| The Smyrna Yacht Club provides a fleet of four Precision 15
sailboats for the enjoyment of all members. The fleet
is administered and maintained by the SYC Sailors. Members
of SYC may join the SYC Sailors for a one time fee of $100.
Members and their families are eligible to learn to sail,
and become certified in the Precision 15's. Certified skippers may use
the boats when available. Precision 15 races are also held during the racing season.
Even inexperienced sailors can volunteer to crew with a
certified skipper. See the 2008 Notice of Race below.

NOTICE OF RACE
2008 PRECISION 15 SERIES
The SYC Sailors will
conduct the 2008 Precision 15 series each Saturday, January 5 - May
31 and August 23 - November 29, weather permitting. Skippers are to
meet at the Tiki at 1:00 p.m. for instructions and determination of
boat rotation, if necessary. On days of a SYC special
sailing/boating event, the SYC Sailors will not have round-the buoys
racing.
The series races will be
governed by the rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing.
The Precision 15’s will be used and usually scored as a one design
class. Should another class of boat join us, the Race Chairman or
Principal Race Officer shall determine if handicap scoring is
appropriate. Scoring shall be the “low point system”. The starting sequence
shall be:
2 min. White
flag raised
1 min 10 sec White flag down
1 min Blue flag raised
10 sec Blue
flag down
0 sec Red flag
raised Start Sound signals may accompany
the raising of a flag, however the flag is the official signal.
Boats are to be behind the starting line 1 min. prior to the start.
The “round the ends” rule will be in effect as long as both ends of
the line have navigable water, otherwise, boats over early may dip
start to correct their error.
The races between January
and October will count toward the 2008 trophy. Sailors will need to
participate in 75% of the completed races to qualify for a trophy.
The November races will apply to the
2009 series.
Skippers are expected to
practice the “Basic Principal” of sportsmanship and do penalty turns
on the water.
