VICE COMMODORE’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the 2016 - 2017 Dinah Beach Cruising Yacht Association Wet Season Race Series.

The season promises challenging courses, competitive races and above all, a Sunday afternoon full of fun for our skippers, members and crew. Getting out on our magnificent Darwin Harbour and enjoying the pastime we love so much is what it’s all about.

The incredible support of our sponsors makes this event happen each year. We could not do it without them. So, a big welcome to our first-time sponsors and a sincere thank you to our supporters who partner with us each year. Please take the time to acknowledge and thank them for their support any time you see them at the Club or frequent their businesses.

Volunteers are also very important to the race day happening and running so smoothly. So thank you to our volunteers. We’re always keen for additional support so if you’re available to help out on race day in any capacity, please let us know.

And after all the fun, all the action, latest news, photos and results will be

posted on our website. You’ll also find handy tide times and current weather information on the home page.

I would like to thank our General Manger Wendy for her continued support and particularly her assistance with compiling the race book and securing and coordinating sponsors and also to Ray Jarrett who will manage the start trailer.

I would especially like to thank the racing community for supporting this series and getting involved and welcome those skippers and vessels who are joining in for the first time. I look forward to meeting you all throughout the season and wish you all happy sailing.

$1500 PRIZE DRAW EACH RACE

One lucky skipper will win $1500 worth of Raymarine equipment of their choice at each of the nine individual races.

To be eligible, a skipper needs to:

a) complete the race that day

b) be present at the race presentation (7pm at the Clubhouse) when it is drawn

c) Not have already won the $1500 prize draw in any previous 2016/17 wet season race

Here’s how it works

$6500 MEGA PRESENTATION NIGHT

PRIZE DRAW01 April 2017

One very happy skipper is going to take home $6500 worth of Raymarine equipment of their choice to deck out their vessel.

To be eligible, a skipper needs to have completed six or more races in the 2016/17 Wet Season Race Series and the skipper must be present on Presentation Night, when it is drawn.

The Race Committee shall have the discretion to deem a yacht to have completed the course in the case of trying conditions only for the purpose of the Raymarine prize draw. Should a race be abandoned this will count as a completed race for all starters.

This prize draw replaces the traditional spinnaker prize draw.

All prize winners are selected by lucky draw. All prizes for the season will be ordered after the Wet Season Race Series Presentation Night, with anticipated delivery late April.

EQUIPMENT PRIZES TO BE WON

1. This Series shall be sailed under the International Regulations for Prevention of Collision at Sea and By-Laws of the Darwin Port Authority.Especially PORT BY-LAW: Vessels under 20m must give way to all commercial vessels within port limits (being Charles Point to Lee Point via Buoys at No. 5).

9. If using engine to approach Start Line, vessel MUST complete a 360o after stopping the engine, BEFORE proceeding to sail across Start Line at the beginning of the Race. This action is to be relayed to the OOD at the first opportunity by Radio.Should any vessel have to use its motor for propulsion during a race for any reason whatsoever the skipper will advise Race Control at the earliest opportunity by VHF or mobile phone, why the motor was used and for how long.The Committee will determine if any time penalty is applicable prior to the results being posted.

10. It is the skipper’s responsibility to notify the Harbour Master (or Duty Officer) on VHF 10 or phone 8999 3974 if any Buoy or Mark has suffered damage as the result of a collision.

Should the skipper decide to stay in the race he/she will completely round the Buoy as per the race course instructions for that event.

PREVENTION OF COLLISION AT SEA

Rule 11 – ApplicationRules in this section apply to vessels in sight of one another

Rule 12 – Sailing vessels(a) When two sailing vessels are

approaching one another, so as to involve risk of collision, one of them shall keep out of the way of the other as follows:(i) When each has the wind on a

different side, the vessel which has the wind on the port side shall keep out of the way of the other

(ii) When both have the wind on the same side, the vessel which is to

Extract from “Collision Regulations” is reproduced from the Small Ships Manual with kind permission of Queensland Marine Safety Branch.

This Series shall be generally sailed under the International Regulations for Prevention of Collision at Sea AND By-Laws of the Darwin Port Authority.Please note the PORT BY-LAW that states Vessels under 20m must give way to all commercial vessels within port limits (being Charles Point to Lee Point via Buoys at No 5).

Section II – Conduct of vessels in sight of one another

windward shall keep out of the way of the vessel which is to leeward

(iii) If the vessel with the wind on the port side sees a vessel to windward and cannot determine with certainty whether the other vessel has the wind on the port or on the starboard side, she shall keep out of the way of the other.

(b) For the purposes of this rule, the wind- ward side shall be deemed to be the side opposite to that which the mainsail is carried or, in case of a square rigged vessel, the side opposite to that which the largest fore-and-aft sail is carried.

25

Rule 13 – Overtaking(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the rules of

Part B, Sections 1 and 11, any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken.

(b) A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than 22.5° abaft its beam, that is, in such a position with reference to the vessel, she is overtaking, that at night she would be able to see the stern light of that vessel but neither of its sidelights.

(c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall assume that this is the case and act accordingly.

(d) Any subsequent alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these rules, or relieve it of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear.

Rule 14 – Head-on situation(a) When two power-driven vessels are meeting on

reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter its course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other.

(b) Such a situation shall be deemed to exist when a vessel sees the other ahead or nearly ahead, and by night she could see the masthead lights of the other in a line or nearly in line and/or the corresponding aspect of the other vessel.

(c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether such a situation exists she shall assume that it does not exist and act accordingly.

Rule 15 – Crossing situation(a) When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as

to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on its starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.

Rule 16 – Action by give-way vesselEvery vessel which is directed to keep out of the way

of another vessel shall, so far as possible, take early and substantial action to keep well clear.

Figure 84.1:Rule 13 - Overtaking

Figure 84.2:Rule 14 - Head on

PREVENTION OF COLLISION AT SEA

Rule 17 – Action by stand-on vessel(a) (i) Where one of the two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep

its course and speed.(ii) The latter vessel may however take action to avoid a collision by its manoeuvre

alone, as soon as it becomes apparent to it that the vessel required to keep out of the way is not taking appropriate action in compliance with these rules.

(b) When, from any cause, the vessel required to keep its course and speed finds itself so close that collision cannot be avoided by the action of the give way vessel alone, she shall take such action as will best aid to avoid collision.

(c) A power-driven vessel which takes action in a crossing situation in accordance with subparagraph (a)(ii) of this rule to avoid collision with another power-driven vessel shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, not alter course to port for a vessel on its own port side.

(d) This rule does not relieve the give-way vessel of its obligation to keep out of the way.
