(Event Coordinator - TBD)
This is a new three-afternoon, one-design regatta for 2010. It is designed for all dinghies and small keelboats under 26 feet LOA. The regatta will offer two courses to the West of Shilshole Bay. There will be one-design starts for classes that have five or more boats registered before the deadline.
Fleets are encouraged to invite out of town boats to participate with the hope that this will become a premier travelling event for your fleets. Individual Fleets may modify these sailing instructions to cater to their specific wishes. Fleet Captains shall notify the Race Fleet Captain in writing with such a request no later than 14 days prior to the first race. (E.g., The You Name It Fleet intends to use the Late Days Regatta as their PNW District Championship with Friday as a practice day and Saturday and Sunday comprising the regatta.) These types of revisions will be accommodated as much as possible.
ELIGIBILITY: Laser; I-14; Musto Skiff; Moth; Tasar; 49er; Optimist; Etchells; Star; Thistle; Snipe; Melges 20/SB3; San Juan 24; J/24; Melges 24; Moore 24; Merit 25; Thunderbird and any other one-design dinghy or small keelboat fleets 26 feet LOA and less with five or more registered boats.
CLASS FLAGS/RACE PACKETS: Class flags will be posted at the Shilshole Notice Board at least two hours before the first warning of each event.

CHECK-IN: Each day before the start of racing, the Race Committee would like all boats to check-in with their respective Race Committee by sailing by the Race Committee Boat and hailing their sail number. A boat that withdraws or retires should notify their respective Race Committee in person at their earliest opportunity.
FIRST WARNING: First warning on Friday at 1730, Saturday at 1200 and Sunday at 1000. Subsequent races will be started at the discretion of the Race Committee. No warning signal will be made after 2000 on Friday and Saturday and after 1430 on Sunday.

GATE AT LEEWARD MARK: If Flag “G” is displayed at the warning for a class, there will be a gate (two marks) instead of a single leeward mark for that class, and boats shall pass between the two gate marks and then round either the port gate mark to port or the starboard gate mark to starboard.
