Proposed format for Saturday
The Club will be running half hour races. Production will race for half an hour. Performance will be in the pits ready for dialup which will commence as soon as the last production kart crosses the finish line. Once Performance is finished Production will again start dialup and so on until each class has a combined race time of one and a half hours.
Proposed format for Sunday
A combined fleet of Production and Performance will dialup and race for two and a half hours. As the name suggests this is a teams event there are no weight limits. Production and Performance sailors are competing for their club.
Scoring
No matter if you get line honours or last over the line you have made a contribution to your club's result.
The scoring regime is first place gets 1 point, eighth gets 8 points and so on. The points obtained by a club are then divided by the number of members sailing for the club, so the club with the lowest average points wins the club trophy. A minimum of three sailors constitutes a club team. If there are less than three club members attending the regatta you will be allocated a club by the drawing of a lottery.
Entry Fee
SEQBC is very aware of the cost of fuel and accommodation and have set the entry fee at $25.00 for all financial club members and non-financial (ABA) records $45.00. Entry form will be available at a later date.
