Teams competing in the McIntyre this weekend,

A few updates:

Parking:
Please follow parking signs at the boathouse as parking has changed since last year. Please do not park in the Marine Science center just past our lot. Parking is available in Informatica just to the left of our building. There will be no parking in the circle lot close to the water however. There will be signs out showing you the way.

Trash:
Please police yourselves the bet you can! We will have trash cans out as well as recycling for water bottles. Please do not overflow the trash cans just ask a Stanford sailor or coach and we will empty the trash can. No need for trash art sculptures to form next to the trash can.

Umpires:

We will be using a different system this year. This is a system that ICSA is considering so this will be a test case. Please give feed back to the umpires and stanford coaches at the end so we can pass it on. Here is the system as it is written in the SI's.

1.2           Rule D2.2(a) is deleted and replaced by the following:

 (a) SINGLE-FLAG PROTEST PROCEDURE

When a boat protests under a rule of Part 2 or under rule 31, 42 or 44, she is not entitled to a hearing. Instead, a boat involved in the incident may promptly acknowledge breaking a rule and take the appropriate penalty. If the protested boat takes a penalty, the incident is closed. If not, an umpire shall decide whether any boat has broken a rule and shall signal a decision in compliance with rule D2.2(b).

1.3            Rule D2.3(b) shall apply. PR 25(a) shall not apply.

1.4 A competitor protesting under a rule listed in D2.2(a) shall consciously display a raised open hand at the time of the protest.

1.5 All races shall be umpired unless the race committee indicates otherwise.


For college sailing, since we don't use flags, SI 1.4 allows the use of a raised open hand to alert the umpires there is an umpire event. Rule D2.3(b) is preserved (the option to fly a yellow flag if the umpire has insufficient facts to decide).

Boats:

We will use Both fj's and 420's for the round robins. 420's will be used for the final rounds and FJ's will be used for consolation rounds.

See you all in the morning!

John
