20i9 Race Book Sailing Rules Race Instructions Race Schedule Events Better Sailing Through Racing 1 President’s Welcome Hello Fleet! Thank you for supporting the many changes we have made over the last few seasons especially moving to the ORR-EZ rating system. I feel this has only improved the Fleet and racing. This was done with a lot of hard work from the board members. This will allow us to better aligned with the local Fleets and rating system in the future. This off-season we have renamed our organization to Hingham Bay Racing under the corporate name of Hingham Bay Racing, Inc. This season will see more changes as we are removing some of the preset courses and giving the PRO the ability to move the committee boat to alternative starting areas for changing wind conditions. They also will be able to select marks for suitable course for more competitive racing. This may be a little challenging so please familiarize yourself with the local mark list. Also see other changes made in the following: 1. We have rename or organization Hingham Bay Racing, Inc. 2. Handicapping under ORR-EZ 3. Eliminating some preset courses and renumbering the preset courses that remain 4. Giving the PRO abilities to move starting area and set traditional mark course 5. Eliminating I Flag also now as the 20% rule alternative penalty 6. Reinstating the 720 rule for alternative penalty 7. Returning to the traditional A-B-C starting order 8. The Rumbles have been altered a bit to help reduce travel time and mark selection. If you don’t like what we are doing join the board. If you are reading this for the first time please reach out to use. We are open to all sailboats in the Hingham Bay Area don’t need to be affiliated with a yacht club.
