Racing for Season 2019-2020 will be conducted under the Racing Rules of Sailing 2017-2021. The RRS and Australian Sailing Special Regulations are on the Club website at cycsa.com.au/racingdocuments.html
Entry for ALL Series and Regattas will be via the Clubs Topyacht entry page. We also encourage all owners to upload through Topyacht other documentation required for racing. Insurance certificates in particular. A daily feed from the IRC office and AMS office will mean, that if your rating certificates are up to date, you will not be required to provide them separately to the Boating Office. You must simply send an email saying that there is a change, we can do the rest. Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia Season Briefing 2019 - 20
Reminder
2.5 Club Equipment Auditors All boats shall submit current copies of their signed Safety Regulation Equipment Compliance Audit form (category safety form) for each race category entered including endorsement by a Club Equipment Auditor, applicable rating certificate(s), and insurance certificate to the Boating Office prior to racing in any series or race. Failure to do so will result in a boat being scored DNC until all required documentation is lodged. This means that not only do you have to fill out the Safety Category form (on the Racing Documents web page or via Yachtsafe), but you must also have an audit completed by one of the Club’s qualified Equipment Auditors. The Yachtsafe system is available again to assist owners to log all Safety Category requirements and set up an appointment to have the audit completed. Please also read the Yachtsafe Users Guide and Preparing for a Safety Audit advice on the Racing Documents page.

Changes to Sailing Instructions
2.7 Casual Entries Casual entries shall be made online at the Clubs website Entries page and not paid on the day at the Boating Office
2.9 Crew Eligibility to Race The SailPass Membership system through Australian Sailing is now operating on line. This will now be used to register, and when required, pay for crew using SailPass. Important Changes: There will be a Twilight SailPass, at zero cost for all Twilight Races through summer. However Australian Sailing have prescribed that ALL organized racing requires each non AS member to be registered on that day for Twilight Racing. There will be a Race Day Sailpass in the same terms as previous years for all other organized racing. The key difference is that a person can register and pay on line without coming to the office to do a manual transaction. Registration point is at http://www.cycsa.com.au/racingdocuments.html then click on SailPass Entry Point

Sail Numbers You must notify the Boating Office of any changes to sail numbers, especially where there is a conflict between the number on the spinnaker/headsail and mainsail. 10.3 requires that changes to sail numbers are to be fixed within one month.

Navigation Lights Skippers should ensure that navigation lights are fitted and displayed in accordance with International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea when sailing after sunset or before sunrise.
