Annapolis Race Week is Going Green

by Bill Wagner

Organizers with the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association (CBYRA) have partnered with Sailors for the Sea and Waste Strategies to make

the 45th edition of Annapolis Race Week more environmentally friendly.

“We need to be more responsible as an organization in terms of making sure sailing regattas are conducted in ways that make the least impact on the environment,” says Karen Masci, president of CBYRA. “Our goal is to show yacht clubs up and down the Chesapeake Bay that it can be done.”

Sailors for the Sea, based in Newport, RI, is an organization dedicated to educating and engaging the boating community with regard to the worldwide protection of the oceans. Sailors by the Sea has developed a Clean Regattas Program that lists 19 best practices for reducing sailboat racers’ impact on our oceans and coastal waters.

CBYRA, which always conducts its signature event over Labor Day weekend, has instituted numerous changes in the hopes of achieving bronze level status with the Clean Regattas Program. One of the most notable initiatives is water bottle reduction as that is No. 1 on the Sailors for the Sea checklist. CBYRA came up with a creative way to encourage sailors to use less bottled water. All daily awards for top placers will be stainless steel water containers. The overall trophies will be crystal wine glasses that are also sustainable and recyclable.

“We’re hoping crews use and reuse the daily awards for their drinking water while it also sends a strong message that disposing large amounts of plastic water bottles is harmful,” Masci says.

CBYRA has partnered with Waste Strategies to improve the manner in which trash is disposed

during the post-race parties. Numerous recycling receptacles that are divided by plastic, paper, and such will be on-site. There will be no general trash cans, so sailors will need to be careful to make sure they dispose of cups, napkins, and the like properly.

Last year, CBYRA moved Race Week headquarters from the Annapolis YC (AYC) annex to Susan C. Campbell Park at City Dock. The increased visibility benefitted both the regatta and the city while opening Annapolis Race Week to the general public. “Non-sailors thought it was fabulous. They were mingling

with sailors at the party and learning more about our sport,” Masci says. “Having our event at City Dock really was a huge success and we hope to build on it this year.”

The National Sailing Center and Hall of Fame (NSHOF), located adjacent to Susan C. Campbell Park, lends its building and docks to CBYRA for Race Week. Lee Tawney, executive director of the NSHOF, fully supports the idea of having the regatta headquarters at City Dock. “It’s all about bringing sailing to the general public. If sailing remains tucked away in corners, it will continue to wither,” Tawney says. “I applaud CBYRA for

Sailing Instructions and Information6 Annapolis Race Week 2011

Race weektaking this step because it truly is a great way to introduce our sport to the masses.”

In order to further promote getting people out on the water, Tawney has arranged for the U.S. Sailing Road Show to be on-site throughout the weekend. That program features two recent college graduates—Will Ricketson (Westford, MA) and Brooke Thomson (Newport Beach, CA)—traveling around the country to promote the overall enjoyment and accessibility of sailing. Ricketson and Thomson, both of whom were collegiate competitors, will be offering

crab cakes, beef brisket, Portobello mushroom burgers, and more.

CBYRA has partnered with the “Summers at City Dock” program to create a festival atmosphere for Annapolis Race Week. Activities being offered include live music, face-painting, and street performers. Two of the Annapolis area’s most popular bands—Bobby and the Believers and Mama Jama—will perform on Sunday evening. Regatta organizers are emphasizing that the Annapolis Race Week parties are open to the public free of charge.

Coral Reef Sailing Apparel is serving as exclusive provider of event clothing. Coral Reef, which is a licensed provider of Gill sailing wear, will have fleece jackets, T-shirts, polo shirts, shorts, and hats that are all embroidered with the Annapolis Race Week logo.

Ultimately, the overwhelming success and popularity of Annapolis Race Week is the result of what happens on the water. Three days of action-packed racing on four different racing circles that are professionally managed by area yacht clubs make for an enjoyable weekend of sailing.

“Over the course of three days you tend to get a variety of conditions, so it makes for a very good test of crew work and tactics,” says Tom Walsh, who has teamed with partner John Potvin to capture Catalina 27 class honors six times, including last year, at Annapolis Race Week. “I like the fact there are four different courses because it spreads the boats out.”

Veteran AYC race official Bobby Frey will serve as on-water chairman of Annapolis Race Week for the sixth straight year. Frey expects the regatta to attract between 165 and 175 boats for the third straight year and is anticipating at least 16 classes. At press time, CBYRA was planning for six PHRF classes (A0, A1, A2, B, C and N) along with nine one-design classes (Farr 40, J/35, J/105, Farr 30, J/80, J/30, J/24 and Cal 25) Organizers were hopeful to have a Sport Boat class, but at print time, there were too few entries to form one.

CBYRA has teamed with Gibson Island Yacht Squadron (GIYS) to offer a new trophy for combined performance in the Cedar Point Race and Annapolis Race Week. Boats that enter both events will be eligible for the new perpetual award.

Racing circles will be run by AYC (with Chip Thayer as PRO), Eastport YC (Bill Adams) and Severn SA (Ron Rostofer). GIYS (Greg Cukor) will oversee the distance race. Rick Crabbe will serve as

demonstrations and free rides aboard Laser and Bic sailboats.

Also, North Point Yacht Sales will berth two of its J/111s at City Dock throughout the weekend. Those cruiser-racers will be competing in Annapolis Race Week, and members of the public are encouraged to check out the boats and talk to the sailors.

Sailors will once again be thrilled with the post-race parties, which will feature Gosling’s Rum drinks and beer provided by Katcef Brothers. Concessions will be provided by The Main Ingredient, which will be serving delicious

16.3 The starting area is defined as extending 100 yards beyond each end of the starting line and 150 yards behind the line and its extensions. Boats not involved in a starting sequence and not racing, shall keep clear of the starting area and those boats preparing to start. Boats failing to keep clear of this area will be subject to protest by the Race Committee.

16.4 A Race Committee boat that is also a starting mark may set a limit mark that shall be passed on the same side as the Race Committee boat. A boat shall not touch either the limit mark or the Race Committee boat or pass between them. For the purposes of RRS 31 (Touching a Mark) and RRS 28.1 (Sailing the Course), the limit mark and the Race Committee boat shall be considered to be a single starting mark. This instruction does not modify any other requirements of RRS 31 or RRS 28.

17 Individual Recall 17.1 The Race Committee may attempt

to notify boats identified as OCS by announcing the boat’s sail number over VHF radio. Such announcements

are made as a courtesy and, as such the following will not be grounds for redress:

(a) Failure of the Race Committee to broadcast sail numbers.

(b) Failure of a boat to receive the recall broadcast

(c) A boat’s position in the sequence of broadcasted numbers

(d) Promptness of the broadcast. This changes RRS 62.1. 17.2 The VHF broadcast channels are as

listed in SI 29.

18 General Recalls 18.1 Will be signaled in accordance with RRS

29.2. 18.2 If the warning signal for a subsequent

class has been displayed, it will be removed. The starting sequence of that class will begin again following the recalled class start.

19 Course Change

After the Start 19.1 RRS 33 (Changing the Position of

the Next Mark) and Race Signals are changed by adding “When Signal Flag ‘C’ is flown over code flag ‘Q’, the change will apply only to the last leg of the course.”

19.2 The first changed mark will either be of a different color, shape or configuration


Race week

(with or without a dark band attached). Subsequent course changes of that mark will alternate between the original configuration and the changed mark configuration. The competitor packet (see SI 8.2) will provide descriptions of the change mark for each Fleet.

20 Finish Line 20.1 The finish line will be between a blue

flag on a Race Committee boat and a nearby mark.

20.2 For all classes except PHRF-N and Corinthian, the finish mark will be located:

20.3 Upwind of the windward mark for Courses “3” or “5” or “5X”.

20.4 Downwind of the leeward mark (or leeward gate) for Courses “4” or “4X” on the opposite side of the Race Committee boat from the starting line (see diagram for SI 13).

20.5 A boat shall take its own finishing time and record any boat finishing directly ahead and directly astern and shall give this information to the Race Committee if requested.

20.6 For PHRN-N and Corinthian the finish line will be between a mark of the course and the blue flag displayed on the nearby Race Committee boat.

21 Withdrawal A boat that retires from a race or does not intend to start a scheduled race shall promptly inform the Race Committee by hail or on the appropriate Fleet radio channel prior to leaving the racing area. If this is not possible, the boat shall promptly report their action to race headquarters at the National Sailing Hall of Fame building next to Susan C Campbell Park also known as Annapolis City Dock.

22 Race Time Limit 22.1 Except for PHRF N and Corinthian, a

race in which no boat has finished 2 1/2 hours after its start will be abandoned for that class.

22.2 Except for PHRF N and Corinthian , any boat not finishing within 45 minutes of the finish of the first boat in her class will be scored TLE (time limit expired) See SI 26. This changes RRS 35.

22.3 For PHRF N and Corinthian only any boat not finished by 1630 on Saturday and Sunday and 1530 on Monday will be scored TLE. This changes RRS 35.

23 Penalty System 23.1 The Turns Penalties of RRS 44.1 shall

apply.23.2 RRS 44.1 is changed by adding: ”A

boat breaking a rule of RRS Part 2 or RRS 31 may take a penalty after the incident and prior to the start of a protest hearing by taking a 40% Scoring Penalty as calculated in SI 26 .1 d.”

24 Protests &

Redress Requests 24.1 Rule 61.1(a) is changed by adding: “A

boat displaying red flag and intending to protest shall inform the race committee signal boat as soon as possible after finishing by hail or VHF call on the Fleets courtesy broadcast channel identified in SI 29 until acknowledged. The hail shall include the sail number or boat name of the protested boat.”

24.2 Protests shall be filed with the Protest Committee at the National Sailing Hall of Fame building next to Susan C Campbell Park also known as Annapolis City Dock before the protest time limit. The protest time limit is 60 minutes after the Race Committee signal boat docks for the respective fleet. Protest forms are available at the Protest Committee secretary’s desk.

24.3 A list of protest notifications received by the Protest Committee will be posted on the notice board at Susan C Campbell Park also known as Annapolis City Dock as soon as possible, and not later than 30 minutes after the end of the protest time limit for that fleet.

24.4 On the last day of the regatta, RRS 62.2 and 66 are changed such that a request for reopening a hearing or a request for redress based on an action or omission of the Protest Committee shall be delivered:

(a) Within the protest time limit if the requesting party was informed of the decision the previous day.

(b) No later than 30 minutes after the requesting party was informed of the decision on that day.

(c) No later than 60 minutes after a signal to abandon racing is displayed ashore.

25 Arbitration 25.1 An arbitration meeting will be

scheduled for each protest involving a rule of Part 2 or Rule 31 unless the arbitrator deems the protest inappropriate for arbitration. One representative of each boat, who was on board at the time of the incident, will meet with the arbitrator. No witnesses will be permitted. After taking testimony from each representative, the

arbitrator will render an opinion: (a) The protest is invalid or no boat

broke a rule. If the protestor agrees, the arbitrator will allow the protest to be withdrawn. If the protestor disagrees, the protest committee will schedule a protest hearing.

(b) One or both boats broke a rule. The boat(s) breaking a rule may accept a 40% scoring penalty and the arbitrator will allow the protest to be withdrawn. If not, the Protest Committee will schedule a protest hearing.

(c) The arbitrator decides a protest hearing is required. The Protest Committee will schedule a protest hearing.

25.2 RRS 63.1 is changed by adding, “The arbitrator may act on behalf of the Protest Committee and allow a protest to be withdrawn without the approval of the Protest Committee.”

25.3 The acceptance of the findings and penalties of the arbitrator are final and there shall be no appeal or request to reopen the meeting.

26 Scoring 26.1 The Low-Point Scoring System, RRS

Appendix A4 will apply, except as changed as follows:

(a) There will be no throw-out race. (b) One race will constitute a series. (c) The Race Committee, without a

hearing, will assign boats scored TLE (time limit expired) points equal to the number of boats in their class finishing within the time limit plus 2 points, except that they will not be scored worse than the number of boats entered in that class. (This changes RRS 35, RRS A4.1, RRS A4.2 and RRS A5.).

(d) RRS 44.3(c) is replaced by: “The boat’s penalty score shall be her race score prior to applying the penalty made worse by the whole number (rounding 0.5 upward) nearest to 40% of the number of boats entered in her class, but no worse than Did Not Finish. The scores of other boats shall not be changed; therefore, two boats may receive the same score.”

27 Awards 27.1 Daily race awards will be presented

each night at the social event at race week headquarters.

27.2 Overall awards for each class in Fleet 1, 2 and 3 for the series will be presented on Monday night.

27.3 Daily and overall trophies will be awarded based on the criteria of:

(a) 1st and 2nd place trophy for 7 entrants in a class.

(b) 3rd place trophy for 10 entrants in a class.

(c) 4th place trophy for 16 entrants in a class.
