULATIONS 18.1 A boat that retires from a race shall notify the race committee as soon as possible. 18.2 A boat that leaves the racing area between races shall notify the race committee as soon as possible. 18.3 Boats not leaving the harbor for any of the day’s racing shall so inform the race committee. 18.4 COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC: (a) As stated in the RRS preamble to the Part 2 rules, when a boat sailing under these rules meets a vessel that is not, she shall comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCAS) or government right-of-way rules. This supplements, but does not replace the rules of Part 2. (b) If a commercial vessel has sounded five blasts, and/or the vessel or the Coast Guard iden tifies an offending boat, the race committee shall protest the boat, in which case the jury shall assume that the identified boat has impeded passage or violated the U.S. Inland Navigation Rules, and the identified boat shall have the burden of proving otherwise. In the case of a complaint by a Vessel Traffic or the Coast Guard, the protest time limit shall be extended up to two days after the conclusion of the regatta. This changes RRS 60.2(a) and 61.3. (c) A race committee boat may signal a boat to alter course to avoid impeding the passage of commercial vessels by making a sound signal (horn or whistle) and pointing Code Flag V at the boat. The signaled boat shall promptly comply with the signal unless compliance would create an unsafe condition. If a boat fails to comply with such a signal, the race Committee shall protest the boat, in which case the jury shall assume that the course alteration would not have created an unsafe condition, and the protested boat shall have the burden of proving otherwise. (d) Boats may not take a penalty under RRS 44 for breaking any part of these sailing instructions, and a resulting disqualification shall not be excludable under RRS A2. The StFYC shall cooperate with and provide relevant information to the Coast Guard or other governmental authority regarding investigations of boats impeding ship traffic or violating U.S. Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR 83).

IKC 2016 29 19 REPLACEMENT OF CREW OR EQUIPMENT 19.1 The crew number and members must be the same in all races. No member of the crew shall be substituted unless a written permission is obtained from the race committee the day before the race, or in case of acute illness or extenuating circumstances, as soon as possible. 19.2 Substitution of damaged or lost equipment may not be made without the prior authorization of the Technical Committee. 20 EQUIPMENT Competitors may furnish their own electronic compass that displays only heading and timer data while racing. 21 LOG BOOK 21.1 Competitors shall report any damage or loss of equipment to the Technical Committee represen- tative immediately after securing the boat ashore. 21.2 Each boat is provided with a logbook by the Technical Committee for boat condition statemen- ts. It is the responsibility of the skipper of the boat to update the logbook in accordance with SI 21.3 and 21.4. 21.3 Any breakdown of gear, loss of equipment or damage, however slight, whether materially affecting the boat’s performance or not, must be recorded in the logbook, and reported to the Technical Committee representative immediately after returning to the harbor. 21.4 The logbook shall be signed by the skipper and the Technical Committee representative as soon as is practical upon returning to the harbor, and before handing over the boat to the next skipper. 22 ADVERTISING Boats may be required to display advertising chosen and supplied by the organizing authority 23 HAUL-OUT RESTRICTIONS 23.1 Boats shall not be hauled out during the regatta except with, and according to, the terms of prior written permission by the organizing authority.

Additional bottom cleaning by any means shall not be conducted or arranged by competitors or crew for the duration of the event. 23.3 Underwater breathing apparatus and plastic pools or their equivalent shall not be used by com- petitors around keelboats at any time. 24 RADIO COMMUNICATION 24.1 Except in an emergency or for a breakdown, a boat shall neither make radio transmissions while racing nor receive radio communications not available to all boats. This restriction also applies to mobile telephones. 24.2 The race committee will use VHF channel (69) to communicate to the fleet, including the loca- tion of the starting area, OCS sail numbers, general recalls and postponements. Failure to make

30 IKC 2016 these broadcasts or failure to hear them shall not constitute grounds for granting redress. This changes RRS 62.1. 24.3 Race committee may not acknowledge any radio transmission except in the case of an emergen- cy or a breakdown. 25 PRIZES 25.1 The winner of the regatta will receive the International Knarr Perpetual Trophy (which may be retained until the next championship) together with a take-home trophy. 25.2 The top skipper at the conclusion of racing on Tuesday will receive the Georg von Erpecom Per- petual Trophy, which may be retained until the next championship. 25.3 Other awards may be presented. 26 DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY Competitors participate in the regatta entirely at their own risk. See rule 4, Decision to Race. The organizing authority will not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with or prior to, during, or after the regatta. 27 INSURANCE This is a provided boat event. Boats are insured by a third-party carrier arranged by the local fleet. In the event that a boat and/or equipment is lost and/or damaged each party involved in the incident, regardless of fault, shall have their damage deposit (insurance deductible) reduced in the amount of $300 USD per occurrence. If a deduction from the damage deposit is decided by the OA, it may require the deposit to be restored to its original amount before the skipper will be permitted to continue in the event. In the case where a party to a protest is found to be at fault and whose actions are found to have contributed to an incident resulting in damage, they shall also be obliged to pay the above deductible. Damage deposits are payable to the San Francisco Bay Knarr Association via credit card.

We adopted mod- ern communications channels like email and texting to keep the fleet informed about rac- ing and other social events. We faced several challenges in the past five years, but have managed to emerge stronger than ever. At present, our season consists of over 30 races a year, not includ- ing our beloved Wednesday night series. Through it all, one defining aspect of the Knarr fleet has been the way it represents the very best in Corinthian spirit in yachting. During the IKC—the class’s signature event— we offer borrowed boats to visiting sailors, host our international sailing friends in our homes and throw legendary social events. All of this occurs within and around the lines of a beautiful one-design hull from Norway. Again, skol! Now, the future shines brightly for this fleet of fjord racers who have adapted so well to our lovely Bay waters. It’s impossible to say exactly what the future holds, but if it is anything like the past five years, the Knarr fleet is set to launch. There is something spe- cial about the chemistry of our group, the on-and off-water camaraderie and the fact that our fleet is attracting younger mem- bers. We are working diligently with our Nor- wegian and Danish Admiralties to integrate modernized class rules that will shepherd the class through the 21st century by mak- Svendsen’s Boat Works ing sure we remain a one-design class, invite new countries such as Germany to partici- Congratulates pate, and perpetuate the IKCs.

While no one in San Francisco has ordered a new boat from Germany as of yet, I am cer- tain it is merely a matter of time. As I stand here today, I see the support of Yacht Clubs like the St. Francis, the lead- ership of international Knarr Associations and the enthusiasm of local owners and I can’t help but have a positive outlook for the future of this fleet. Knarr: it’s not just a boat, it’s a lifestyle.
