When a Yacht is Racing

Yachts are "Racing" from their preparatory signal, the five minute gun.

From this time, they are no longer allowed to use an engine for propulsion.

If the engine is still on, it must be out of gear.

On Sunday, a number of yachts were running engines after their five minute signal.

Those that were using their engines in gear, if you have not already done so, please contact the Sailing Secretary, the Commodore or the OD to advise that you wish to retire.

Happy sailing!
