Aust Sailing Australian IRC Championships

[Livia]

Somebody tell how me how to make sense of paragraph 3.3 as opposed to paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3 respectively.

I thought a boat could only have one valid IRC certificate at a time.

So paragraph 6.3 must be a mistake when talks about "certificates"

Presumably it is to allow a boat to race under a different certificate for race 1 (Hobart)

On one view you could change rigs and still stay inside your IRC measurement envelope

But if the purpose was to allow a change of rig configuration (say change from offshore mainsail) why does it refer to "certificates"

Guess you can alter your measurement trim and certificates during the regatta now if the OA allows it.

Hi Lydia

I cant explain, it's very confusing, and as per the other thread why only Div 1? [ of course we know the answer to that!!) It's very blatant and sad for Aus sailing imho. I'm guessing standintheway is at it again

Grogo,

Btw Has news of the Aust Sailing Queensland IRC Championships reached to 50 nautical miles to Mooloolaba from Waterloo Bay.

Apparently it are in 2 weeks time between the Bribie Cup and St Helena Cup.

NOR only seemed to go public a week ago.

News had not reached the north bank of Brisbane River by last week I am told.

 

[Gorn FRANTIC!!]

Hmmmmmmmmm someone must be worried they won't be able to beat Hooligan on the water.

 

[Razorblade_Romance]

Hooligan was never going to the Hobart IRC championships. 

As much as it is a fun rumour for people to throw about, they were consulted and informed other owners of their non-attendance, therefore it makes the DIV 1 Syd-Hobart part of it making quite a bit more sense.

As for certificates, you cannot have multiple.  You will be racing inshore under your Hobart certificate, with one less kite that you have dropped that had to be nominated prior to starting the race south.

That may have been the intention but that is not what is says

Its not a conspiracy.

Div1 are the only div to include the Hobart race in their series score (why?  That's another question).

An IRC rating certificate has multiple ratings on it (eg: no spinnaker number)

If you choose to sail the Hobart using this 'other configuration', you may.

3.3 explicity says "the IRC certificate"

 

[eastcoastlow]

The NOR for last years Aus IRC championships in Melbourne (Jan 2019) also had the Hobart race included, was only removed after some owners complained... I’ll see if I can find a copy.

What about the Melbourne to Hobart racers, or the Melbourne to Launceston, or the South Australian boats.  Not all boats do the Syd Hobart.  The NoR states that it is a Cat 5 event, definitely a conflict there.  6 races but 7 if you include the RSHYR.  Since when has the AYC been an offshore regatta.

Seems like an oddly specific time to be holding them

Australian Sailing, fucking the sport, one regatta at a time. Nothing new.

Whether Hooligan was going or not is irrelevant, the fact is at least 3 TP52s are now not going because of the bullshit requirement that the Sydney Hobart in Race 1 in Div 1.  Let's not sugar coat this as the same mistake was made last year, which they tried to change way to late,  and you'd think they would have learnt.  If they wanted a long race they could have sailed one as part of the regatta to an island in Storm Bay and Hobart has plenty of such options.  The sad reality is that it's a form of pot hunting and not in the interests of getting the maximum number of boats participating.  But then again, maybe that was the objective.

Long race with double points could be Hobart to south east cape to south west cape to the wave bouy at cape Sorell and return

about 300 miles

sort the kids out and you would have a proper series

personally I will go and anchor up in Louisa bay and charge huge salvage fees. He he he
