J/22 Fleet #1 - Special Fleet Rules Fleet Captain: Holly Jo Anderson Average Points A J/22 boat will be eligible to receive average points for missed WYC races as follows: • Average points will be awarded only for J/22s participating in regattas that have a stated J/22 class, racing as one-design. • No more than five average scores will be given to one J/22 within a calendar season. • Average points will be calculated based on RRS A10(b). Points equal to the average, to the nearest tenth of a point (0.05 to be rounded upward), of her points in all the races of that series (e.g., A, B, C, G, T, M) before the race in question (as permitted by WYC scoring program). Any J/22 wishing to be credited average points for a missed race(s), must notify WYC J/22 Fleet Captain (and WYC Scoring Manager) no later than 1 week prior to leaving for said event, requesting average points for the concerned races. This changes Appendix A. WYC Sonar Fleet 5 - Fleet Special Rules Fleet Captain: Tom Brown All Sonar Class Rules (“SCR”) are in effect for all races governed by the WYC Sailing Instructions, except as modified below: 1. Sonar Lonar & Double Handed Races: Sonar Lonar and Double-handed Races will be held the Saturday of the 3rd Big Island Race. If the races can’t be held that Saturday due to weather, the backup date is the 4th Big Island Race. In unusual circumstances, this could be rescheduled. Whichever race the Lonar and Doublehanded is raced in place of will not be scored as part of the Big Island Series. This modifies RRS 90.3a. The “Lonar Cup Race and Doublehanded Race” NOR & SIs posted on the WYC fleet 5 website. 2. Average Points for Missed Race(s): Any Sonar missing a WYC race because its owner or skipper travels to and races (or intends to race) in any Eligible Regatta(s) specified below will be scored its average number of points in applicable subseries (i.e., G, T, M, A, B, C, BI) for such missed WYC race. Eligible Regattas 1. Sonar Worlds 2. Sonar North Americans 3. Sonar regatta with a separate, individual Sonar one-design class start & scoring. 4. Sonar match racing or team racing regatta 5. Any boat at Lake of the Woods International Sailing Association Race Week For purposes of clarification: 1. WYC races held during an Eligible Regatta and 2 days before and after such regatta will be eligible for average points. 2. Limitations a. No more than 2 average scores will be given to a Sonar per subseries (e.g., G, T, M, A, B, C). b. No more than 6 average scores will be given to a Sonar in any year. Calculation of Average Points The place scored will be the average that Sonar earns for all of the races in the applicable subseries (i.e., G, T, M, A, B, C, BI Series) excluding the last race in the subseries in question, with 0.05 to be rounded upward. This will be calculated using scores for the applicable subseries (e.g., G, T, M, A, B, C, BI Series) in question and not calculated, or based on, overall Championship or Sunset Series. The place scored in the individual subseries in question will be used for scoring the Championship and/or Sunset Series, as applicable. Process: In order to receive average points, any Sonar requesting average points for a specific WYC race(s) must file a written Request for Redress according to RRS 62, citing “Scoring Inquiry” at the top of the form, and placing into the WYC Protest Box or emailing to Race Committee before the warning of the next race in the series. This modifies RRS A2. 3. Charter Boats: A chartered BOAT will be scored for club races as the sail number unless otherwise declared per WYC SI #25.6, not the crew. 4. A Sonar may sail with one or more persons. This overrides SCR C.2.1(a) 5. Boats must pay fleet dues. Dues must be received by the fleet treasurer at least 5 business days prior to any race which is to be scored. This changes SI #2.3 by adding this eligibility requirement. 6. For purposes of selecting the Sonar Fleet's representative to Champ of Champs Regatta, Sonar representative will be based on then-known Thursday WYC Sunset Series race standings. 7. Boats may not be “dry-sailed”. Pulling to clean or for repairs is allowed, regularly storing on a lift or trailer is not. Exceptions will be made for boats that may volunteer their slips so another fleet may wet sail for the duration of a regatta (e.g. the J/24 NA’s in 2015). WYC Capri 25 Fleet 0 - Special Fleet Rules Fleet Captain: Hermann Klaas The Capri 25 One Design Fleet Rules, updated March 22, 2018, apply to all Capri 25s racing at WYC.
