| The following are a set of simplified rules, used for
sailing competitions within the
Lilydale Radio Yacht Club Inc. The rules
are based upon club principles and should be adhered to. |
| |
- Consideration and friendliness shall be shown to fellow members
and other users of the Lilydale Lake.
- Members shall abide by all laws, by-laws, club rules and park
regulations.
- Members shall be financial at all times.
- Members shall display their allocated radio frequency whenever
their transmitter is on.
- Where circumstances prevent unique frequencies for all attendees,
those using a duplicated frequency must limit their use to a half
hour, or if racing, enough time to complete the race and return
their craft immediately to shore in order for everyone to have
a go.
|
| |
| A.1 - Avoid collisions. |
| A.2 - Sail the course and round all
marks, if you fail to round a mark have a second attempt, if you fail
a second time you can continue to the next mark. |
| A.3 - Touching a mark of the course
does not incur a penalty unless the mark is substantially relocated
in which case the offending boat shall retire. |
| |
| |
| B.1 - Port tack boats keep clear of
starboard tack boats. |
| B.2 - Windward boats keep clear of
leeward boats. |
| B.3 - The boat astern keeps clear of
the boat ahead. |
| B.4 - A boat tacking or gybing keeps
clear of one that is not. |
| B.5 - Give room to (all) the inside
boat(s) to round the mark. |
| |
| |
| C.1 - A boat that is not racing keeps
clear of all boats racing, boats that have finished racing shall clear
the finish line. |
| C.2 - First two finishers should, as
soon as possible, land their boat, beyond the finish line and assist
the timekeeper as needed. |
| C.3 - If a collision results in damage
to a boat, both boats involved in the collision shall retire. |
| |
Purists may not approve of the simplified
rules; protests are not fun and we want to have fun. |
