Rules: Your best three regatta finishes will
count toward the “CUP”. The three finishes must be in one class, Racing
(spinnaker) or Cruising. The class is determined by your first race declaration
by the yachts skipper. A yacht may later race in another class by declaring so
to the race committee before the start. There results will not count toward the
cup, but will count for individual regatta awards. There will be two throw-outs
and the best three finishes will determine the final score. In the event of a
tie the throw-outs will be counted to determine the tie breaker.
Three yachts in each class must race in order
for the race to count as a Commodore’s Cup qualifier. If three yachts are not
present in the class the race will be only scored for the majority class. The
minority yachts scores will not count for that regatta toward the “CUP” or in
any tiebreaker.
Yachts not racing in a minimum of three
Regattas, results will not count toward the “CUP”. Other yachts results will
move up at the end of the season.
- Entry Fee: There will be a onetime entry fee of
$25.00 to participate in the Commodore’s Cup Series Races. One Registration automatically registers
