2008 Notice Of Race and Race Documents

2008 Pacific Cup Documents

To play the game, you got to know the rules.

In addition to the Racing Rules of Sailing, our particular race is governed by an additional set of documents, which are made available here, for your convenience.

Notice of Race

NOR Amendment 1: Elimination of white flares. Allowing generators. Check it out .

The official NOR is posted and attached below. We are also pleased to provide you with an interactive web version .

A few facts about the NOR

You are now permitted to eliminate either the storm jib or the heavy weather jib if you choose to.
Twin pole jibs are permitted, if the poles are no longer than JC (rated length)
Emergency steering does not mean, necessarily, a spare rudder. You just need to know how to do it.

The NOR contains numerous references, of course, to the Offshore Special Regulations. USSailing has kindly provided an extract of these regulations for monohull and multihull category 1 races.

For your convenience, we have posted a mash-up of the 2007 Special Regs , the NOR, and other materials in a single document for planning purposes.
