RACE DAY CHECK LIST
1. Signal boat - capable of carrying at least 11 to 12 people with equipment plus its own crew.
2. Finish boat - capable of handling 4 people with equipment plus its own crew.
3. Late registration/inspection vessel - capable of carrying 2 people with equipment plus its own crew.
Signal boat, finish boat, and late registration/inspection vessels should have a cover to protect the crew from the sun, as these vessels will remain on the course for the entire day. Provisions for the vessels can be loaded prior to the vessel departing or by taxi boat during the lunch break. Alcoholic beverages are not requested.
4. Patrol vessels - one for each fleet plus a couple of spares to double up on large fleets.
Each boat is requested to have two individuals on board preferably both adults who are capable of towing or rendering assistance to a capsized sailboat.
5. Base radio operator - facilitates communications between the signal boat and the host club.
6. Taxi boat - carries people, provisions, registrations, and/or equipment between the host club and any of the committee/patrol boats.
7. Registration table at the
host club at an easily accessible location with a minimum of two volunteers,
plus the BBYRA registrar (during the first four race dates). The BBYRA
registrar will handle all season late registrations and distribute course
sheets to the seasonal competitors who register at the host club on a race day.
THERE IS NO SEASON REGISTRATION
"ON THE WATER". Late season
registrations DO NOT INCLUDE LUNCH. The volunteers will collect daily
registrations and distribute course sheets to the competitors who register at
the host club to race that day. The
Daily registration fee is $5.00 per scheduled race which DOES NOT INCLUDE LUNCH.
Consequently, if the competitor is
registering for both of two races on a given race day when the class is
scheduled for two races, then the daily fee is $10. LUNCH IS NOW OPTIONAL and available only
as long as supplies permit. Registration
forms and fees MUST be sent to the signal boat by the taxi boat twice each race
day that is to say as soon as the morning/afternoon races have begun. There
should also be an area that can prominently display the official race bulletin
board that would show changes to the race that day.

available only as long as supplies permit. Each host club will only need to
sell lunches to those that did not order season lunches through BBYRA. BBYRA
sold lunches up until
9. Lunch
distribution area at an easily accessible and highly visible area. We ask each
host club to have approximately 20% of their lunches ready for pick up at
Often the question of how many lunches to prepare/obtain is raised. Due to this year’s changes, this estimate may prove difficult to determine. BBYRA will supply each host club, at least a week in advance, with a list of sailors who ordered lunch as part of their season registration, and the number of lunches ordered by each sailor. In addition to number of lunches ordered by each sailor, each host club needs to provide lunch to all personnel on the Signal Boat, Finish boat, Line boat, Mark Set boat, Late registration/inspection vessel, Patrol boats, and those who sail on a daily basis The BBYRA Officers can advise you as to how many vessels have competed in each fleet this season on a daily basis which can be used as an additional guide in food preparation. This additional information will be available at least a week in advance of all races other than the first regatta.
Please have all of the vessels and crews available no
