We will all observe Corinthian Rules of Sailing.  Penalties are on the honor system.  If you think you may have caused an infraction, you did.  Do a 360 penalty turn and move on.

6) Reminders -
- There are 21 possible points in each race.  The team with 10 points or less wins the race.  For example, if you have a 1st, 4th and 6th you lose.  Help out your team mates!
- Bouy Room Zone for Team Racing is 2 Boat Lengths (not 3)
- Penalty Turns for Team Racing - 360 degrees (not 720)
- Don't hit other boats.

Good Sailing,
