The Championship Series

The Championship series runs through the entire year with the exception of December and January.

Points are accumulated from both the Yardstick and Performance Handicap System, PHS, results from all Winter (May to August inc.) and Summer races (September to November inc. and February to March inc). Twilight races and the special races, Club, Marathon, Stern Chaser, Parks Victoria Trophy and the Commodore's Cup, are excluded from the points tally.

The Championship Series is an open series meaning that that there are no Divisions. All boats from all classes and across all abilities are included.

In a typical year there are over 35 completed races that make up the Championship Series. More than 60 boats are generally involved. Competitors must sail more than half the races to be eligible for the Club Champion award. It is the Yardstick result that is used to calculate the winner.

So the Championship is scored like one big regatta lasting 10 Months. The winner, the Club Champion, needs to not only sail many races but also must be a consistent top performer.
