It’s better in 3D
JH Peterson photo
Just because a sail looks like a 3DL® sail doesn’t mean it will perform like one. North 3DL sails are 3-dimensionally thermo-formed on a full-sized mold in the precise flying shape they will assume when sailing. ALL other sails are assembled using 2-dimensional segments to emulate a 3D form. The fact is... 3D is more precise, more repeatable and more efficient than 2D. Put the proven power of North on your boat... contact your North Sails representative today. To learn more about 3DL thermo-molded sails and the 3D vs. 2D difference, visit www.northsails.com/3DL.aspx

THE START
10.1 Races will be started by using Rule 26. 10.1.1 The timing of the warning signal for those classes following the first class to start will vary by division depending on the number of classes in the division, wind conditions, the sailing characteristics of the boats racing and/or the need to adjust the starting line. The race committee will attempt to broadcast its intentions over the designated VHF channel. 10.1.2 An inflatable buoy may be tethered to the stern of the committee boat(s). Any boat touching this buoy will have broken rule 31 and shall act in accordance with rule 44.1. 10.1.3 The Starting Area will extend 300 feet perpendicularly (to windward and leeward) from the starting line and radially from its ends. Boats whose preparatory signal has not been made shall stand clear of the starting area and of all boats whose preparatory signal has been made. Boats which fail to abide by these restrictions may be subject to protest by the race committee only. 10.2 The starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag on the starboard end signal boat and a staff displaying an orange flag on the port end line boat.
11
RECALLS
11.1 The race committee will attempt to identify recalled boats by broadcast over the designated VHF channel. Failure of a boat to see or hear her recall notification and the timing and order of such hails will not be grounds for redress. 11.2 For those classes with bow numbers, the race committee will attempt to hail each boat by her bow number.
12
CHANGING THE NEXT LEG OF THE COURSE
12.1 Rule 33 is amended by adding the following: 12.1.1 A signal board with the letters for the classes for which the change of course applies will be used. If the change is for the windward leg, the new mark will be a yellow inflatable tetrahedron for the first change unless the first change is for the final leg. When subsequent changes of course are signaled, the yellow and orange marks will be alternated. If the change is for a leeward leg, the original gate marks will be moved into the new position, unless the change is for the final leg. 12.1.2 A course change for the final leg of a race will be signaled by a race committee boat in the vicinity of the last rounding mark(s). It will display code flags C over Q, and a signal board with the direction and/or leg length change to the finish line and make repetitive sounds. This signal (C over Q) applies only to boats sailing their final (finishing) leg. The change will be signaled before the leading boat of a class has begun the leg, although the finishing line may not yet be in position. 12.2 The race committee will attempt to broadcast any course changes over the appropriate VHF channel.
13
THE FINISH
13.1 For downwind finishes, the finishing line will be on
Sailing Instructions and Program
the opposite side of signal boat from the starting line. The finishing line will be either between a staff displaying an orange flag on the finishing line boat and a nearby tetrahedron or between a staff displaying an orange flag on the finishing line boat and a staff displaying an orange flag on a nearby race committee boat. 13.2 For windward finishes, the finishing line will be either between a staff displaying an orange flag on the finishing line boat and a nearby tetrahedron or between a staff displaying an orange flag on the finishing line boat and a staff displaying an orange flag on a nearby committee boat. The finishing line will be located approximately 600 feet beyond the weather-most windward mark. 13.3 In the interest of starting another race in a timely fashion on multiple-race days, the race committee may assign a finish position to the last finisher(s) in a division provided that the position(s) can be determined in a reasonable manner.
14
PENALTY SYSTEMS
14.1.1 For all classes, a boat that may have broken a rule of Part 2 while racing may take a penalty by either: 14.1.1(a) Accepting a 20% Scoring Penalty in accordance with rule 44.3. The 20% Scoring Penalty shall be not less than 2 places. All boats that have taken a Scoring Penalty in accordance with rule 44.3 shall submit a written declaration on a form at the jury desk prior to the end of protest time. Submitting a written declaration within the protest time limit shall satisfy the requirement of rule 44.3(b) to inform the race committee at the finishing line. However, if a boat breaks a rule of Part 2 within the three hull length zone of any rounding or finishing marks, rule 44.3, Scoring Penalty, shall not apply. This changes rule 44.3(b), Scoring Penalty or: 14.1.1(b) By taking a One-Turn Penalty including one tack and one gybe that, in all other respects, complies with rule 44.2. This changes rule 44.1. However, if a boat breaks a rule of Part 2 within the three hull length zone of any rounding or finishing marks her penalty shall be a Two-Turns Penalty in compliance with rule 44.2. 14.2 Rule 44.1 is modified to allow a boat to take an Arbitration Penalty for a breach of a rule of Part 2 after the incident but prior to the protest hearing by acknowledging the breach before arbitration or by accepting the opinion of an arbitrator. This Scoring Penalty shall be 40% of the number of boats entered as calculated in rule 44.3 (c) but shall not be less than four places. 14.3 If a breach of Class Rules is found in a One Design, PHRF or IRC class, penalties shall be at the discretion of the jury, in consultation with the Class Management Group or a non-competing Class Representative.
15
PROTESTS
15.1 A boat intending to protest is requested to notify the finishing line boat of its intention and the identity of the protested boat(s) as soon as possible after finishing. Continued on page 22.

16.3 A boat that accepts the arbitrator’s opinion that she broke a rule of Part 2 shall receive a penalty score of 40% as detailed in sailing instruction 14.2. 16.4 The acceptance of an arbitrator’s opinion cannot be grounds for redress or be appealed. 16.5 The arbitrator will not be a member of the jury that hears the protest but will be permitted to observe the testimony given to the jury and offer testimony. This changes rule 63.3(a).

For the Melges 32 and Melges 24 classes, a boat’s worst score will be excluded from her series score if seven or more races have been completed subject to rule 90.3(b). 17.2 Handicap scoring will be performed as follows: 17.2.1 PHRF classes will be scored using the handicaps provided by the Event PHRF Consortium. The actual course distances will be used. 17.2.2 IRC Classes will be scored using IRC Time Correction Factor using time on time scoring. 17.2.3 The last sentence of rule A3 is replaced with, “However, a boat’s finish position in PHRF will be determined by her corrected time calculated in seconds to two decimal places.” 17.2.4 The 20’ Sportboat class will be scored using the Sportboat Time Correction Number using time-on-time scoring.
18
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

The Science of Seamless Hall Spars & Rigging builds seamless carbon-fiber spars. Our spars are mandrel-molded and autoclave-cured to create the lightest, strongest, stiffest, and most aerodynamic mast.
We invite you to visit our factory to experience the Hall seamless process firsthand.
Hall Masts Engineered to Perform
Hall engineers start with Finite Element Analysis, creating laminates with precise bend characteristics. Hall’s ability to apply stiffening at any location on the mast elevates optimal tuning and performance.
Hall ensures structural integrity and consistent aerodynamics through the application of 90-degree layers of carbon. These layers wrap continuously around the circumference of the mast.
Hall Spars & Rigging 33 Broadcommon Road Bristol, RI 02809
No filler, no screws. A Hall mast presents a beautifully smooth and consistent surface. All structural carbon is unidirectional, pre-preg carbon. Hall’s application of unidirectional carbon fiber under tension turns our complex strength and bending performance predictions into reality.
Continuous “off-axis” layers are applied in alternating directions. These layers control twist and add compression and bending strength.
Each layer is carefully compacted prior to curing in the autoclave. This ensures a smooth, wrinkle-free, virtually void-free laminate.
