NRSC Notes to the 2024 Sailing Programme

This year the “The Brass Monkey”, a winter event will be sailed in May and sailed on Sundays.

As usual the RYSN handicap, Norris Cup, Brass Monkey and Nile Rd Trophy will consist of four series with the best three to count.

Each Trophy race day will consist of a maximum of 8 races. With one discard after 4 races, and a second after 8 races.

Most series races do not clash with public holidays.

Wednesday wine races shall consist of three handicap races round the buoys, three scratch races round the buoys, and a scratch and a handicap Ocean Race.

Monaco sailing will be on an ad hoc basis when tides allow.

A minimum of two people can sail at Best is or Nile Rd at any time for casual sailing as long as the Health and Safety policy is adhered to. 

Wednesdays are more regular and designed for the more casual sailor to enjoy

social “fun sailing days”

Race Officers and Assistant Race Officers will have the average score for the event they control credited to their points for the series.

Race Officers are to arrange a substitute if they can’t attend.

DF 65’s.  We have scheduled a number of events for this class and it may need modification.  Peter O’Hanlon is the “go to “guy for this class.

We will do our best to accommodate other classes within this framework

There is a list of Boat Drivers with the Aug to Dec schedule, and they can be nominated on the day for the Wednesday social days.

For trophy days the boat drivers will be allocated average points for that day’s racing.
