2010 CYC RACING POLICIES

CYC Membership Status: There are several classes of CYC Members.

Please visit www.cycseattle.org/membership for more information.

CYC Race Packages: Purchasing a Race Package permits a specific boat to participate in a distinct group of CYC race events at a substantial discount as compared to the already discounted member rate for the individual events. Only CYC Senior Members, their spouses, their children under the age of 21, and CYC Junior or Intermediate Members are eligible to purchase Race Packages. Substitutions may not be made to package contents. If you are not a member of US Sailing, add 10% to the package fee. (In order to encourage participation and manage class breaks, package registrants will be contacted prior to each regatta or series to confirm participation.)

CYC Guest Policy:

PHRF Rating: A boat is considered to have a valid PHRF rating only if current PHRF dues have been paid. You can get a valid PHRF rating or check your status by calling PHRF Northwest at (253) 857-8858 or on the web at http://www.phrf-nw.org/.

Minimum number of boats registered: If fewer than 10 keelboats or 15 dinghies register for a race by the race deadline, the race may be cancelled and the entry fees refunded.

Late registrations: Please register by the stated deadlines. This allows our staff to organize scoring and generate class breaks efficiently. The more time it takes to manage races, the more expensive it gets. Late registrations may be accepted, but a late fee of $25 will be charged in addition to the fee listed for the event.

Boats not registered: Boats that race in CYC evening events and are not registered by the second evening of racing may not be scored and may subject their fleet to a lost start on the next evening's race.

Exceptions: The CYC Fleet Captain-Race or, in his/her absence, the Race Manager or Commodore may make exceptions to these policies.

Shilshole Bay Guest Moorage: Boats seeking guest moorage for CYC Regattas must contact the Shilshole Bay Marina office upon arrival in the marina to receive instructions. The boater can contact the office by phone at (206) 728-3006 during office hours (M-F 8:00- 4:30 or Saturday 8-3) or on VHF Channel 17. After hours phone is (206) 601-4089. Guest moorage fees are based on LOA. Reserving slips in advance of arrival is encouraged.
