Signal: Flag "AP" Flag "A" Flag "H" Meaning: All races not started are postponed; do not leave the harbour area. When flag AP is displayed ashore, the warning signal will be made not less than 60 minutes after removal of flag AP ashore. This changes the text under AP in RRS – Race Signals. Boats shall proceed to their racing area, the warning signal will be made not less than 60 minutes after the display of this flag. Boats shall not launch before this flag (and class flag when appropriate) has been displayed. This flag will be displayed on a flag pole located near the appropriate berthing places of the classes in the various boat parks. Competitors shall not launch and shall await further instructions. 5 FORMAT OF THE REGATTA 5.1 Optimist and Optimist Benjamin will be combined in one fleet. 5.2 a) The Optimist fleet will sail a qualifying and finals series. b) For the Splash and/or 29er fleet the regatta may consist of qualifying series and final series. c) All other classes will sail fleet racing series throughout the regatta. 5.3 a) For the qualifying series, the Optimist fleet will be divided into starting groups of maximum 70 boats of, as nearly as possible, equal size and ability. b) If the Splash fleet is divided, two starting groups of maximum 60 boats of, as nearly as possible, equal size and ability, will be formed for the qualifying series. c) If the 29er fleet is divided, two starting groups of maximum 50 boats of, as nearly as possible, equal size and ability, will be formed for the qualifying series. d) Initial assignments will be made on a random basis by the class organizations. Those assignments will be posted by 9:00 hrs on 29 May 2014. 5.4 a) In the qualifying series boats will be reassigned to starting groups for the second day (and eventually third and fourth day - see SI 5.5) of racing, except if on the first day only one race is completed. b) If all starting groups have completed the same number of races, boats will be reassigned on the basis of their ranks in the series. If not all starting groups have completed the same number of races the series scores for reassignment will be calculated for those races, numbered in order of completion, completed by all starting groups. c) For the Optimist fleet, reassignments will be made on a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc. basis into different colour groups. d) In case the Splash and/or 29er fleets are divided, reassignments will be made on a 1,2,2,1,1,2,etc. basis into different colour groups. e) Assignments will be based on the ranking available at 19:30 hrs that day regardless of protests or requests for redress not yet decided. Assignments or reassignments will be no grounds for redress. This changes RRS 62.1(a). f) When the last race of the qualifying series is not valid for all starting groups, the race shall be abandoned for all concerned starting groups (this changes RRS 32.1). Page | 2 of 25 5.5 a) Classes sailing qualifying and final series will be split into final series starting groups when five (5) or more valid races have been completed by the end of racing on Friday 30 May and after the last protest of that day. b) If less than five (5) valid races have been completed, the fleet will continue the qualifying series during Saturday 31 May. If then by the end of racing on Saturday 31 May and after the last protest of that day, five (5) or more valid races have been completed, the relevant fleet(s) will be split into final series starting groups for racing on Sunday, 1 June. If less than five (5) races have been completed by Saturday 31 May, there will be no final series races. c) Boats will be assigned to final series starting groups on the basis of their ranks in the qualifying series. The final series starting groups will be, as nearly as possible, of equal size but so that the Silver group is not larger than the Gold group and so on. Boats with the best qualifying series ranks will race all final series races in Gold, boats with the next best qualifying series ranks will race in Silver, and etc. for Bronze, Emerald, Ivory, Pearl and Ruby. d) Different final series groups need not have completed the same number of final races. 6 PROGRAM AND SCHEDULE OF RACES 6.1 The schedule of races is as follows: Date Wed Thu Thu Fri Sat Sun 6.2 6.3 6.4 28 May 29 May 29 May 30 May 31 May 1 June All Classes except Techno 293 Techno 293 and RS:X Youth and RS:X Youth Registration and measurement Registration and measurement 3 races 3 races 4 races 3 races 4 races 3 races 3 races 3 races The scheduled time of the warning signal for the first race each day is displayed in the schedule of races in Appendix 3.

The race committee signal boats of each racing area are identified as follows: Racing Area 1 (South) 2 (East) 3 (West) 4 (North) 8.4 Racing Area Identification Club Standard of ZV Workum Club Standard of WSV Hoorn Flag of City of Workum Club Standard of KZ&RV Hollandia The starting area for each course is defined as 100 m up and downwind of the starting line, and 50 m to port and starboard on both extensions. 9 THE COURSES 9.1 The diagrams in Appendix 2 show the courses, including the approximate angles between legs, the order in which marks are to be passed, and the side on which each mark is to be left. 9.2 No later than the warning signal, the race committee signal boat will display the approximate compass bearing of the first leg. 9.3 For the Optimist class the course will not be shortened. This changes RRS 32. 9.4 For the 29er, the RS:X Youth and the Techno 293 class the course to be sailed will be indicated with a yellow board with a black number 2 or 3. 10 MARKS 10.1 The colour and shape of the marks of the Racing Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be shown on the Official Notice Board. 10.2 The color and shape of new marks, as provided in SI 12.1, will be shown on the Official Notice Board. 10.3 The starting marks will be the race committee signal boat at the starboard end and a pole mark at the port end. See also SI 11.1. 10.4 The finishing marks will be a race committee boat on one end and a pole mark at the other end. See also SI 13.1. 10.5 A race committee boat signaling a change of course is a mark as provided in SI 12.2. 11 THE START 11.1 The starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag at the race committee signal boat at the starboard end and an orange flag on a pole mark at the port end. 11.2 An inner limit mark (ILM) may be used. If a mark ILM is used, boats shall leave the mark ILM to starboard while starting. Mark ILM is a starting mark as prescribed in the preamble to RRS, part 2, section C. 11.3 If flag U has been displayed as the preparatory signal, no part of a boat’s hull, crew or equipment shall be in the triangle formed by the ends of the starting line and the Page | 5 of 25 11.4 11.5 11.6 11.7 first mark during the last minute before her starting signal. If a boat breaks this rule and is identified, she shall be disqualified without a hearing but not if the race is restarted or resailed or postponed or abandoned before the starting signal. This changes RRS 26. When RRS 30.1 is applicable, the extensions of the Starting Line are the extensions outside of the race committee signal boat at the starboard end and the pole mark at the port end. Boats in Racing Area 1 and 2 (Optimists and Cadets) whose warning signal has not been made shall comply with SI 22.2. Boats in Racing Area 3 and 4 whose warning signal has not been made shall avoid the starting area as defined in SI 8.4. A boat starting later than four (4) minutes after her starting signal will be scored DNS. This changes RRS A4 and A5. 12 CHANGE OF THE NEXT LEG OF THE COURSE 12.1 To change the next leg of the course, the race committee will lay a new mark/gate (or move the finishing line) and the original mark(s) will be removed as soon as practicable. When in a subsequent change a new mark is replaced, it will be replaced by an original mark. 12.2 Except at a gate, boats shall pass between the race committee boat signaling the change of course and the nearby mark, leaving the mark to port and the race committee boat to starboard. This changes RRS 28. Racing Area 1 and 2 (Optimist) only. 12.3 When before or with the warning signal a blue board is shown displaying a new compass bearing, boats shall round the blue windward mark instead of Mark 1. 13 THE FINISH The finishing line will be between a staff displaying a blue flag at the race committee boat and a blue flag at the pole mark. 14 PENALTY SYSTEM 14.1 RRS Appendix P will apply as amended as follows: a) Add the following sentence to RRS P2.1: On the first protest, when penalized after she has finished, she will be given a scoring penalty of 8 points without a hearing. b) RRS P2.2 is changed to: When a boat is penalized a second or subsequent time during the regatta, her penalty shall be to promptly retire from the race. If she fails to take it she shall be disqualified without a hearing and her score shall not be excluded. c) RRS P2.3 will not apply. 14.2 For the 29er class RRS 44.1 and 44.2 are changed so that only one turn, including one tack and one gybe, is required. Arbitration 14.3 As an alternative to a protest hearing by the Jury for an alleged breach of a rule of RRS Part 2, boats are given the choice of using an arbitration procedure. This arbitration procedure changes RRS 63 and 64. 14.4 a) When a party to the protest does not agree to arbitration the protest will be heard by a full panel. Page | 6 of 25 b) When both parties to the protest agree to arbitration they each agree to the following: 1. The protest is valid, and 2. The arbitration decision will be binding, and 3. No witnesses will be heard during the arbitration, and 4. Questions by parties will be limited to those necessary to establish the basic facts found. c) When a party to the protest informs the Jury that they do not wish to attend a hearing that party will be deemed to have agreed to arbitration. 14.5 a) The arbitrators will be two members of the Jury. b) The arbitrators will hear the testimony of the parties and then give one of the following decisions: 1. There was no breach of a rule by either boat, or 2. One or both boats broke a rule of RRS Part 2 and the Arbitration Penalty will be applied, or 3. The case will be referred to a protest hearing. 14.6 An Arbitration Penalty (ARB) will be a 30% Scoring Penalty calculated as stated in RRS 44.3(c). 14.7 a) If the arbitrators have referred the case to a protest hearing, or if the Jury initiates a reopening, any penalty given for a breach of a rule of RRS Part 2 will be the Arbitration Penalty. b) If the hearing is reopened at the request of a party to the protest under RRS 66 any penalty given may be an Arbitration Penalty of disqualification at the discretion of the Jury. c) The panel for protest hearings held under SI 14.7a or 14.7b may include one or both of the arbitrators. 15 TIME LIMITS, TARGET TIMES and ABANDONING A RACE 15.1 Time limits and target times for all classes are as follows: Time Limit Mark 1 time limit Target time 29er, Techno 293, RS:X Youth 45 minutes 15 minutes 35 minutes All other classes 60 minutes 15 minutes 40 minutes If no boat has passed Mark 1 within the Mark 1 time limit the race will be abandoned. 15.2 Boats failing to finish within 15 minutes after the first boat in her class sails the course and finishes will be scored Did Not Finish without a hearing. This changes RRS 35 and A4 and A5. 15.3 Under RRS 32.1, the race committee may abandon the race because of a major wind shift or irregular winds or when the wind speed drops below five (5) knots (2.5 m/s) as measured by the race committee. 15.4 Failure to meet the target time, or an action or an omission under SI 15.3, is no grounds for redress. This changes RRS 62.1(a). 16 PROTESTS AND REQUESTS FOR REDRESS 16.1 RRS 61.1(a) is modified by adding the sentence: A boat intending to protest shall sail along the other side of the race committee boat on the finishing line immediately Page | 7 of 25 16.2 16.3 16.4 16.5 16.6 16.7 16.8 16.9 16.10 16.11 16.12 after finishing, and inform the Race Committee of the boat(s) to be protested until her intention to protest has been acknowledged by the Race Committee. Should circumstances make it impossible to meet this requirement the boat shall report its intent in the regatta office immediately after returning to the harbor. Protest forms are available at the regatta office. Protests shall be delivered there within the Protest time limit. For each class, the protest time limit is 75 minutes after the last boat of her class has finished the last race of the day or the race committee signals no more racing today, whichever is later. For the Optimist class it is the last boat in the last group sailing in the same racing area. The same protest time limit applies to all protests by the Race Committee and the Jury and to requests for redress. Notices will be posted within 20 minutes of the protest time limit to inform competitors of hearings in which they are parties or named as witnesses. Hearings will be held in one of the Jury offices located near the marquee. Notices of protests by the Race Committee or Jury will be posted before the end of the protest time to inform boats under RRS 61.1(b). A list of boats that have been penalized under RRS Appendix P or have been disqualified by the jury will be posted. Breaches of SI 1.6, 7.3, 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25, 28 and 29 will not be grounds for a protest by a boat. This changes RRS 60.1(a). Penalties for these breaches may be less than disqualification if the Jury so decides. This changes RRS 64.1. On the last day of a qualifying series or the last scheduled day of racing a request for reopening a hearing shall be delivered a) within the protest time limit if the party requesting was informed of the decision on the previous day; b) no later than 15 minutes after the party requesting was informed of the decision on that day. This changes RRS 66. On the last day of a qualifying series or the last scheduled day of racing a request for redress from a jury decision shall be delivered no later than 30 minutes after the decision was posted. This changes RRS 62.2. A request for a decision in writing shall be delivered to the Jury Desk within one hour after the decision is given verbally. This changes RRS 65.2. On the last day of a qualifying series or the last scheduled day of racing a request for correction of an alleged error in the posted results shall be delivered to the Regatta Office within the protest time limit or within 60 minutes after posting of the results, if this is later. When the request is not granted, the protest time limit is 60 minutes after the Race Committee’s decision is posted. This changes RRS 62.2. For the Optimist, Optimist Benjamin, Laser Radial Youth, Laser 4.7, Cadet, 29er, Techno 293 and RX:X Youth classes an international jury is appointed. Decisions are final as provided in RRS 70.5. For the Splash and 420 classes a protest committee is appointed. Their decisions are appealable. 17 SCORING 17.1 Four (4) races are required to be completed to constitute a series. 17.2 For the fleets where the series is split into a qualifying series and a final series, SI 17.3.b is applicable separately to the qualifying series and the final series. 17.3 a) When fewer than five (5) races have been completed, a boats series score will be the total of her race scores. b) When five (5) to nine (9) races have been completed, a boats series score will be the total of her race scores excluding her worst score. Page | 8 of 25 17.4 17.5 17.6 17.7 c) When nine (9) to thirteen (13) races have been completed, a boats series score will be the total of her race scores excluding her two (2) worst scores. d) When thirteen (13) or more races have been completed, a boats series score will be the total of her races scores excluding her three (3) worst scores. For the combined Optimist and Optimist Benjamin fleet, the Optimist and the Optimist Benjamins will have their own separate ranking based on the position of each boat in the overall fleet in each race. For RRS 30.2, 44.3, A4.2 and A5, a boat’s penalty score in series shall be based on the number of boats in the largest fleet. This changes RRS A4.2 and A5. To request correction of an alleged error in posted race or series results, a boat shall complete a scoring enquiry form available at the regatta office. The scoring abbreviation for a discretionary penalty imposed under SI 14.3 – 14.7 will be ARB. 18 SAFETY REGULATIONS 18.1 RRS 40 shall apply at all times while afloat for all competitors. Flag Y will not be displayed. This changes RRS 40. 18.2 Each competitor shall check out each day before leaving the harbour. After returning each competitor shall check in before parking his/her boat in the designated area. See also the separate instruction on the notice board. Competitors failing to comply with this instruction will be penalized with a fine to be paid at the regatta office. The amount shall be displayed at the Official Notice board before the first race of the regatta. This penalty shall be applied without a hearing (this changes RRS 63.1 and A5). The sail numbers of the boats so penalized, including the time limit for the payment, will be posted as soon as possible, but 20 minutes after the protest time limit at the latest. 18.3 Any boat that retires from a race shall inform the Race Committee at sea if possible and shall in all cases inform the regatta office as soon as possible. 18.4 Competitors who require assistance should so signify by blowing a whistle or waving the paddle or one arm. The Race Committee reserves the right to assist competitors who, in the opinion of the Committee, require assistance, regardless of the wishes of the competitor. 18.5 When flag W is displayed on any Race Committee boat, all coaches and support boats are permitted to enter the racing area and shall cooperate with the race committee in rescue assistance. 19 EQUIPMENT and REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT 19.1 Each boat shall produce a valid measurement certificate. In addition measurement and checks may be made at registration and may be made on the water. 19.2 All competitors shall use only one hull, (set of) sail(s), mast, boom, sprit (Optimist incl. Benjamin only), fin (boards only), centerboard and rudder, which may be identified during measurement. 19.3 In the event of damage, boats and equipment may only be substituted with the written permission of the Jury. If the damage occurs later than 90 minutes before the first scheduled start on a racing day and before the start of the last race of the day, provisional verbal permission shall be obtained from the Jury or Race Committee and the written permission of the Jury shall be applied for before the protest time limit at the end of the day in which the substitution takes place. Page | 9 of 25 20 EQUIPMENT AND MEASUREMENT CHECKS 20.1 Upon arrival at the venue in Workum competitors shall report to the regatta office with a valid measurement certificate and measurement form, if applicable, for a check on registration and class rules. Other equipment may also be checked. 20.2 Under exceptional circumstances the Race Committee may permit, only upon a written request, a boat to use a sail number other than required by RRS 77 and RRS G. 20.3 A boat, or equipment may be inspected at any time for compliance with the class rules and sailing instructions. On the water, a boat can be instructed by the race committee or a measurer for the event to proceed immediately to a designated area for inspection. 21 OFFICIAL BOATS Official boats will be marked as follows: a) Race Committee boats will fly a flag with “RC”. b) Jury boats will fly a yellow flag marked “JURY”. c) Rescue boats will fly a purple flag marked “RESCUE”. d) Press boats will fly a white flag marked “PRESS” e) Doctor’s boat will fly a IC flag “4”. f) Measurer’s boat will fly a flag with “M”. 22 SUPPORT BOATS 22.1 During the races there shall be no communication between competitors and noncompetitors. After the first warning signal team support and private boats shall stay well clear of the starting, racing and finishing area until the last boat has finished. 22.2 For Racing Area 1 and 2 a waiting area will be laid downwind of the starting line. Two or more skippy balls will be laid in a line. All competitors whose class flags are not shown at the Race Committee Signal boat and all support and private boats shall stay to leeward of the line formed by the skippy balls and its extensions whenever a starting sequence is running. Support boats of competitors already started are allowed to go to the windward mark as long as they stay well clear of the dotted line shown in Appendix 2 and comply with SI 22.5. 22.3 For Racing Area 3 and 4 no team support and private boats are permitted in the starting area between the first warning signal of the first fleet in a race and the valid start of the last fleet of that race. However, when after a general recall or a postponement, flag “W” is displayed (with one sound signal) at the committee signal boat , team support and private boats may enter the starting area until flag “W” is removed (with one sound signal) 22.4 Support boats shall stay at least 100 m away from any boat racing. 22.5 During racing of any fleet, support boats are not allowed inside the area as indicated by the dotted line shown in Appendix 2. 22.6 Support boats shall register at the regatta office before the first race and shall conspicuously show their number during the races. The registration fee is € 20 and shall be paid at registration. Rescue boats that are on the official rescue list provided by each Class Organization shall also register but will not have to pay the fee. 23 TRASH DISPOSAL Trash may be placed aboard support and race committee boats. A penalty for breaking RRS 55 may be less than disqualification if the Jury so decides. This changes RRS 64.1. Page | 10 of 25 24 BERTHING Boats shall be kept in their assigned area in the boat park while ashore. 25 RADIO COMMUNICATION Except in an emergency a boat shall neither make radio transmissions while racing nor receive radio communications not available to all boats.
